If you are looking for an attorney to go to bat for you, look no further. He puts in the time to ensure he makes the strongest case for each of his clients. In addition to the exceptional work he does for his clients, he is a good man with great character.
David helped me get my business entity formed and was incredibly helpful/informative. It was the first time I ever had to form an entity so he was extremely patient with all my questions and made the whole process a breeze. I've opened another entity since then and he took care of it almost immediately. I could not recommend him more!

Great Attorney!
Navid was able to get my Class B misdemeanor reduced to a Class C with only a $50 fine and probation. He worked extremely hard and helped guide me throughout the entire process. I was a pretty nervous since it was my first offense, but Navid was able to explain every step, which made things a lot easier. I highly recommend him!

Small Claims Matter
This lawyer worked on a frivolous lawsuit I got from small claims court. I am a small business owner and someone claimed a rock from one of my trucks caused damage to their vehicle. They filed a case against me and didn't even send the lawsuit to my correct address so I was facing a default judgment. My lawyer figured out the problems and solved them so that I can now have my day in court to fight a bogus claim.
