The best!

Dave and his team are truly the best at what they do. I stumbled upon Dave when asking a question on Avvo after I had my identity stolen. Dave was thorough, knowledgeable, communicative, and very honest in terms of what to expect throughout the process—ultimately netting me multiple settlements and... restoring my identity. His staff cannot be outdone anywhere. They were genuinely friendly, consistently available to answer questions, and just generally pleasant all around to work with. The outcomes of my cases more than surpassed my expectations and I’m truly grateful to Dave for his representation as well as Kristy and Janel for their hard work on my case. They often helped just by bringing levity during a very stressful time and I’m so thankful to them.

Above and Beyond!

Although we didn't quite get to David formally representing us, he bent over backwards to assist our family in truly a desperate time. The matter was resolved no short due to his advise to me and I wasn't even a client yet. I thank you David from the bottom of my heart. My mom as well!!

Perfect

Couldn't ask for better service, I was surprised by how easy it was to finally put Reeds in their place who had been driving me crazy for a bill I didn't owe for a year,

Dave has been amazing

I was referred to Dave by the bar association and he has been extremely helpful and punctual. I would recommend Dave any day of the week!

Dave Provided Exceptional Advice and Service

Dave's law firm is small and thus well coordinated. All team members were knowledgeable, professional, and totally dedicated to winning my case and delivering justice in the form of a swift, decisive settlement. I turned over my case to Dave's office and they went to work immediately. Dave prese...nted the indisputable evidence in a compelling demand that resulted in an extremely attractive settlement! During the few months of negotiation, Dave kept me in the loop. He replies promptly to any calls/texts and was a delight to work with. You can hire Dave Maxfield with supreme confidence that you have a powerful advocate fighting for you. I plan to have Dave represent me in any future consumer finance conflict. I often say finding a good attorney is like finding GOLD, Dave Maxfield is a GREAT attorney! I am so pleased with the results that he produced! Thank you, Dave and crew!
