This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best!

From the very beginning, Dave was very thorough in explaining the process and answered all of my questions. I didn’t have to worry about my accident and recovery once I turned everything over to him. This allowed me to concentrate on healing. He was always just a phone call or email away if I needed... anything. I highly recommend him!

Really did me a solid

Dave helped me with a dispute with my insurance company. He was able to get me what was owed to me when the insurance company didn’t want to. I highly recommend Dave!

Will get you what you deserve

Dave represented me for a car accident case I had. He did a great job and got me money for my pain and suffering! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you, Dave!

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.
