Personal injury lawyer | Nov 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David is committed to his relationships with his clients. David and I recently attended an event that finished after 8 pm. At the conclusion of the event, David checked his cell phone and saw that a client had called during the event. Unlike most lawyers, David called her back and treated her with warmth and respect. David is the most empathetic personal injury attorney I have ever met. David has won several seven figure judgments for his clients. He is a hero to his clients. I can't recommend him enough. He takes his clients serious personal injuries seriously."

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.
