Personal Injury

We went to Mr. Dekle with a personal injury case. He was very honest from the start saying personal injury is a very hard case to win. However, he fervently went to work for us. He researched our case, found expert witnesses, and dedicated himself to winning us a judgement . It took over two years ...to settle our case, Mr. Dekle kept us updated and informed all the way through. We feel we were very fortunate to find the honest, dependable, dedicated, hard working attorney we found in Mr. Dekle.

Professional and ethical!!! Got the job done!!!

David and his staff are extremely pleasant to deal with. The process was stress free and he explained things to me step by step. The issue was resolved rather quickly and hopefully some safety processes changed at the place where I fell. It was win- win for everyone which is a great outcome. Than...ks David and staff.

Excellent Lawyer

I was in an accident several years ago. The insurance company was difficult to deal with. David Dekle took my case, and with such integrity, handled everything for me. He gave me great legal advice. We were able to settle out of court to my satisfaction. I would absolutely recommend David Dekle!!

Great Attorney!

My first experience with David Dekle was in 2011. I was immediately impressed with David's level of research into the case law involved and his personal involvement. He didn't hand me off to a paralegal; he was involved personally and fully. David presented the law and our options thoroughly in a way... I understood. He presented our position to the opposing counsel and stood firm. The case was resolved in a settlement very close to what we hoped for. David's integrity, research, hard work, and willingness to stand firm made this case for us. We won our first case and I continue to use David whenever I need legal representation.

Case Success

My husband and I were referred to Mr. Dekle by a friend who is familiar with accident cases. We found him to be courteous, available and knowledgeable to our case specifics. We were very pleased with the outcome and the efforts of Mr. Dekle. He instilled in us a trust that he had our best interests a...nd that was proven upon closure if our case. Excellent attorney who will be consulted again.
