This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional Service with a focus on Client Satisfaction

Mr. Onstott assisted me with negotiations over local real estate dispute. He made himself readily available to respond to any concerns or questions I had. Alex was helpful in explaining everything clearly and concisely. He also was a staunch advocate for our interests and was able to efficiently a...nd effectively obtain a resolution that was satisfactory for all parties. I highly recommend Mr. Onstott and his firm for your legal needs.

What I like most about working with Alex is his attention to detail. Being in a position to need an attorney can leave you feeling vulnerable and uncertain, but alex takes the time to explore each option and make sure he’s guiding you in the right direction.

Relationship: Co-worker

"David and I have been working together throughout our legal careers, beginning with our first semester of law school. Over the years, I've come to have absolute trust in his ability as an attorney and litigator. I can honestly say that even if we weren't business partners, David would be my first call if I was in need of an attorney. He is also the first person I point my friends and family to if I am unable to assist them with their legal needs."
