Great Attorney

David Sacks is a great attorney! David handled my case that took a few years and handed some of the top corporate attorneys in the industry quite a fight! David is smart and fearless he will not be bullied! I have been involved with illegal termination defense multiple years. David stands up fights a...nd will not be pushed around. You cannot win all of them but the otherside will know they are in a fight when you hire David to defend your rights! You want him on your team!

Due diligence is golden. Food for thought

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

Experience working with David Sacks

I am writing this review to share my experience working with Attorney David Sacks. I reached out to him after filing a charge with EEOC in Miami. EEOC in Miami opened the charge for me but did not respond to me after their initial contact . I tried several times to reach out to them to no avail. Da...vid Sacks went out of his way to meet with me on a Saturday as I am disabled and have to depend on others for transportation. He reviewed all of the information I provided him regarding my situation and took over from there. My situation was resolved with my former employer within weeks to my complete satisfaction. If you want an Attorney that will work with and for you, David Sacks is the person of choice. I have even explained other legal issues that I might have to contend with to see if he could assist. He told me if he could not, he can recommend others that could. I was greatly satisfied with all that he did for me. I would highly recommend him to others in need of his expertise. Sam

Outstanding

After being Injured and fired from my place of work, David was very up front with exactly what to expect when it came to the case and did a good job of relaying information as frequently as needed. He often offered advice but never moved forward at all important junctions without my explicit consent.... David was the first lawyer I have ever hired and was pleased with the overall experience, as I had consulted with others beforehand. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to represent them with integrity and honesty. David also strived to make sure I was taken care of and offered references and contacts to provide all the information I could possibly need, even before I retained his services.

Employment Law

We contacted Mr. Sacks to see if we had an employment law case against our former employer. We were employees that had been treated very, very poorly. Mr. Sacks, at no charge, took the time to explain the Florida laws to me. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. He is so personable, I felt l...ike I could tell him anything. And, to his merit, and even though we have no case, he did not "hustle" off the phone. I am keeping his number! If I ever need him for any law matter, he will be on my speed dial.
