David Earl Dearing

anonymous · real estate · May 2026

What follows is my opinion, nothing more. My wife and I hired David Dearing to help us with a zoning issue with the City of Indianapolis. We use many attorneys, including for our business, and for family law (Wills, etc.), so are extremely familiar with hiring, and working with a lawyer. We have neve r been anything but happy with our choices, and we still use them as needed, but we needed a zoning specialist, so we found David on line and hired him. I am sorry to say that we were extremely disappointed with him. First of all, he provided us with an estimate, and his charges ended up being MUCH MUCH higher than that estimate, and to make matters worse, we were not happy with him, and cancelled his services before the hearing even took place, so we felt that his charges should have been less than the estimated amount. Wow, were we wrong. In the end, we hired someone else, and so far, we are very happy with them. Again, this is just my opinion, and I make no specific claims, and your experience might be different. That being said, my wife and I were not at all happy with his services, and we would absolutely not recommend him.

Mr. Dearing is a well-seasoned veteran who often thinks outside-the-box to reach favorable results for the lowest costs possible. I have used his services on a variety of environmental and regulatory matters and have never been disappointed. He always discusses strategies well in advance of executing them in order to keep me (the client) well-informed. He returns all calls and emails within a day, which is quite rare with most attorneys. He has my highest recommendation!
