    • I recommend David Hanley.
    • I hired David 6-12 months ago.
    • David handled my Real Estate matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    David was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and courteous at all times. I highly recommend him! I needed a closing attorney to review my title work and closing docs, for my home that I was selling. He worked well with the buyer's title company, with its paralegal and its attorney, in all respects. When there was an unexpected turn in events, he advised how best to handle the situation. I was very happy with his performance.

    • I recommend David Hanley.
    • I hired David 1-3 years ago.
    • David handled my Business matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    I have known Mr. Hanley for over 13 years, and first came to use his services in connection with my small business. Since that time, David has represented me in several other business ventures, as well as many personal matters (including two probate matters and estate planning).

    In the past, I have worked with other attorneys that seem to be more interested in generating billable hours than solving problems. Attorney Hanley has always been a no-nonsense individual, dedicated to finding the best solution to a problem in an efficient and cost-effective manner. I have always been pleased with Mr. Hanley’s work, and will continue to use him whenever the need arises. I highly recommend him.

    • I recommend David Hanley.
    • I hired David more than 3 years ago.
    • David handled my Business matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    I was Chief Operating Officer for an $8M health care agency to which Mr. Hanley provided legal counsel. He also supported my personal real estate investment activities. I can tell you that David is a pro's pro. He provided timely, expert and sound legal support on a variety of legal issues including civil suits, corporate structuring, real estate and risk management. And when David did not have an answer regarding a legal matter, he knew someone in his firm or in the community who did. There is nothing worse than a professional who tries to position himself, inappropriately, as a Jack of all trades.

    His billing hours and fees were in line with the marketplace and reasonable. I highly recommend him.

    • I recommend David Hanley.
    • I hired David 1-3 years ago.
    • David handled my Commercial matter.
    • I have previously worked with 6-10 lawyers.

    David worked with us on various, somewhat complex cross-state matters and handled them expeditiously. We had spoken to other lawyers who really weren't sure what to do.

    He was also helpful in a labor matter. he's a confident practitioner who is not afraid to say "this requires an expert" and then refer you to one.

    Of all attorney's I've dealt with, David is the most patient, professional, well informed and knowledgeable. He can be trusted to be almost like an extension of your family, ensuring your security and future. He is proactive in his approach and always available unlike other attorney's.
