A well professional attorney!

I hired Attorney David Kasell, he made sure justice was served on my behalf. Every step of the process to assist me he assured me and made me feel confident that I would be pleased with the outcome of my case. He is reliable and a great negotiator. I like how he made time to explain to me what can... or can not happen in my case. He was very thorough. I recommend his legal services to anyone that wants a competent attorney to work on their behalf. Mr. Kasell handled my case which was pertaining to my state lemon law. Lemon laws are laws that provide a solution for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods to be properly compensate when the product continuously fail to meet the standards of quality and performance.

Honest, effective, punctual

I called David's office on a bit of a whim, having decided to pursue a lemon law suit against my motorcycle manufacturer, but not knowing what any of the process would entail. My hope was that I might schedule an appointment to chat with an attorney about the facts of my case. Instead, David took my ...call and talked me through the process, before ever receiving a dollar from me. I was so impressed by his willingness to be of service, I knew I didn't need to look any further for legal representation. After our first consultation, he explained that my case would be sufficient under NYS lemon law and we started the process of filing suit against the manufacturer. Throughout the entire process, David was reliable, punctual, and transparent. When he said he would have paperwork filed by a certain date, he did. I never felt like I had to chase him down to get answers, never feared I was losing track of where we were in the process. Filing a lawsuit can seem like a major step to take, but David's firm made the process very manageable. In the end, the manufacturer decided to repurchase my motorcycle for the full retail price, including the trade-in value of my old motorcycle. I honestly could not have been happier with the outcome or my representation. I highly recommend Kasell Law Firm.

Client

I contacted Kasell Law Firm regarding my concern with a potential dealership fraud. I told him my story and how everything went and he instantly offered a helping hand. On the day I signed my retainer he went to work. By the end of the day I the dealership was ready to settle and I was shocked and ha...ppy. Mr. David got me out of a contract I didn’t want and a car I had gotten but couldn’t drive. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulder. Thank you so much Mr. David Kasell !!

Great Experience

I welcome the opportunity to write about David Kasell, Esq. In 2018 I hired Mr. Kasell to help me litigate against a major car manufacturer. He was referred to me as an expert in the automotive field, and the best in the field. I found him to be very professional. He was honest, clear and upfront abo...ut his fee, as well as with his explanation on what the process would be like. There were no surprises along the way. His expertise made the process stress-free, and left me feeling confident that the case would be resolved to my advantage. Mr. Kasell delivered just that, and in less time than I expected. Given my personal experience, I highly recommend David Kasell without hesitation for his professionalism, skills and integrity.

Professional who gets results!

After being mistreated by a large auto dealer in queens I reached out to a few lawyers for some guidance. They all turned me away saying I had no case and it would be a waste to hire them. Then i found Mr. Kasell, he found the descrepencies in the paperwork needed to attack the dealership and we ma...de a deal. Mr. Kasell was a true professional and worked fast, he kept me updated throuout the process and was a savior. I have recommended him to a friend in the same situation and he was able to assist him as well. If you are a victim of any sales malpractice, i suggest reaching out to David and see what he can do for you.
