Professional, thoughtful guidance

I had a great experience speaking with David. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to listen and understand my questions. Our conversation was clear, practical, and helpful. I would recommend David to anyone looking for professional legal guidance.

A powerful advocate and advisor

I highly recommend David for anyone dealing with workplace discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. He was kind enough to provide an initial consult with me and gave me a clear outline of how I should proceed, potential risks, and scenarios to consider. When the worst happened, David stepped i...n and expertly navigated the situation. He highlighted the weaknesses in my company's case and successfully negotiated and advocated for me when I felt powerless to do so. His professionalism and strategic approach made a crucial difference during a challenging time. Thanks to him, I was able to secure more time to land a job at a better company where I know they will appreciate me for who I am and what I can contribute. If you need an attorney who will tirelessly advocate for you and your well-being, David is the one to call!

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.
