Positive Experience

I was very happy with Dave when he represented me in court for my BUI charge. Dave was responsive, attentive, and navigated a case that wasn't very straight forward as it relates to the law. The only area for improvement would have been the knowledge base around BUI laws specifically in Multnomah C...ounty, but I'm not sure many lawyers would have that.

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.
