Honest, straight forward and helpful.

I worked with Mr Ross on a real estate issue and he was knowledgeable and explained the situation, provided options and helped me achieve a desirable outcome. I appreciate his honesty and candid communication.

Great Job

Did an outstanding job and easy to work with, made the whole process easier than expected. Long divorce that was contested, David gave good advice. was up front about the cost, and listened to what I wanted. He provided all options on what could be done, but never tried to "steer me" in any one di...rection. Will definitely use his services for any future needs.

My Million Dollar Result

Recently, I was faced with a very difficult set of events and need an attorney with very short order. My family was facing extreme circumstances that would have possibly divided my home and cause a major upset, to make matters even worse, my opponent sent service to appear to another address in anoth...er state; with just a few days to spare and no experience, I contacted Ross & Ross, spoke with David and immediately felt most of the pressure being lifted off our shoulders. Met with David in his office two weeks later, went over the case in more detail and off to court within a few hours. David was very professional, kept me informed and worked tirelessly on my case, He was very responsive, spending many more hours than he was paid, but still he completed the case with a million dollar result. The case was decided in our favor due to David's excellence and overall knowledge. He is someone I trust. During the entire case, my future depended on him and he did not disappoint. I hereby highly recommend him. He is the attorney anyone can trust!

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.
