David M. Fahrenkamp

The other reviews indicating the poor communication are 100% accurate. Not only is the communication bad, but also noted in the other reviews he will drag the case out for years and run the cost up with no refund. I would not recommend using him, you will not get the time given to you that is needed ...with the work load he has taken on and he will admit to that after you pay your retainer. I am in a worse position now then when I hired him over 3 years

Dave has been a disappointment from day one. He frequently would tell me to "call his girls" for an appointment", but when I did, I could never get in to see him. I was always in the dark and his staff never knew his schedule like they should (nor my status). I asked numerous times to see him prio...r to a court date, and could not get in. In court, he was very unprepared, uninterested and would rather "wing it". Extremely frustrating to say the least. Did not care about my case.

Like other reviewers I felt as though he was working for the other attorney who his staff often referred to by first name. I had no idea if he would show up until he stepped into the courtroom, late in all cases and since he took no time to understand my case, he simply filed for continuance again an...d again. I never even saw a judge and paid him several thousand dollars.

Dave is a straight shooter who gave me good advice, told me what I needed to know (even if I didn't want to hear it) and was VERY effective. He responded to me very quickly and was very accessible. It is funny but I was referred to him by the opposing party in another case who said that he wished h...e had hired him. My case was settled but I wish that I could have seen him in court. I have heard from other lawyers that he is the best around and that he teaches other lawyers how to do trials.
