Posted by Claude | January 22, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Professionalism and persistence

I entrusted David S. Willig with defending my interests in a lengthy and complex proceeding involving several areas of law (law of obligations, contract law, insolvency proceedings). His professionalism, understanding of the issues, and persistence made it possible to achieve the best possible outcom...e at the conclusion of the proceedings. Moreover, his flawless command of French greatly facilitated the quality and fluidity of communication with a French client like myself. I recommend Mr. Willig for the quality of his services and his professional competence. J’ai confié à David S. Willig la défense de mes intérêts dans une procédure longue et difficile, impliquant plusieurs aspects du droit (droit des obligations, droit des contrats, procédures collectives). Son professionnalisme, sa compréhension des enjeux et son opiniâtreté ont permis d’obtenir le meilleur résultat possible au terme de la procédure. Par ailleurs sa maîtrise parfaite de la langue française a grandement facilité la qualité et la fluidité des échanges avec un client français comme moi. Je recommande M. Willig pour la qualité de ses services et ses compétences professionnelles.

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.
