Never Appeared In Court

Never showed up in court, we found this out when the judge sent a letter to us saying that we were not represented in the hearing. Sadly the opposing party was then granted their bankruptcy. I reached out to David, he said that it wasnt final and he was filing a motion. That was 5 months ago, nothing... was ever filed and he has not returned our texts, calls or emails.

Mark for David Nathan Finkelstein

David was my lawyer for a property deal in Florida. I found him to be very dillagent in protecting our interest, in a very complicated deal. I would highly reccommend him for any proffesional service.

David Finkelstein is a Fabulous Attorney

David helped my husband and I purchase an out of state home in Sarasota, Florida. It was a complicated deal and he navigated many obstacles, keeping us informed every step of the way. David is also a CPA and a real estate agent so he was able to handle every single problem on our behalf and was alwa...ys totally on target with solutions that were realistic and correct. We've worked with lawyers in many states and David's open style, great sense of humor and amazing intellect makes him, in our opinion, one of the best attorneys in the US.

The lawyer did a very good job

Mr. Finkelstein defended my foreclosure and got my loan modified. I was able to stay in my house. He also handled a name change for me. I would trust him with any case. He did a really good job.

Excellent advise and service

Mr. Finkelstein reviewed a contract of partnership in the subject of Real Estate and Construction investment. His good listening skills and approachable personality helped him to complete a review and analysis that was right on point. All of the above allowed him to come up with creative adjustment...s to what was a one sided agreement. The adjustments suggested were fair as to be acceptable by both parties. The deal was completed thanks to Mr. Finkelstein;s expert advice.
