Excellent & Professional

David was knowledgeable and insightful in assisting me with my case. His expertise in his area along with his masterful approach gave me the results I was looking for. He responded in a timely manner and cares about the work he does for his clients. He is extremely intelligent and thoughtful withi...n his craft and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. Prior to hiring David, I was battling a large cooperation and was unsuccessful in my attempt to settle a dispute that the cooperation was 100% responsible for. Without David's assistance, I would still be battling this corporation and would be in the same predicament. I am very thankful to have David settle my case and I am extremely happy with the outcome. He is an excellent attorney, honest, and fair. It's a combination that is rare to find today, but he did a remarkable job. Thank you, David, for all of your help!

Took my case when all other attorneys turned me away

The case was settled out of court within 2 weeks of retaining him. It was a False advertising and lending act case. I had signed a contract paying way more for my car then the car was advertised and the dealership lied about bank fees. The dealership offered a deal and David Kasell negotiated with th...em until I was happy with the money amount offered. If i was not happy with their deal David had no problem going further and litigating with them in court. I highly recommend giving him a call if you have any car dealership issues hes an honest and truthful lawyer who was upfront about risks and gave truthful advise regarding the case.

Thank you Mr. Kasell.

Wonderful Lawyer/Lemon Law Case

David is a great lawyer, I would recommend him to anyone. I hired him for a lemon law case I had against ford/lincoln . This was a very difficult case and because of his knowledge and professionalism we won this case against ford/lincoln and I was refunded my money and relinquished from the lease. H...e was always there to answer the phone when I had a question and was very patient and explanatory with all of my concerns. He is very professional, punctual and prepared lawyer. I had not one worry the day of my hearing because he had everything prepared and ready to present. I am very thankful to have found a great lawyer and nice person like him to work with.

David was great allowing me to call him and assist me on a strategy to deal with collection agencies and their tactics. Very straight forward and to the point. I would highly recommend him. Thanks Avvo and David I feel strongly that I'm on the correct path in resolving my situation with a positive ou...tcome.
