Posted by anonymous | September 25, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

David Aboulafia - I highly recommend Dave

Dave is an excellent lawyer; he took on a large and public organization in my defense and won for me a settlement that was fair and made me feel whole. My case involved Discrimination by my employer. David was well prepared and clear; he took a real interest in the case and also how I was managing th...e stress of the case (he cared as much about me as he did about winning the case). You cannot say this about many lawyers. I am very satisfied and happy with the outcome. Dave made me feel whole again; he gave back to me what the organization had taken away.

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.
