Highly Recommended

"I had been having issues with my new lease suv from the beginning” . A friend recommended Mr. Kasell. After our consultation, Mr. Kasell realized that I had a “Lemon Car Issue” . He took my case and immediately began working on it. Mr. Kasell was very knowledgable about this type of case. I reall...y appreciate how he kept me informed throughout the process. He was very detailed and always made himself available to any question I had. He got me more than what I was expecting to receive from the car company. I was very satisfied with Mr. David Kasell quick response and professionalism. I would highly recommended Mr. David Kasell and Kasell Law Firm. Thank you so much!" -- ANGELA

Highly Recommend

We are incredibly grateful for the help we received from Brian in David Kasell’s office. We are dealing with a lawsuit and bankruptcy involving a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA). We are in California and the lawsuit was filed in New York. Our BK attorney told us to find a New York Lawyer to help us out.... Brian took the time to speak with us and provided free, honest, and clear advice on how to proceed with filing the response ourselves. He is extremely knowledgeable about MCAs and explained the process in a way that made us feel informed and empowered, not overwhelmed. Even though it was a free consultation, they treated us with the same care and attention as if we were paying clients. I highly recommend David Kasell and his team. Their expertise, professionalism, and kindness truly made a difference for us during a stressful time.

Great representation

David and his team has been great the entire time while helping me navigate my situation. They have always been available to answer questions and it really gave me a peace of mind knowing that I have an experienced legal professional helping me with an important business legal matter. They do a great... job.

Life Changer

David was phenomenal. I was in a very bad position with my business drowning in MCA loans. After talking to David I started to feel a little better then after hiring him everything became so clear and the results were so much better than I thought possible. I am here to say my business is now thrivin...g and I can finally breathe. The stress is gone about worrying how am I going to pay all these MCA loans. David is a great communicator, his knowledge in this industry is second to none and with him on my side I never had to worry.

Knowledgeable, dedicated, and helpful

I hired David Kasell to represent me on a lemon law case with a difficult manufacturer, after I had completed the arbitration process and it was found in my favor. The process took months and was extremely complex, and David used his knowledge and experience to navigate it wonderfully and guide me t...o a resolution that was exactly what we asked for, and were legally entitled to. Throughout the process, David stayed on top of the manufacturer's Counsel and continually advocated for me, while keeping me up to date and providing guidance along the way. I would recommend David to anyone who needs this sort of help.
