Retail Manager Employment Separation

David Wims is an expert advocate in employment law! I sought his assistance to understand my separation agreement and severance from a large Retail Company. David was knowledgeable and attentive to my situation. He provided timely feedback and results during a difficult time. Without his help I woul...d've been lost between the legal jargon in the separation agreement and the fair advocacy for increased funds, David and his team are true winners!

Best experience

I hired Mr. Wims to represent me in an automobile accident claim. I normally don't do reviews but felt compelled to write a review on my experience Mr. Wims as my attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable on my rights and most importantly he kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Wims and his tea...m felt more like family they showed interest not only in my case but my physical well being. I was in a lot of pain because of my accident they had doctor referrals ready to assist me in my recovery. My case was settled and I was extremely satisfied with my settlement and my experience with his firm. I would highly recommend Mr. Wims and firm if your looking for an attorney that's put his clients best interest first and most importantly is knowledgeable in the law then this is the firm for you.

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.
