Great attorney

I was involved in motorcycle accident. After my surgery I was at a resturant and slipped in the bathroom. I reinjuried my leg. The bathroom floor was greasing and when I hobbled in on my crutchs I slipped and fell. My friend had to come in and help me get up and he too was slipping. David helped... me through it. He was very knowledgable and keep me informed. He was very honest in his assestment of the situation even through I thought I could get more. In the end he was correct in what they would settle for. I will use him again
