"David Cashdan is one of the dons of the employment bar in Washington, DC. He is a wonderful, kind, generous and extremely knowledgable employment lawyer."
"David is an extremely experienced lawyer who is exceptionally knowledgeable in the law, in legal strategies, and in seeing clients through to positive results. He has represented clients of many different backgrounds, from low-wage workers to top executives, over the years, with great success. He's a leader in the plaintiffs' employment bar, and also happens to be an extremely nice guy."
"Dave Cashdan is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in obtaining great results for executives and other employees. His diligent and thorough approach is one all lawyers should seek to emulate."
"I know David as both a professional and a friend. He is a paragon in the employment law field, and he is an honorable and charming friend. I will attest that David is someone that younger lawyers look to for guidance and insight. It is on his achievements that my practice proceeds. If you have doubt that David is the right lawyer for you, please do not hesitate to contact me so that I can disabuse you of your concerns. Nick Woodfield"
