Successfull Auto Accident Case

Dave Weissman provided us excellent representation for our auto accident. He thoroughly explained the process to us at the beginning and kept us informed every step of the way through to the settlement. We received an excellent result and cannot thank him enough. We highly recommend Dave.

Social Security Disability

After I failed to be approved for S S Disability,a friend said he had success with Atty. David Weissman. I called David Weissman and explained my particular situation. David was very patient and answered all my questions,then added that he could help me. He guided me step by step when I reapplied... for S S Disability. With his guidance I received Disability in full.Thank You! for a job well done!

Car accident

David from the beginning helped me understand the process of the lawsuit. He told me what I needed to do on my part and he will take care of everything else from the insurance companies, behind the scenes things that I was not able to do. He checked on me through out the time I was with him. He encou...rage me to get second opinion's on matters that needed it also. Not one time during the process was I uneasy with me. He is very friendly, professional and treats you like a human being and not a paycheck. He cares about you and your well being. Of you do what he tell you do for your part then yoy will be very pleased eith the results. When we got it the end of it all he was there to answer any questions I had regarding the settlement and he was always answered back timely. I would recommend him to anybody no matter small the accident is he will guide you and tell you straight forward what will go on through your case. I was nervous at first meeting with a lawyer but he made it feel so comfortable. I and talk to others on the phone and didnt go with them cause they didnt take the time to listen to me and my concerns. David is the best and you will always feel like you are on his mind nothing less than outstanding professional behavior from David. That is David for always helping me out through this process.

We sued Cheatham Co. and won

I am the parent of Jordan, the young man who was tased more than 40 times by the Cheatham Co. Sheriff’s Dept. We contacted David Weissman and Benjamin Raybin to discuss suing the sheriff’s dept. I had previously contacted 4 other firms and had been turned down. Mr. Weissman saw the photo evidence of... Jordan’s tasing burns and immediately scheduled a consultation with us. Several months and several meetings later, we have settled this suit, very much to our liking. Throughout this experience, Mr. Weissman worked diligently and professionally, with the highest standards, keeping us informed and answering every single question or concern. We never felt left out, or wondered what was going on. The intelligence and expertise shown by Mr. Weissman makes him a very desirable attorney for any civil or injury need. Jordan and I now feel like he is a friend to us, as well as an attorney. I highly recommend him. You will have to search long and hard to find anyone better.

The best

Mr. Weissman came to my house, personally, following my car accident and handled all aspects of the case himself, without having to go thru a paralegal at any point. I initially interviewed him because of his credentials I saw online but selected him after talking with him about his willingness to go... to court, if needed, and not just settle the case. Also he assured me he would be reachable when needed which he always was. That is saying a lot. He was friendly and confident and always repeated any information I didn't understand with a good attitude. He always showed empathy for the suffering I went through and he kept me clearly informed each step of the way on my case. I could in no way have been able to represent my own legal interests without a good lawyer like Mr. Weissman and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Avvo Rating

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.
