    Review David Sprague

    Personal, professional and thorough.

    Posted by

    David has helped me and my family through multiple challenges in life, my small business, my grandmother's death and even divorce. He's been extremely easy to work with and has made those difficult times seem easier because I know that things will be handled the right way, and always in my favor. I've grown to consider Dave a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my closest inner circle.

    It is my pleasure to endorse David. He is a smart, hardworking and effective business attorney. I am always willing to refer David to potential clients and I would hire David myself if I needed a business lawyer.

    I have known Dave for many years and can attest to that he is well skilled in elder and probate matters. His knowledge is only paralleled by his commitment to his clients. I am proud to know him as a colleague and to be able to call him a friend.
