Heaven Sent Attorney

This was the first time in life my family and I have ever needed an attorney. We did not know what to expect, but please listen...we did not expect this type of exceptional customer service and passion for the law. Mr. Dave Maxfield was so knowledgeable about our type of case. His dedication to get ...a victory was present from the first time we spoke on the phone, during the case, and even when it was successfully resolved. He won the case and I can honestly say he is heaven sent. In today's time, I don't expect others to sustain a great work ethic and to honestly care about people. I was so wrong. Even if our case was not won, this review would not be different. The ability for an attorney to work on your behalf and you remain worry free is a feeling I would want every person out there to experience. There is an old saying..you get what you pay for. I am a living witness that my money was well spent and I would pay it again! I am not sure how to go about notifying the bar about this type of stellar legal services, but I am going to take the time to find out and do so! Please listen to me, this is the attorney you need on your side! Don't settle for rest, Dave is the absolute best! My mother now only has one phrase, "Call Mr. Maxfield, he is the REAL DEAL!! " She is right and there is no other way to put it! God made nurse practitioners like me to save lives and he made David to rescue clients who are in the middle of a legal crisis. All I can say is thank you Lord! -FOREVER Grateful Client!

A man who truly cares about people

My experience with Mr. Maxfield was amazing from the very beginning. He was very thoughtful and kind. He listened and had a plan of action created in no time at all. Not only did he help resolve the initial issue, he was able to acquire compensation for the actions on the part of the company. I canno...t sing his praises enough. From the first email I sent to him, he has been nothing short of kind, caring and fun to work with. If you have a consumer law issue, do yourself a favor and call Dave Maxfield first. You will be so glad you did.

Great work from Dave Maxfield and his wonderful team!

I came to attorney Dave Maxfield in need of consumer protection help taking on a big and powerful company. He was up for the challenge. He and his team went far beyond my expectations with regard to helping me, and I am completely satisfied with the results. Throughout the process Dave Maxfield and h...is team were thorough and meticulous, demonstrating outstanding expertise in law, especially consumer protection. Dave Maxfield is smart and uncovered things that I would never have found on my own. To top it off, Dave Maxfield is a genuinely nice and honest person who I found to be trustworthy. (I think it is so important to have confidence and trust in your attorney.) It is obvious to me that Dave Maxfield does this work out of a genuine desire to help people who are being taken advantage of by big companies. He fought for me and won, and I am so grateful to him and his team.

Excellent attorney

I contacted Dave Maxfield in regards to a consumer matter I was dealing with that took place in a separate state. Upon my first email I sent in regards to my situation he responded very quickly. And all other communication between the two of us I always received rapid responses. From the beginning he... went above and beyond and after his research he came to find out the better approach would be to contact an attorney from the state where my matter originated. Instead of telling me that and ending all communication he went a step further and found me an attorney from that state that he felt would be the best to represent me. Long story short from initial contact he did everything in his power to help me. I highly recommend that if you have a problem that is with in his area of expertise, do not hesitate and contact him immediately. Dave has proven that he will leave no stone unturned to help anyone in need. I am very greatful for all he has done.
