This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

We would highly recommend David!

David worked extremely hard for our case and we were very pleased with the outcome. He is very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. He answered all of our questions and made us feel at ease during the long process. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent us in our case. ... We highly recommend David for an injury attorney.

Honest-respectful-efficient

Mr. Mcginley will walk you through a difficult process in a manner that makes you feel like you've known him for years. Makes a difficult process seem manageble. Could not recommend him enough.

A life-changing settlement

David was my attorney in a personal injury case that involved three surgeries, short term disability leave and months of physical therapy. He told me my case was rare - the insurance company offered to settle even before actually filing suit. David got me a settlement that was $75,000 over the initi...al offer. And maybe more unbelievably, he spent less that $800 in expenses. Our business was conducted quickly and efficiently by phone, fax and text. The first time I ever met him in person was when he delivered my settlement check to me. I would definitely recommend David as a personal injury attorney.

Perfect

I was involved in a traffic accident. David was very compassionate, respectful, and knowledgable when I requested his help. The process was extremely easy for me as David simply let me know what was going on with negotiations between insurance companies and was always very timely with his communica...tions. I was pleasantly surprised with the settlement he achieved. He was perfect! Thanks!

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ATTORNEY

I would advise that you keep an eye on your bill and check to insure that what he tells you is accurate. Not all attorneys are equally skilled! This attorney totally undermined my faith of the legal system. Terrible experience.

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.
