Would not recommend for Criminal Defense

David refused to negotiate lesser chargers with prosecutor. He would say things that could possible help in my case then he would contradict them. He seldom kept note of specific information that could have been very helpful during the defense, leaving me to remind him of every thing he should of sai...d. With the substantial amount of years licensed, I would have thought his defense approach would have been very direct and reasonable. This guy is too laid back for a defense attorney, maybe perfect for insurance, marriage or child support.

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.
