He was very experienced and helpful. He took time out of his day to speak to me and answer all of my questions over the phone . He gave me options to my problem resolution and didnt judge me. He gave me the advice i needed to feel more empowered in my current situation.
David was my lawyer. In January 2015, he clarified the separation agreement between me and my former employer. He explained the draft proposed by my former employer, and proposed new languages. As a result, I got more favorable terms. Throughout this process, my family felt more comfortable and secure. David was professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He explained the legal language clearly in plain language to me.
I routinely counsel buinesses and employers on wage and hour issues, hiring practices, and licensing issues. A significant portion of my practice is devoted to defending employers from claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, and claims for re-employment under USERRA.
I represent employers and employees with regard to claims of discrmination, wrongful termination, wage and hour claims, severance agreements, employment agreements and policies, and many other aspects of employment law.
I routinely represent clients during the process of negotiating and drafting various business and employment related agreements. I also represent clients in breach of contract claims.
I represent clients in all aspects of landlord tenant law including residential lease drafting and review, breach of lease, rent escrow actions, eviction proceedings and legal compliance issues for landlords.
This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
