No communication

He is not good at communication for potential clients. I emailed him 4 days ago told him I was ready to start working on a divorce and he still has not messaged me back. I have consulted someone else. Not a good way to try get new clients. Communication is everything

Adoption: A Celebration

David went above and beyond making our daughter’s adoption experience wonderful. He was quick to answer any and all questions we had. The whole process was quick, and special. We remember when David said upon consultation , “This is a celebration”. We knew then he was the perfect lawyer for us. Thank... you David for all you did for our family! Forever grateful.

Best Real Estate Agent

Dave Otten went above and beyond helping me sell my house. We ran into a few issues during the process, but he was extremely helpful every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He even took care of things for me while I was out of the country! He was very patient with me and help...ed me navigate the entire process as a first-time seller. I would 100% recommend Dave to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

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.
