Excellent Lawyer!

David is a rare find when looking for a lawyer- he is concise, efficient, friendly and is able to work with you regardless of any knowledge gaps. He is the first lawyer I have met that genuinely cares about the best outcome for his clients who is willing to explain everything you need to know in ...a way you'd understand. My only issue is that I wish he was specialized in more types of law so that we can hire him as our lawyer for everything!!

Super Lawyer!

I've worked with Dave Ross since 2008 and there never will be another Attorney whose counsel I will seek regarding any business matter. He is honest and has a lot of integrity. Dave's super intelligent and a passionate litigator. When he's defending you, you genuinely feel protected, because it is ev...ident that he genuinely cares.

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.
