This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Gifted, Caring and Invested! Priceless.

David has helped our family for years with our daughter and her disability. David has taken the time to speak with specialists, he has invested more time in getting to know our daughter and our family than any attorney we have ever dealt with. David is irreplaceable, and one of the most caring attorn...eys we have ever worked with. If he doesn’t know an answer or something about a topic firsthand you can bet he will make it his priority to do so. Anyone that hires David can be reassured he has nothing but the best intentions and growth for your child in his heart and mind. Words truly cannot describe the investment you make when you hire David to advocate for your child and your family.

Professional, Caring, and Trustworthy one of the Best!

David Roston has worked for us and helped us in many aspects. David has always been extremely ethical, honest and gives every individual the benefit of the doubt. Our family could not have come across a nicer, kinder or more thoughtful attorney within his field of practice. David Roston always puts t...he child first in his area of expertise.

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.
