Great Lawyer

I have used David on several occasions for my businesses employees. Always professional and courteous, I and my employees have only had positive interactions and outcomes with David. Would highly recommend this attorney.

Posted by anonymous | May 04, 2015 | Immigration

money hungry and cannot be trusted

This attorney represented us in an immigration case. He misled us intentionally so he can make more money and filed wrong and unnecessary papers to charge money. He wasted our time and money and does not care about clients. He is not to be trusted with any information. Please do not hire him for any...thing.
