Exactly what you're looking for

I was in a very tough and overwhelming spot. Working with David Cherry and his firm simplified things and ended up giving me peace of mind. He puts time, effort and heart into his work and it shows. We ultimately reached my desired outcome, and I could not be happier. 5 stars.

Smooth Journey to a Successful Conclusion.

I was referred to Dave by a family friend in Philadelphia. I explained that my injury happened at the Jersey Shore and Dave quickly went down to inspect and photograph the location of the injury. He reached out to the owner of the establishment and got in touch with his insurance company thereafter. ...While I was treating my injuries, Dave was working on my case. After completing my treatment, Dave was able to get a good resolution to my case. I highly recommend Dave.

5-Star Rating & Top Notch Experience

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Dave. From the jump, he makes you feel very comfortable and throughout the process he was extremely responsive, objective & transparent. Combine that with his thoughtful approach with both his clients and the way he handles a case, an...d it's easy to understand how he was able to help facilitate a smooth and successful outcome for us. Dave was able to take an affidavit of probable cause for a retail theft charge and work with the officer & DA to get it down to a summary offense based on the spotty evidence, lack of track record, total sales at that retail store outside of the targeted few cases in question as well as some other factors. Cannot thank him enough as if this wasn't achieved, would have had to plead not guilty and actually go to court for a crime that was never committed and an arrest that was never even actually made.

Outstanding Service

I cannot express how grateful I am to The Cherry Firm for their exceptional service in handling my case. From the very beginning, Dave demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to my case. Dave was incredibly responsive to all my questions, kept me informed every step of the... way, and made sure I understood the legal process. Thanks to Dave’s hard work, my case was resolved successfully, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I felt truly supported and confident with him by my side. I highly recommend using The Cherry Firm!

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.
