Excellent Experience - Highly Recommended

David has a powerful gift of empathizing with people who need his services. I remember how bewildered, and even afraid I was at the beginning of the lawsuit. The confidence he had in defending us, and the diligence with which he advocated our innocence was truly amazing. His actions helped me to slee...p at night, and allowed me to stay focused on my life.

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.
