A Fantastic Lawyer!

I met with Dave a few years back for a family law matter. A year later I used him when I sold my house, and 6 months later I used him again to incorporate my new business. Dave was able to clearly explain the answers to all of my questions regardless the area of law. He returned my all of my phone ca...lls, did a great job keeping me informed, and even gave me a few tips that helped me save money in my start up business! I had used a few other attorneys before I met Dave. ALL of them had a higher hourly rate and were less attentive. I couldn’t be happier with his services, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a hardworking, honest attorney!
