David Pratt

I hired David Pratt and his firm, Proskauer, for asset protection strategies for my portfolio. I was deeply disappointed in his work. Time has passed and I have become more forgiving because money is not everything but I don't want anyone else to fall into this trap. In asset protection I was trying ...to protect what I had already earned. It's a different kind of law, not necessarily involving litigation or defense. I simply wanted to keep what I owned and to pass it to my family when deceased. Pratt made unnecessary mistakes that exposed me to unexpected tax burdens. He created opaque entities and then removed me, the owner, and put himself in authority over those entities, which gave me great anxiety. and distracted his focus. He became difficult to communicate with, hard to get in touch with, and adversarial when I did get in touch with him. I paid all his bills, which were heavy and added an even greater diminishment to my portfolio.
