Great Attorney

Mr. DeVita is an outstanding attorney. He successfully handled my case against my accountant for business fraud. Mr D is an expert in these financial fraud matters and as such provided me excellent advice and recommendations. He is very focused and efficient. He gets to the key issues quickly. M...r DeVita is thorough in the homework he does. So there were no surprises. He effectively assesses the issues from all perspectives to arrive at the best approach that will prove successful. In addition, he is extremely well organized and an effective communicator when the legal battles begin. Mr. D does not over promise ... he is solutions driven. Finally, Mr. DeVita is very responsive to all phone and written communications. I rate Mr. DeVita as a A+ attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone. not waste time with unnecessary or lengthy phone meetings.
