I wish zero stars was an option

David has very poor time management skills and constantly wastes time.. it's a shame he takes more pride in having a jelly donut drip on his shirt than completing that task at hand. He has constantly pushed back the date for closing and has delayed the entire selling process. Unfortunately it's out m...y control and now I'm just left here to wait til he gets motivated enough to complete his job. If the contract smelled like French fries I'm willing to bet it would get done quicker

real estate lawyer

Dave does all my family's real estate cases. He is very competent and prompt. Never misses a trick. One case, he found me $1000.00 that the title company missed.

There when we needed him most

On October 14, 2015 my Father was gravely injured when his home caught on fire. On October 25, 2015 Dad died of the thermal injuries that he sustained in that fire. Dad's wish was for me to have Power of Attorney and to be his Personal Representative. I was in shock and did not have a clue about wha...t steps I needed to take moving forward. Two days after the fire I met David Cifelli. He walked with me through the most difficult period in my life. Step by step, he explained my role and responsibilities, as well as my authority. He carefully handled all of the legal issues so that I could do what I needed to do for my family. My Dad's estate was complicated--with property in two states and a number of heirs but David managed everything in a very professional manner.

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.
