Responsive and adaptable

David was extremely personable and easy to talk to. He and his team were easily accessible and responsive to any inquiries about my case. From the first time talking to him, I felt confident that he knew the proper route to take and he communicated this accordingly. I appreciated his willingness to k...eep fighting for the result I wanted. I felt I was in competent hands from him and each level of his staff. He seems like a person who truly cares about his clients.

CREDIT REBUILD

I have old medical bills on my credit report but they have no account numbers and other information that I don’t know of. How do I dispute them out of my credit? My fiancée has stuff on his credit report from 2020 but we can’t get them removed not until we came across PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST the a...nonymous hacker from a blog who bypass into the 3 credit bureaus and clear off both student loan including negative report on time payment and more before he increased my credit screw up to 800+ within a week. Contact PINNACLE ASAP        for more about credit issues and more on his email: [email protected] or +1 (323) 406-1225.

10 Stars!

If I could give David and his team a million stars I would! Not only were they immediately responsive, they were able to have all my citations dismissed just as fast. I will definitely be sharing his name with all my friends.

Great experience!

David helped tremendously with my recent speeding ticket. We spoke over the phone for just a few minutes and everything was handled from there in a matter of a couple of weeks. I received constant updates from his office through both text messages and emails. This was an extremely easy and stress fre...e experience and I am so thankful!

Relationship: Friend

"I'm going to tell you something about David. I have known this man since the first day of law school. I immediately sensed the favor of God on his life from the first minute in David's presence, and one of my greatest regrets of law school was not investing more time in being his friend, even though we were friends. During the three years I was in school with him, I never saw him do anything unfair, unkind, or inconsistent with everything a legal professional ought to be. God forbid that anybody in my family should need a defense lawyer, but if David represented that person I would not worry about the quality of legal counsel David was providing."

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.
