Excellent Employment Lawyer
David is an expert in employment discrimination law. Moreover he knows how to strategically plan an offense as a Plaintiff. It certainly was a wise move on my part to have David represent me at the EEOC during mediation. He was able to get me a settlement against a very tough adversary. I would recommend David without hesitation!

Discrimination Suit
David takes a personal interest in the case and the client. He has superb knowledge of discrimination and labor laws. I have and will continue to refer friends and coleagues to him. David Cashdan is without a doubt one of, if not the best attorneys in the Washington Metropolitian area. JWB. Richardson Former Client

Paid particular attention to details which got me a better deal
David was super responsive and strategic in his approach to my particular situation which I felt served me well. I felt like he went the extra mile for me and always had my best interests in mind which I have not always felt with some attorneys with which I have dealt. I appreciated very much his direct no nonsense style and way of talking about strategy. I would highly recommend David and I have worked with many lawyers.

Washington's GO-TO Lawyer for Severance Agreements
David Cashdan is the go to lawyer for Washington employees. He has negotiated excellent severance packages for me and many colleagues and friends in trade associations, government and DC corporate offices. He has consistently provided excellent results even in contentious circumstances with employers, who were often willing to negotiate a severance with the understanding that there could be litigation. I've recommended him enthusiastically for over 20 years.
