Great Attorney

I first dealt with David in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. He helped me again in 2022 with a matter and we were favorable in both outcomes.

THE best attorney!

Attorney David Nance response was very quick. Paper work turn around was same day! He responds to emails and calls right away! This was the best experience I had with an attorney and he got my case settled favorably out of court!

Long History of Quality Legal Representation

Over 5 years ago I worked for an IT company that had a problem of several competitors scraping content and stealing images etc. David helped us to put an end to it and suspend the hosting account. I now work for a large European tech company and anytime we have a legal problem online I turn to David ...Nance to assist us with liable, slander, or any IP Law issues. His knowledge of IP Law has helped us in many ways, but the most valuable was filing a lawsuit against our biggest competitor. This helped to repair our reputation with key industry experts, media, and send a warning to other competitors to follow the rules or we will take legal action. David has always provided us with stellar legal counsel and support. His communication has always been prompt and direct. I have personally worked with him over the last 5 years on a range of different cyber issues and will continue to rely on his legal services for as long as I need IP legal services. David Nance is a lawyer who knows the cyber landscape and can identify risks and violations. IP Law can be difficult for many companies to understand, but having a legal adviser with experience is valuable. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Mr. Nance as our legal counsel and adviser.
