This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Doesn't follow through

Mr Roach and his team were contracted to handle my grandmother's estate. We met with them, signed paperwork, had questions answered by what appeared to be a enthusiastic team. After those initial meetings, everything has gone downhill. After being assigned executors in N.Y., we needed to file an an...cillary petition with the Florida courts. Almost three months later, that process hasn't even been started. Phone calls are ignored. This firm has been very unprofessional, and we are appalled.

President, CEO

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave regularly for nearly 20 years on a variety of complex business transactions, including incorporation, sale&merger, corporate governance, complex IPR licensing, venture capital and debt. In all instances we've been very pleased with every aspect of the work... product and the service. I'd recommend Dave to anyone seeking a mature, steady and knowledgeable counsel.

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.
