review

More trustworthy and knowledgeable than any lawyer I have used in the past.

Posted by Marty | August 22, 2012

Understanding and Accoutablility

David has been my business and personal lawyer for over 10 years. From preparing a buy/sell agreement to estate planning. He has always handled everything in a professional manner and acheived my goals. He takes the time to explain in laymen terms what the legal ease really means to the sitiuatio...n, allowing me to make the correct decision.

Velvet Hammer

Mr Puryear was professional, excellent at returning calls and following up with pertinent information. When it came time to negotiate he was soft spoken, and polite but tougher than steel - it felt like a velvet hammer.

Review for David Puryear

There are not enough words to express my complete gratitude for the outstanding services that David Puryear provided. He is a consumate professional and a man of great integrity. I was very impressed with his legal knowlege and tactical skills. I do believe that my case would have had an unfavora...ble outcome and would not have been resolved as quickly as it was if I had not retained David Puryear as my attorney. Mr. Puryear is a class act and second to none.

Recomended

Mr. Puryear was completely professional in every aspect of his service. His specialty is very unique and is absolutely necessary today considering the way employers tend to comport carry themselves.

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.
