David W Hotes

Initially David helped me create a template for my standard contracts. He also assisted in drafting and redlining a joint venture proposal. While working together he takes a genuine interest in how things turn out. He is very responsive and met all deadlines. When other legal matters came up he was... able to pull in other counsel to work with us.

I was referred to Dave by another Attorney. My need (s) required a seasoned professional.....someone with comprehensive skills and expertise. Dave more than fit the bill and quickly became a trusted advisor. Since the first consultation to the three (3) or four (4) subsequent hirings, Dave's been ...a consistent voice of reason all while achieving excellent results. If your'e looking for a really smart and dedicated person to watch your back, he's your guy!

I've had the pleasure of working with Dave for coming up on a decade now. Beyond his legal, business, and accounting expertise, Dave is funny, easy-going, diplomatic, and down-to-earth. He's always easy to work with, even when there are time-sensitive needs. Dave is able to explain complicated leg...al situations and documents in a way that is understandable to the non-lawyer, and always takes the necessary time needed to make sure I truly understand. He has a very strong sense of ethics and does not get pushed around by others along the way. His fine negotiation skills are imperative when determining what battles to fight and how to win the overall war. I cannot say enough good things about Dave and strongly recommend him for any of your legal needs. If he cannot help you directly, he knows someone who can due to his extensive network.

I am a CPA in Bethesda, MD. David Hotes and I have worked on a number of matters for common clients. David is thorough in his approach without adding unnecessary complications. David brings significant experience to his relationships with clients. Not only is David knowledgeable with regard to la...w and legal procedures he also has experience working with accounting and financial issues. I am happy to recommend David Hotes to any small business/startup, or more established business without in-house counsel. David has also been a valuable advisor in several tax matters for common clients.
