I met with David to learn about his firm. He strikes me as someone who genuinely cares about his clients and tried to help even the ones who aren't clients. I trust him with my clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had the pleasure of knowing David for many years, meeting as adversaries in a contested probate case involving numerous beneficiaries represented by separate counsel. From my vantage point, I saw David zealously representing clients and their interests while maintaining a realistic approach and professional demeanor with all parties involved. What is more, David was open-minded, always willing to listen to my recommendations for compromise. If David thought an agreement was fair to his client and cut down on estate administration costs (benefiting all beneficiaries, not just his), David would ask his client to consider the compromise, in an effort to keep costs down during the contested estate administration (something many probate attorneys do not always consider). Whether contested or uncontested, I recommend David to anyone looking for a competent and understanding probate attorney.

I whole-heartedly endorse this lawyer!! David is incredibly knowledgeable and diligent. I practice family and immigration law, and he has been a valuable and trustworthy source of advice for many years. He cares about his clients and making sure their affairs are safe and secure.
