Wonderful counseling

In a long overdue planning of my estate I am thankful to finally have it done- and the peace of mind that goes with it! Attorney Sanborn had the knowledge and experience to make the process extremely easy for me. He explained the process step by step and everything ran smoothly. I’m beyond grateful a...nd will recommend him any time!

Extremely satisfied with his services

From start to finish he kept me informed. I didn't have to call and check in with him. Very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him.

Great Lawyer

I have used Attorney Sanborn for 3 times for Real Estate transactions. He is very professional and timely with his work and communication. I would highly recommend him next time you need a Real Estate Attorney. He also does estate planning, wills, etc.

Amazing lawyer

David was very understanding and professional. This was our first time having to hire an attorney and given the situation with our case, I truly believe we could not have won without him. We were the defendants and it was quite clear David put in the research to form a strong argument for our side in... the trial. We felt so relieved when we found out we won our case. I would recommend David Sanborn for anyone who is unsure who to hire to represent them.

Real Estate closing October 2020

Attorney Sanborn performed a closing for me in October 2020, he was professional, looking out for my interests 100% of the way. I would certainly hire him again for a real estate closing. Well done! JM

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
