David Brian Sacks

I hired Mr Sacks back in 2016 to represent me in a lawsuit against my former employer. If I could go back in time and do it all over again would I hire Mr Sacks? Absolutely not. The first time I spoke with Mr Sacks over the phone I obviously did not answer his question properly. About 2 minutes into ...the conversation when he asked me a question and I answered it he immediately started yelling at me. He told me that a judge and jury would never accept my answer. This struck me as very odd. I had been talking with Mr Sacks for the very first time for a total of maybe 2 minutes and already he was yelling at me as if I were supposed to know exactly what to say, what to do and how to act ? Wow. I will not tell you what you want to hear about Mr Sacks. I will tell you what you NEED to hear about Mr Sacks. I firmly believe that Mr Sacks had determined the outcome of my case long before the final day of mediation. Many of my questions went unanswered and Mr Sacks would simply say to me "trust me". BIG MISTAKE on my part when I did. The final day of mediation is when I realized that I was intentionally left in the dark by Mr Sacks as far as certain specific details of my case were concerned. The mediator was shocked at certain things that did or did not occur during the entire process and duration of my case. So was I. I feel as if the primary objective of Mr Sacks is to keep his client in the dark and to reveal as little information about important details of the case as possible. This will keep his client uninformed to a certain extent and will also allow Mr Sacks to have full control of the outcome of the case. Not to mention, this will also allow him to do so with little or no resistance from his client at all. If Mr Sacks sends his client to a gun fight armed with a butter knife then usually his client will be backed into a corner and forced to submit with little or no resistance at all. I also feel as if this was not Mr Sacks' first rodeo. The day before mediation Mr Sacks refused to answer specific and very important questions of mine as far as how mediation would actually take place and totally blew me off. Mr Sacks told me that " he had many other clients to deal with that day and would just see me in the morning at mediation." Unbelievable !! It seemed as if both Mr Sacks and opposing counsel were doing nothing more than trying to put on a show for everyone the entire time. Many times during depositions Mr Sacks would try to appear to be angry and would get loud and raise his voice at the opposing attorney that represented my former employer. It also seemed as if opposing counsel would "object to form" or object to many other irrelevant aspects of a question simply to disrupt the flow of the questioning that took place during depositions. As far as I was concerned it was nothing more than "posturing on steroids" that was mixed with nonstop blathering by opposing counsel with the objections that were being made every 20 seconds. Sometimes I felt as if I were watching a low budget reality tv show. It was ridiculous at times as far I was concerned and also a very weak attempt to mislead clients that were involved in the case as well as the mediator. The mediator also seemed to be aggravated with certain aspects of the case along with pertinent details that were conveniently left out or not addressed at all. I learned much more about my case from the mediator during the few unnecessary hours spent during mediation than I did the entire time I spent with Mr Sacks on my case. As I mentioned before, I feel as if the final outcome of my case had been decided behind closed doors and long before mediation even took place. During mediation is when I realized what might have actually taken place the entire time and also determined the final outcome of my case, or left me with an ultimatum as far as I was concerned. Due diligence is golden. Food for thought. John from Jacksonville, Fl

Mr. Sacks allowed me to call him at no cost to initially review my situation. I needed someone to be honest with me from the get go as to whether or not my situation was illegal or just plain bad business practice. That's exactly what he did. He was very knowledge and not pretentious at all and to...ld me exactly what I needed to hear. I appreciate the time he gave me and I more importantly appreciate his honesty. Many thanks!
