Best Lawyer Experience

Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had with a lawyer. I contacted David Kasell because a dealership blatantly broke the law and falsely advertised a vehicle my wife was purchasing while I’m deployed. We called the dealer out on it and they contributed it to “luxury fees and preparation” which i...s bulls**t. I contacted David after reading his reviews and they are all very truthful. After a little over two weeks, he had reached a settlement agreement with the dealership where they agreed to paid us the difference. I would not hesitate to hire him again if I need him. He’a a straight shooter and he made sure I understood what to expect. He responds quickly and answered all questions with 100% honestly. I highly recommend him with extreme confidence. I cannot recommend him enough.

Great Experience with David

I needed David's assistance getting my car back from a shady used car dealer that I consigned the vehicle with. Being 165 miles away was a challenge so I contacted David. He stepped in and within a few weeks I was able to extract my vehicle and get it back with all the documentation. His follow up... and communication was excellent and I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing assistance. Thanks again David!

Hire David Kasell!

We purchased a car from a used car dealership in NY, spent a ton of money to never actually get the car. The car had multiple issues and the dealership refused to refund us. The dealership kept making bogus excuses to why the car had issues and kept delaying dates to when we could actually get it. ...After weeks/months of being so frustrated we contacted Attorney Kasell who explained to us we had a Lemon Law case. David was honest and upfront about what he would charge, which was very reasonable, explained the actions he would take, and honestly it sounded too good to be true at first. He asked me to send him an email with details of what we experienced. Using our information, David sent a strong-worded letter to the dealership as well as contacting them directly. David kept us informed of the process and is an excellent communicator. David is easy to get in touch with, which is also appreciated. He was able to get us a full refund within a very short period of time. We are extremely happy we made the choice to hire Atty. David Kasell. He is professional, knows the laws, and most importantly GETS IT DONE! Highly recommended. You will be happy with your decision to hire him.

Simply the best

Mr. Kasell is a great lawyer. He will work closely with you and answer all your questions thoughtfully. He was very quick to take my case, file it and respond to any questions I had, and over all very communicative with me. I never felt in the dark, or pushed to do anything and most importantly he... made all the legal proceedings very easy to understand. He charges a very fair rate, and settled my case quickly. If you have been wronged by a car dealer or car company, this guy is the best and I highly recommend giving him a call. Thanks Mr. Kasell !

  • 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.
