David B. Himelman, Esquire

I don’t think I can write enough words to express my appreciation to Mr. Himelman but I’m sure I will tell everyone about his firm, not to help him get new business but for those who are looking for real, honest and reasonable attorney.

David Himelman represented the seller of a property that I purchased last month. The first half of the transaction went smooth and David seemed like a nice, reasonable person to work with, however, as the transaction continued and we approached closing, I received multiple irate calls from David, yelling at me, insulting me, and even threatening me, all for sending a follow up email once I was ready to close on my side of the transaction. A transaction, might I add, that the seller side took over 2 months to provide access for an appraisal. I was blindsided by an irate phone call from David screaming at ME for an issue he had with my title company, I simply told him in an email that I needed 1 additional document to be signed to be clear to close on my side and was screamed at like a child for an issue he had with my title company, not even with me. I was clear to close in 4 days after I was finally given access for the appraisal. I did everything right on my side for this transaction.

David was unbelievably unprofessional and incredibly rude. He has decades of experience practicing law and currently sits on numerous boards, however, I would seriously think twice before choosing David as representation on any matter. I personally know I would never want my attorney to speak to anyone I was doing business with the way David spoke to me. Violent mood swings, belittling threats, and fits of rage are not attributes of a good attorney.

For reference, I am in Real Estate full time as my profession, since 2020 I have bought, sold, and transacted in over 100 sales, this one was one of the worst, and David was one of the most unprofessional, disrespectful attorneys I’ve dealt with. I would highly recommend to anyone considering using David as an attorney seek other representation, there are better options out there.
