Case Apathy

I hired and paid Mr Strauss to handle a matter that he claimed to be well versed on how to remedy. Once he got the retainer, he was much harder to reach, and come to find out, the motion he filed to fix the issue was premature. HE DID NOT EVEN KNOW THAT HE COULD NOT PROCEED WITH OUR COURSE OF ACTION ...BECAUSE THE CASE SEQUENCE HAD NOT ADVANCED FAR ENOUGH FOR US TO DO SO. When questioned on it, he became agitated and refused to accept fault in the matter.

Referral

It all started friendly, when Mr. strauss was referred to me through a networking group BNI. We met and discussed my companies process serving rates and how he would utilize our services. Strauss and his one man show, used our company a few times, rushed us around to serve legal documents and then cl...aimed his was dissatisfied with our services and denied to pay. Couple years later, after multiple emails and phone calls to solve the problem have been ignored and brushed off. We have yet to be compensated. If he treats Local small businesses this way, beware how he handles your case.

Consumer Protection Case

Strauss was retained, cashed my check and it took him several weeks to appear in the case only after being reminded. He then scheduled 3 depositions, forgot about 1 and canceled 2 on the day they were scheduled. He never got the previously obtained discovery information. He was ultimately discharged ...from the case. I did not find him to be very competent much less interested in the case after he cashed the retainer check.

Awesome service

David worked up a lease contract for some property I owned. Super fast and affordable service. Highly recommended!

Best legal experience of my life

I really don’t know where to start. I retained David for a hopeless situation. He was honest, reasonable and compassionate, professional and made me feel like he cared more about my situation than anything else. We won my case. Then he went on to help several of my friends winning all of theirs. ... If any of you have ever watched Boston Legal or another TV show like that and said man I wish there were really lawyers like this in real life, this is your man. I can not more strongly recommend this man. God bless you and your family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
