Wonderful lawyer

David Dwork went above and beyond in my personal injury case and I highly, highly recommend him. He was not only extremely knowledgeable re: my injury (post-concussion syndrome, which is often misunderstood and/or minimized), but was also extremely kind, empathetic and patient, which meant the world ...to me. David is well-versed in these types of cases and knew (and retained) the experts needed to provide documentation that strengthened my case. I'm forever grateful to him for all of the work he put into ensuring a successful outcome and for the kindness he showed me during an extremely difficult time.

Best lawyer for our complicated job!

David Dwork did a phenomenal job for us! We were sued individually by a company whose had a vendetta against one of us. Of course they had vastly more funds than we did personally. David was able to make make the case for us such that we won. And he did it while paying attention to the charges so we... could afford it. He is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with, and explained everything very clearly. Thanks so much David!

Simply the best

Attorney Dwork represented me against a condo association eventhough real estate is not his typical area of practice. He is able to gather resources needed and is very diligent. His tremendous litigation experience knowing all dos and don'ts along with the respect earned from peers and judges will ...serve his clients well. He is never arrogant and will work with you to make sure he is representing you for your best interest at your comfort level. Needless to say, it was a victory and I am thankful he represented me.

If I needed an attorney, I would want David Dwork to represent me.

I worked closely with David for more than 25 years in a mid-size law firm where, for much of that time, he was head of the litigation department. As we worked together on numerous complex litigation matters, he showed a deep knowledge of the law in many areas. David is an exceptionally skilled atto...rney from whom I and other attorneys often sought advice and guidance. David zealously represents his clients, doing all that is required to obtain the best possible result. He combines excellent advocacy and negotiation skills with careful legal analysis, persuasive writing and careful, thorough preparation. Throughout the litigation process, David remains focused on what is best for the client, providing realistic advice and using common sense to determine how best to serve his client in an effective yet cost effective way. I give David my highest and completely unqualified endorsement.

Effective and caring lawyer

David was the best choice for representing my daughter after she was hit by a car, during a very painful time. He is both knowledgeable and compassionate. His explanations were very clear, and he always gave us choices after he made us fully informed. He pursued the case strongly and respected our vi...ews. Very pleasant to deal with, very available, and very effective. I understand why he was recommended so highly.

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.
