Dog Bite

David Zagoria was very trusting thru the whole process, he answered any questions I had, made sure to keep me updated through the whole process. He’s very good at what he does, I’m glad I chose him to be my lawyer thru everything!

Animal Dog Bite Case

If your desiring Trust, Honesty, Efficiency, Knowledge & RESULTS, then go to David Zagoria! After having my daughters dog bite case passed around between two other lawyers, I finally found attorney Zagoria through AVVO and it was the best decision I could have made. He took my daughters case without ...hesitation or reserve, he was confident in his abilities as an attorney and his experience and he accomplished in 7 months what the other two attorney's couldn't do in two years! and the end result was a favorable compensation for a hellish experience my daughter endured! Thank You David for being the BEST and a gracious stand up guy!

A lawyer who makes your life easier - works with people who don't have time to deal with the issue

David was referred to us by a friend due to the great job he was doing for them. He met and exceeded our expectations. I did not have time to meet him in person. He worked with me by phone to deal with an inconvenient personal injury case. He dealt with the rude insurance company at fault for us and ...also he went out of his way and even came to my office to deal with necessary paperwork. Responsive to calls and kept us informed. He is a perfect lawyer for someone who has to deal with a lawsuit but needs someone to go the extra mile so as to avoid the time and resources to address what is needed without interfering with your own busy schedule. Thanks David Zagoria for making my life easier taking care of all the things I did not have time to deal with and winning a case for us without having to make it go to trial. Awesome attorney. I definitely would use him again if needed in the future.

Auto Accident

Mr. Zagoria handled my case quickly and efficiently. Everything he said would happen.. happened on time. A driver ran a red light causing me to crash into the side of their car. I don't think the entire settlement process took Mr. Zagoria more than a couple weeks after medical treatments were comp...leted - Certainly a 5 Star review from this client. Regards, Hampton

"David is a knowledgeable, hard working and conscientious criminal defense attorney, whose vast knowledge of the criminal process is based on years serving as an Assistant District Attorney, Assistant Solicitor General and practicing criminal defense for the past several years. He is not the type of attorney who will simply tell a client what he or she wants to hear, and he will zealously and ethically represent his clients to achieve the best possible outcome in every situation. I have referred several people to David for representation concerning criminal matters, and I will continue to do so."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
