A very considerate and professional attorney

My late father had a piece of property in Massachusetts that my siblings and I had to sell. None of us lived in state, and there was a considerable amount of legal work to do. We were lucky to find David. He took care of everything for us, even finding an excellent realtor. David was considerate ...and thoughtful, and treated us with respect while we were going through a difficult time. He kept us informed and guided us through the maze of court filings and probate hearings with great care. The bottom line is that we sold the property without having to come to Massachusetts even once; David even handled the sale. I would recommend David to anyone. I can't thank him enough for what he did for us.

Honest,thorough,fun,accurate,dependable,informed

I cannot sing this man's praises enough. I have used David's services for five years now and can't imagine succeeding in my business the way I have without him!!! I was audited and EVERY little detail was accurate! David has saved me thousands and thousands of dollars. When I was nervous about being ...audited he was right there every step of the way reassuring me everything would be ok!!! He has also helped my son, a merchant marine save thousands of dollars! He not only works on your current life but helps you to plan ahead saving you even more money! Even more important than all the money he has saved us due to his integrity and honesty, he is fun to be around!!! and he likes it when you bring him dinner for those late in the day appointments!!!!

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.
