Medical Malpractice 60%

Most of my practice consists of genital injury cases, including botched circumcision/circumcision damage, wrongful circumcision, wrongful forcible retraction of the infant/child foreskin, and the like. I have appeared pro hac vice in numerous state and federal courts. In addition to genital injury cases I have handled or am handling a wide range of matters from wrongful diagnosis in the emergency room to negligently performed dental procedures.

He is thoughtful and knows how to solve a problem!

I like to share my experience with David. I am not a native English speaker, but David listens very carefully with patience. He listens, analyzes, focuses on how to solve a problem, and how all processes will be. David explained to me how much fees are, and what might be a settlement, and award. I ho...pe this review will help someone who is looking for a great law partner to solve the problem. Good luck! Ike Chi

Humble and honest

I spoke to david on 12/4/2019 about a med malpractice case and hes a good guy. Humble, knowledgeable, honest and compassionate, all words that describe him. He didnt ask me for anything during our 1 hour and 30 min conversation and he went out of his way to help me. Cant say that about a lot of peopl...e, much less lawyers. Thanks david

Advice when I needed it

David reached out to me, when I had concerns for my sons health and possible circumcision. I posted this in a popular FB group. He gave me so many reading sources and he personally went out of his way to help me find doctors who are pro circumcision. I just had an appt with that doctor and we are so ...thankful. I would have never been able to find this dr on my own. He is so knowledgeable and helpful.

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.
