Business Divorce

I retained David Paris to represent me in a Business Divorce. As a minority partner I had limited rights and little leverage with the controlling partner. The buyout negotiations quickly went sour and I was forced to litigate to compel settlement. Shortly thereafter, the controlling partner counte...r sued, alleging professional malpractice (I hold a professional license). With the possibility of losing my livelihood, the matter quickly became serious and complicated. Throughout the protracted litigation which lasted almost three years, David remained on top of the matter. He was always prepared regardless of whether it was for an argument before the judge, a deposition, or discussions with the opposing attorney. My lawsuit involved numerous complex allegations of business, tax and financial improprieties. David was able to grasp each issue and make the appropriate argument. I personally attended every hearing before the judge and not once was David unprepared. He was polite to the opposition, yet tenacious in his approach. He was always able to make our point. In the end, thru mediation, David negotiated the settlement I deserved. He, his staff, and his firm genuinely cared about the outcome and worked very, very hard to ensure success. I have recommended, (and will continue to recommend) David and his firm.

David Paris

David Paris took ample time to understand all aspects of my case. David was proactive along the way and meticulously documented all the facts and events from the onset through the trial. He is extremely professional and yet genuinely empathetic to the situation. I was confident David not only had co...mplete understanding of the facts of the case, but also completely understood my concerns, situation and emotional state during the entire process. David's time management was extremely efficient and effective. David was always available for calls or meetings when I had questions and concerns. David very professionally prepared me for all aspects of the trial and I felt extremely confident during my testimony. I would recommend David Paris and his firm for any legal issue.

Best attorney ever

I am so glad I decided to work with David. He put me at ease from our first telephone conversation. I left our first meeting feeling confident in how my situation would be handled. A plan was in place and Dave guided me throughout the entire process of what was a very stressful set of circumstances. ... He always took time to answer my questions and made sure I was always comfortable in the decisions we made. I am grateful to him for his concern, advice and help. I have and will continue to recommend him to others.

Avvo Rating

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.
