Under cover

It's possible that he might convict his own client . although the client was guilty as charged, he did not do all he could to protect his client.

Excellent in the court room

David and his team (Hillary and Ellen) recently won a bench trial for our company. A two year dispute ensued when a problematic customer refused to pay for a job we had performed. End result, we got paid and David was able to obtain attorney fees from the defendant, costing us little to nothing to ...collect our money. Look no further, you've found the right attorney.

Arrogant and rude lawyer

This lawyer is the most arrogant and rude human being. He also LOVES TO LIE UNDER OATH. He also expect his over priced pay check! Extremely unprofessional and did not listen to my concerns and did whatever he wanted!

Excellent, hard working, and trustworthy

All around excellent attorney and great guy, would highly recommend for all levels of difficulty in legal challenges (e.g. wills, estate planning, collections, traffic court, DUI, prenuptial, general contracts/agreements, wage garnishment). Grateful to have his fully successful representation in mult...iple diverse instances. Thanks David!

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.
