Best in the business

I was recommended to David Tompkins by a friend who also had a great expierience with Mr.Tompkins. I was involved in an auto accident in which my previous attorney was not very forth coming with information. Including the fact that no one in his firm was licensed in the jurisdiction to handle my case.... On top of that they tried to force me to settle. When I went to Mr. Tompkins he assured me that my case would be handled properly and he was very up front with all procedures so that I didn't feel blindsided. Overall I had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend David Tompkins for ALL legal matters

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"One of the most important qualities to look for in a lawyer is thoughtfulness ~ caring about the quality of the work, about the process and time and manner in which any matter is handled ~ and then actually doing the work toward achieving a successful outcome for the client. David gives that thoughtful attention to these matters, to the practice of law, and excels in applying resources to accomplish objectives. He is a credit to the legal community and all we serve."

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.
