Posted by Sam | January 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Smart, Experienced & Responsive

I have known Dave for almost twenty years. I have hired him when I needed him and I recommend him often. Dave brings to his work the qualities which I value most in a lawyer: Deep knowledge of about law and practice, a bright mind, a strong back and a keen ear. In an area full of loud ads and que...stionable practices, Dave's integrity stands out.

Dave was great to work with. Responsive, knowledgeable in all aspects. He was very pleasant to deal with and really helped me understand what my case was all about. I would recommend him to others. I would also use him again if needed.

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.
