MOST FAMILY LAWYERS HAVE NEVER HANDLED MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR CASES.

DAVE HAS.

Attorney David Post can talk about litigation until the cows come home. With decades of experience in the courtroom, Dave has seen just about every twist and turn that litigation can bring. And truth be told, that’s exactly what he loves about it. He has incredible talent for taking complex legal matters and distilling them into something clear and manageable, because when you truly understand your situation, you can make the decisions that will transform your future.

“Attorney Post represented me in a post-divorce matter regarding the alimony I was ordered to pay my ex-husband. Even though the odds were against me, Attorney Post was able to negotiate a settlement where my alimony payment of $888 per month was reduced to $1 per year! His professionalism and calm demeanor were very reassuring during an extremely stressful and emotional time in my life. I recommend Attorney Post without hesitation.”

That skill started early. During his Law Review days at Western New England University, where he graduated near the top of his class and served as an assistant editor, Dave focused on understanding not just the law, but how to explain it clearly so people could take control of their lives. That drive to empower people through their toughest moments has shaped his entire career.

After law school, Dave’s career as a partner-level insurance litigation attorney set him apart from most family law practitioners. While many divorce attorneys have only practiced in family court, Dave spent years handling some of the most complex and high-value cases in Connecticut, managing sophisticated discovery, expert witnesses, and multi-million dollar litigation strategies. When he brings that level of experience into a family law case, whether it involves complex business valuations, forensic accounting, or high-conflict courtroom battles, opposing counsel and judges recognize they’re facing someone with an exceptional depth of litigation expertise.  Dave was selected to the Connecticut Super Lawyers® list for 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Dave’s decision to practice family law exclusively felt like the perfect fit, and over more than a decade, he built a thriving practice helping Connecticut families take charge of their futures. Dave spent years establishing himself as a trusted Connecticut family law attorney, particularly in the Glastonbury area. At his core, he’s a problem solver who believes in giving clients the honest truth – even when it’s not what they want to hear. Whether it’s guiding clients through divorce or helping families navigate complex legal terrain, Dave doesn’t just give you a plan; he gives you the knowledge and confidence to build the life you want after divorce. That litigation experience, combined with years of running his own successful family law practice, makes Dave particularly skilled at cases involving complex assets or high-stakes situations where sophisticated legal strategy is essential.

He’s worked with hundreds of clients over the years, helping them understand not just what’s ahead, but empowering them to make the decisions that will shape their new chapter. Dave knows that divorce isn’t just about ending a marriage – it’s about creating the foundation for the future you truly want. One client shared how Dave “guided me through the process and made me feel confident about my future” and gave her “hope during an incredibly difficult time.” Others describe him as “very personable, understanding and prompt” and say they “would hire again without question.”

Dave has known Meghan Freed since their law school days, so when the opportunity arose to join Freed Marcroft, it was an easy decision. He was drawn to working with a team of attorneys who truly collaborate to deliver the best possible outcomes for their clients. Professional colleagues note that “David is a smart and compassionate family lawyer” with exactly “the qualities that you’d want by your side during a divorce or family law issue.”

This rare combination of partner-level civil litigation experience and seasoned family law practice means Dave can handle cases that might overwhelm other attorneys – from complex business valuations to high-conflict custody battles that require sophisticated legal maneuvering. His versatility extends beyond family law as well, with clients praising his business and employment law expertise as “exactly what I needed to move forward with confidence in difficult situations.”

Outside the office, Dave is all about his family. He and his wife are proud UConn alumni (it’s where they met!), and he’s a diehard Huskies fan who has passed that passion down to his two pre-teen sons. Between youth sports and chauffeuring duty, Dave keeps busy when he’s not in court. Come winter, you’ll often find the whole crew hitting the slopes or hanging at home with their rescue pup, Mortimer, who remains deeply unimpressed with Huskies of any kind.

Dave is a Connecticut attorney. And a proud UConn Husky.
