Posted by Chris | February 20, 2017 | Commercial

Friendly, relatable, and thorough.

I hired David to help review/negotiate a commercial lease for my company and we really enjoyed working with him. He was able to help us distill complex legal language into easy to understand terms, and was able to effectively communicate our concerns with the contract. His guidance helped us sidestep... a potentially disastrous lease arrangement. I would recommend him to friends/colleagues in a heartbeat

Knowledgeable, Attentive, and Resourceful Guidance

I consulted David during a recent conflict with my now former employer. Without his assistance, I wouldn't have understood the legal implications of my employer's actions or my rights. He didn't hesitate to place my interests before his own, and since the particulars of my circumstances didn't fall... within his specialities, he immediately referred me to someone who could more readily handle my case. Given my situation, expediting legal action was essential. His care and attention ensured that I received effective representation within the day I contacted him. He proved to be a tremendous resource whose guidance gave me the legal support I needed during a very challenging time. I'm grateful for his service and would most definitely work with him again if the need arises.

David helped teach us about wills, trusts and power of attorney

As first time parents, we were a bit unsure how and where to navigate finding a lawyer in order to establish a will, trust, and power of attorney for our daughter. We looked at a few lawyers who were not very attentive and wanted to charge outrageous. David was recommended to us by our financial advi...sor / wealth manager and we were very pleased to work with him. He guided us through the documents with ease, answered all our questions in terms we could understand, and made the entire process so much easier that we could have expected. Would definitely recommend him if you are starting a family and need to establish proper guidance!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
