  • “Our family is now complete and official thanks to Otten law firm. The process was so quick and easy.”

    Kimberly H. - Adoption Client

  • "He was very understanding and really took the time to listen and to find answers that would help our situation. He's easy to talk to, communication is excellent, he is hands on unlike other firm/lawyers that always pass you to their people/assistants. I would not hesitate to use the Otten Law again if given the situation. Hands Down!"

    Jana R. - Adoption Client

  • "Mr. Otten was extremely professional, kind and down to earth. He made our adoption process even better. As far as we are concerned, Mr. Otten will always be our family attorney!"

    Toosti N. - Adoption Client

  • "David went above and beyond making our daughter’s adoption experience wonderful. He was quick to answer any and all questions we had. The whole process was quick, and special. We remember when David said upon consultation , “This is a celebration”. We knew then he was the perfect lawyer for us. Thank you David for all you did for our family! Forever grateful."

    Allison H. - Adoption Client

  • "Highly recommend! Very quick and easy adoption process"

    Caitlyn C. - Adoption Client

  • "Mr. Otten is professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and refreshingly pragmatic. Many lawyers seem to want to get the hour of billing and talk theoretically about all possibilities and vamp on the potential eventualities. David does none of this. He took care of my LLC filing very quickly and handled every detail with care-- he had everything finished and filed two and a half weeks before my target date!"

    Michael D. - Business Client

  • "Mr. Otten was very responsive and kept me informed each step along the way. It was a pleasure working with him and I will use again in the near future."
