Thorough, knowledgeable and personable

David Causey was fantastic. He’s thorough, knows his stuff and a nice guy too. It was an efficient, painless experience and I highly recommended him for wills, estates, power of attorney , etc.

Excellent advice & service

Mr. Causey recently wrote a new will for my wife and myself. His advice was thorough, he avoided legalese, listened carefully to our questions and answered each one to our satisfaction. We heartily recommend him as a smart and efficient (and friendly!) lawyer.

Guidance during one of Life's experiences

We have worked closely with David on two different occasions. After my Father's passing, David provided guidance and direction through the entire estate process, something I had zero experience dealing with. David's compassion and knowledge surpassed our expectations. We immediately decided we wan...ted David to help with our own estate planning. Again, David was extremely helpful. He recommended the things we needed at this point in our lives, and directed us away from things that were not necessarily beneficial to our situation. Thanks again David for all your help!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
