This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not JUST a great legal team

From the first phone conversation with Lori, to the first time meeting with David and Jeff, all the way through and to the conclusion of my case, I felt as if these people truly cared about what happened to me. They didn’t just see a potential “case”. They were upset with my situation. They wanted to... help. Through the years that this whole process takes, I have gotten to know them a bit better, and they have gotten to know me. I now consider them less “my legal team”, and more a part of my extended family, whether they realize it, or like it, or not. I so appreciate their kindness, genuine compassion, and “got my back” attitude. I hope you are never in a situation to need these folks, but if you ever are, I highly recommend talking to them and seeing if it’s a right fit for all.

Joel, Thank you for your very nice review. We greatly appreciate it. It was an honor to represent you and it goes without saying that after the long battle we had not only with the defendants' lawyers, but with the trial and appellate courts, during the case, you are definitely part of our family! We are always here for you or your family if you ever need us for anything. Thank you again.

Great and caring to speak too

David was nice and caring to speak too! He was a very good listener and I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend him.

The greatest decision you'll ever make!

My family and I have been working with David for over a year and throughout this stressful time his level of professionalism, knowledge and patience has left us with ease and confidence that we hired the right person for the job.

Posted by Bill | January 12, 2015

Credibility you count on

Most top flight attorneys have similar skill sets so honesty and responsiveness are additional traits that are important to me. David's credibility, caring and personal attention gives one excellent legal representation in the hands of a friend.

Posted by Lance | January 7, 2015

Extremely Competent

My experience was exceptional. He kept me well informed throughout the entire process without me having to continually try to ask. The outcome was also exceptional!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
