Outstanding Attorney, Works at Impressive Speed, and Maximized Settlement Outcome

I cannot recommend David Kasell, ESQ highly enough. From early December through late January, he handled my case with an exceptional level of professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic judgment, ultimately securing a settlement outcome that exceeded my expectations. From the outset, David took... the time to thoroughly understand the details of my situation, explained my options clearly, and outlined a realistic strategy rather than making empty promises. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process—I was consistently kept informed, my questions were answered promptly, and I always felt that my case was treated as a priority. What stood out most was his ability to balance firmness and professionalism during negotiations. He was detail-oriented, well-prepared, and clearly experienced, which made a meaningful difference in the final result. The settlement he achieved brought real financial relief and much-needed closure during a very stressful period. If you are looking for an attorney who is sharp, trustworthy, efficient, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for his clients, I would not hesitate to recommend David Kasell. I am extremely grateful for his work and would absolutely work with him again if needed.

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

I needed help with a settlement with an MCA company based in NYC and hired David and his team. The response for the fastest and timely of any firm i have dealt with in my experience. He and Brian worked fast and diligently to get a resolution that was fair and tailored to my needs and ability. I ...would 100% recommend David and his firm for any needs with MCA or other disputes. I can't express my sincere gratitude enough for their work and speed in which they were able to resolve the matter.

Highly reccomend a true competant professional

I recently leased a car and got scammed by a dealership in Long island New York. Upon coming home i reviewed my paper work and noticed that it had been switched and the price was almost 10k of what i had agreed upon. i contacted them immediately and was told that although i was right that it was to ...late to make any corrections and i would just have to deal with. The scammers eventually stopped taking my calls. I knew i would have to retain a lawyer to be able to recoup any of my money. I reached out to a number of so called super lawyers and was most never even returned my calls and the ones that did all said the same thing. That Although i indeed got scammed my case was not worth there time. i was extremely upset frustrated beginning to think these scammers would get away with it. I refused to give up and continued my search and eventually came across David Kasell. Not only did David evaluate my case for free but agreed to take it on. Knowing my situation David agreed to work with me on his fees and we came to a very reasonable agreement. I submitted all my evidence and David assured me he would make things right. He kept in touch and was happy to answer any questions or concerns i had. To make a long story short not only did David get me a settlement check but he did so even faster than i expected. Apparently the dealership knew he meant business and wanted no parts of going to a trail. If it wasn't for David i would still be out thousands and the scamming dealership would likely have got away with ripping me off. I hope no one ever finds themselves in a similar situation but if you do the good news is David is only a phone call away. Cant say enough about how good and professional this man is, if only all lawyers were like him the world would be a better place. Id like to say Thanks David your efforts saved this hard working man being out thousands and unnecessary hardship. If it wasn't for you its likely these scammers/frauds would have got away with it. I highly recommend this attorney!

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.
