A massive help
David was extremely helpful and attentive in an very stressful time/situation in my life. He simplified the legal process to my understanding and basically held my hand as he walked me through it. He brought a swift ending to my case all with a smile even when I was procrastinating. I would recommend his services to anyone and I will definitely come back to him for future needs if necessary.

Review
This is a very professional and caring law firm. David Crossley is hands on and attentively listens to what you say. His support staff is great and equally as professional and caring. Phone calls and E-mails are responded to, at the latest, the next day. The actual hearing is less tense as Atty. Crossley explains everything that is going on.

He's the best
David Crossley helped us with some estate planning. He's attentive and knowledgeable, always available to us over a three month span. He worked quickly and efficiently and never wasted our time. He made what can sometimes be an intimidating and complicated process run very smoothly. I would highly recommend him for any of your legal needs.

Put my mind at ease
Bankruptcy is never something you plan on in your life, nor is it something to talk to everyone about. It can be a very humbling experience to realize you need the help. Dave and his team are absolutely amazing and made me feel “normal and human” I tried my best, but felt like I failed in life financially. They made me feel like I was not a failure, that sometimes life happens. The process was explained easily to me, I got emails and calls back in a timely fashion and always felt I was in good hands. I feel like I have my life back, and couldn’t be happier with the experience! If you feel like how I felt, you owe it to yourself to at least call and see How they can help you!

Exptreme knowledge and proffesionalism
High level of knowledge and professionalism We needed an attorney for a complex bankruptcy situation. Not knowing where to start I just went online to search for one. David was the only one who not only called back but spent time to hear me out. His knowledge and professionalism are phenomenal! In a very easy to understand way he laid out to us the process of filing and any possible outcomes. With the help of him and his team we filed and five year later we are relieved to have this ordeal behind us. What I appreciate the most is the personal approach he has when I would randomly call to ask about a situation or an issue that has was not even part of our case. On numerous occasions I would just call with a random question related vaguely to our case and he will take his time (sometimes close to 30 min on the phone with me) to patiently and professionally explain and even educate me on how to go around my issue. Any updates on our case were communicated immediately via email or a call. I was impressed on his high ethics; he will call to follow up exactly as he promises to the point! I highly recommend David and his team. You will not only have a solid representation, but your needs will be handled in a very courteous manor, a personal approach and an easy to understand way. And at the end of the day, this is all you would need; a comfort of knowing that your dire situation is handled, and you can now breathe easier! Thank you, David and Crossley Law Offices team!

Great!
I'm a client, my case is still pending, and Attorney Crossley has been amazing! His intelligence, understanding of the law, and compassion were way above my expectations of a random lawyer whom I found on Google Maps. I lucked out and so did many of his other clients!

Outstanding and Top Notch Lawyer!
First time when I made the phone call to Attorney Crossley, he was very professional, kind and caring - I felt at ease after talking to him, I was a nervous wreck before finding a lawyer to file my bankruptcy case. He is outstanding, compassionate and most honest - I have high respects for him and his assistant, Fumi. They had made everything so much easier and less stressful with the case. Attorney Crossley is a rare breed and most highly recommended!

It was a pleasure working with David Crossley
When I contacted David Crossley about my possible Bankruptcy case he immediately setup an appointment to meet me on a Saturday at my house. He explained the process to me and was very sympathetic to my situation. I hired him and he did a great job handling my case. It is now 3 years later and all my Chapter 13 obligations are satisfied thanks to David. I would recommend David to anyone seeking help in this area.

Trust this attorney with your bankruptcy case
Unlike many attorneys who give the profession a bad name, David Crossley is both a consummate professional and a wonderful human being. He is honest, knowledgeable, organized, and committed to doing his best for you. He knows bankruptcy law and the local players so very well. He will explain what is going on and decisions you need to make in simple language that almost anyone can understand. You will never feel as if he is taking advantage of you which is a common perception people have of their attorneys. At every step of the way, he let me know what was up next and what it might cost me. If you have a bankruptcy case for which you need a lawyer, I recommend that you hire David Crossley, and I come from a family of lawyers.

Highly Recommend
As a company that routinely loans out high-end equipment to new and existing restaurants, we are aware of the high frequency of failing restaurants and continuous turnover in the food industry. Retrieving our machines from these businesses can be extremely difficult, both logistically and emotionally. We recently went through this process with a company and were fortunate enough to have the assistance of David Crossley of Avvo. He helped liaison the transfer of equipment and was extremely efficient and helpful in all of our communications. David helped alleviate the stress and efforts for both sides involved, and was nothing short of professional in our interactions. Espresso Plus highly recommends David Crossley for matters such as this, and look forward to our future dealings with him.

5 Stars for David Crossley
I just want to give david Crossley Law a 10-- the best possible-- for his handling of my bankruptcy case. He was prompt, thorough, and very sensitive and empathetic to my plight. I can't think of how he could have been better-- If possible, I would rate him 6 stars...

Bankruptcy is a difficult, emotional decision. Attorney Crossley helped me tremendously by responding promptly to all my questions and thoroughly explaining the process. I felt like my case was being handled to the best of his ability and he never made me feel like less than a person for needing to go through this difficult process.

Considerate and Caring
I never had any financial problems in all of my adult life until my divorce. Not only was it devastating for me, but put me in a whirlwind of credit cards. I was not going on luxury vacations, but supporting my children without child support from their father. Needless to say, I accumulated a large debt that I saw no end in sight. I might add that after a 13 year period only a insignificant percentage had been reduced. After fighting the initial fear and shame of even considering Chapter 7, I made my phone calls. I spent months calling bankruptcy lawyers and checking them out on the net. David responded and was kind and clear. It is very hard for anyone to go through something like this and David understands that. He was with me all the way and explained in simple terms the things that I needed to do. We set up a payment plan that I could afford monthly and started the process. Relief and comfort is how I feel today.

Attorney Crossley & his wonderful assistant Fumi made what I thought would be a very stressful situation a smooth transition while filing for Bankruptcy. Professional in every way, ethical, and compassionate, a great weight was lifted from my shoulders. For an elderly man who was apprehensive at first I am so glad I hired Dave to handle my Bankruptcy. I can never thank him enough for a job well done ! January 2016
