Great Lawyer!

I was given David Cline's number for an auto accident through a family friend (who highly recommended him). From the first moment that I spoke with, I knew that I wanted him to represent me for my auto claim. He is extremely knowledgeable in what he does! Once I hired him, he never gave me any pro...blems with answering questions, calls, emails or anything at all. He was able to get everything that I needed done accurately and in a timely manner. He handled my auto case in its entirety. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of an auto accident / injury lawyer!

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.
