Expert Practitioner

David and his team were highly responsive and knowledgeable with my concerns. After my initial consultation I knew that I chose the right Lawyer/Legal team for my case and it was dismissed at trial one month later.

I wish I could give 0 stars. Don’t believe on the 5stars review without checking the lowest ones?

SE PUDESSE, DARIA 0 ESTRELAS! FUJAM DESSA FIRMA! DO NOT BELIEVE ON THE 5 STARS REVIEW WITHOUT CHECKING THE LOWEST ONES!!! ¡NO CREAS EN LAS REVISIONES DE 5 ESTRELLAS SIN REVISAR LAS DE MENOS ESTRELLAS! Minha experiência com esse escritório de advocacia foi um desastre absoluto. Contratei essa firma e...m maio de 2024, esperando profissionalismo e comprometimento, mas recebi DESCASO, INCOMPETÊNCIA E ERROS INACREDITÁVEIS. Desde o início, cometeram falhas grotescas, como ESCREVER MEU NOME ERRADO, resultando na PERDA DE DOCUMENTOS. Enviaram FORMULÁRIOS ERRADOS E FALTANDO PÁGINAS (de acordo com os correios que recebi do USCIS), o que gerou atrasos e transtornos no meu processo de imigração. Depois de meses de erros, em novembro de 2024, David Breston assumiu o caso após reclamarmos inúmeras vezes da negligência das funcionárias dele. Achávamos que tudo ia dar certo, mas, em vez de resolver os problemas, a firma continuou sendo negligente. Finalmente, esta semana, uma das funcionárias, que já não tinha mais autorização para cuidar do meu caso, fez o DOWNLOAD DE UM DOCUMENTO ERRADO E NO CASO ERRADO TAMBEM, lembrando que isso foi feito SEM A MINHA PERMISSÃO E A DA MINHA ESPOSA PARA RESPONDER JUDICIALMENTE POR MIM. Um erro absurdo e imperdoável, já que não tem como deletar esse documento. E o pior? Quando eu e minha esposa pedimos para corrigirem o erro junto ao USCIS, David Breston simplesmente ignorou nosso pedido, no final, devolveu meu dinheiro com uma carta de abandono do caso, sem sequer consertar o estrago que a própria firma causou, deixando eu e minha esposa sem assistência. Até o último momento, ele negou qualquer erro ou responsabilidade, ignorando completamente as provas e os problemas que ele e sua equipe criaram. Se eu tivesse lido as avaliações de 1 estrela antes, teria evitado essa dor de cabeça. Pesquisem bem antes de confiar seu futuro a essa firma ou qualquer outra! Agora, meu caso está em risco e eu preciso gastar ainda mais tempo e dinheiro com outro advogado para tentar desfazer essa bagunça. Se você se importa com o seu futuro e não quer passar pelo pesadelo que eu passei, FUJA DESSA FIRMA!

Charge reduction which saved my professorial license

David was instrumental in getting my case charge reduced, which resulted in me not losing my professional license. David was persistent in negotiations with prosecution until a reasonable outcome was reached. His communication was always great, as he stayed in contact consistently throughout my case.... I am very thankful that I selected him as my counsel.

Excellent Attorney

Amazing service, I recommend going with David if you are ever in need of an attorney who will fight hard for your case.

Posted by Dylan | September 25, 2024 | Hired Attorney

Very knowledgable and personable attorney

David was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and consulted with me same day. David and his team answered my questions and communicated with me thoroughly. I am extremely satisfied with the results of my case. I would 100% recommend David to anyone who needs legal help.

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.
