The case was satisfactorily resolved

I retained David Van Sant to represent me involving litigation of a personal injury accident and loss of vehicle. This incident resulted from an intoxicated driver running a red light and crashing into the right side passenger door of my car completely destroying the vehicle.

He is the best

David Van Sant is an exceptional lawyer. Never having gone through any kind of legal action before, it was certainly daunting, but from the beginning, David guided me through the process in a most professional manner. David's communication skills are impeccable, he has always answered my questions or... concerns, in a clear and concise way, without sugar-coating or excessive legal jargon, which I appreciated. Without David's representation, I don't believe I would have received the compensation that I ultimately did. There is no question that he is extremely knowledgeable, and indeed an asset to his profession. I would have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone who has suffered a personal injury, and requires legal representation

I am pleased with the case settlement

I simply wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the overall care and expertise you exhibited in bringing my case to its conclusion. Specifically, I am most grateful for the way you continually kept me informed of the case progress. Moreover, my gratitude extends to your handling of the othe...r practitioners that were involved, such as the doctors and court officials. Then too, I am pleased with the case settlement and other aspects of it. Again, I offer my sincerest thanks and wish you the very best in all your pursuits.

I can't thank you enough

I can't thank you enough for all the hard work that you have done for me and my family. You have represented me successfully, on two car accidents that I've had, that were not my fault where I sustained serious injuries. I have always been grateful for the fact that you and your staff have cared ...about my physical, mental and emotional health first. The specialists that you have sent me to were all competent physicians who did everything in their power to take care of my problems, rather than just taking care of the symptoms. The financial compensation that I received for my injuries, were just and fair. I recently was rear ended in an automobile accident and I have reinjured my neck and back and once again retained you as my attorney. I have never had to worry about a thing, because you and your staff always took care of everything. As the result of your amazing work, I was comfortable with referring my now 76 year old mother to your firm, after she broke her leg in a restaurant. She received excellent medical care as well as her financial compensation. I know that you fought for her rights and I can't thank you enough. Lastly, my older brother (who is a tax attorney) retained your services too, after listening to both my mother's and my recommendation regarding you David, and your firm. He was injured severely by a driver who hit him and literally abandoned his car, and physically ran away. He has been so impressed with the medical personnel that you referred to him and he is getting better slowly. His case is still pending. I first retained you about 12 years ago, and since then I know that I have referred at least 10 - 20 other people to you, who have all retained your services based on my recommendation. I have always been thanked by every person for that, and I have never heard any complaint about your work, and the results from that work. I want to thank you and your staff from the bottom of my heart.
