This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY SERVICES

David is immediately responsive and knows the laws and legal options within the DMV very well. He outlines legal options based on the facts to clients clearly in easily understood language and provides hands on assistance from consultation thru the settlement of a case. I was extremely pleased with a...n out of court settlement that he arranged through back and forth tough negotiations for the best possible outcome for me as his client.

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.
