A real trial lawyer

Dave is a terrific advocate. He took my case to trial when no other lawyer would. And we won! Dave is compassionate and caring. Like me, he also grew up in the inner city as a black man and knows what it’s like to struggle. I highly recommend Dave!

Game Changer

For over 3 years since my incident practically nothing had been done . In steps Mr. David Johnson and things begin to happen. He was very knowledgeable and genuinely cared about me and my case. His frequent calls always kept informed and feeling the case was moving along. I felt like he really wanted... me to feel whole again. Also he had great impathy and compassion for my circumstances. David Johnson is a shining star within his organization. if I have any legal issues in the future I would want him to represent me in a heartbeat.

Honest consideration of my case

I'm writing this review for one of DiPasquale Moore attorneys David Johnson. After calling around Mr. Johnson was one of the few attorneys that I felt truly consider my case, other law offices thought my case was too small to be worth their time or energy. I never got that feeling with David. Dav...id took my case as serious as I did. He was quick to answer any of my questions in calls an emails, I never had to wonder what was happening with my case because he always keep me updated with the status even during the legal procedural stuff. Mr. Johnson also was very good at taking the complicated legal happenings with my case and bringing it to my level of understanding so I was not loss with what was happening, because if this I felt very comfortable with David handling my case and would strongly recommend him and DiPasquale Moore.

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.
