David W. Marquis. Car accident resulting in all my disc protruding in my back

David has been a great Attorney ! Considering the pandemic is at its worse right now. He is very knowledgeable , from what I’ve seen so far. Whenever I call I’m well instructed on what to do. I’m very happy with his helping me and I’m sure I’m in great hands. Very nice man.

Insurance Bullies

I recently had an issue with my insurance company not wanting to pay an auto claim. It was a complicated case that involved bad faith on the part of the insurance company. Mr. Marquis took the case and we won. His knowledge, experience and professional insight proved to be what I needed. This case ...would not have been resolved, let alone resolved in my favor had it not been for him. Mr. Marquis knows how to play hardball with stubborn insurance companies who think they can bully their customers. I highly recommend Mr. David Marquis for any legal issues you may have. He is a top notch attorney!

Professional Knowledgable Lawyer

David has helped me with several legal issues, most recently a personal injury case resulting from a car accident. He provided excellent advice for me all the way through the process. From immediately after the accident through settlement he and his assistants were very professional in managing the... paperwork, communicating regularly with me and the other parties involved, providing status on milestones achieved, as well as key upcoming events in the case. But most importantly, David took the time to explain to me the steps in the legal process that were occurring in my case in a manner that was very easy to understand. He was very good at listening to my desires and then doing everything possible to meet or exceed my expectations. David’s strong experience was evident as he was very confident and successful in accomplishing what he said he could in settling my case. I was very glad and fortunate that I had David & his team representing me.

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.
