Protected by the Law

David Lumber worked on several cases for me invloving business transactions with my partners. He was able to objectively sort through very intricate docmentation and use the important evidence to protect my interests. As I was somewhat unorganized, his job was made more difficult. Over five years ...David fought hard and prevailed in all the important hearngs. One particularly challenging argument was before the appeals court. David was again successful and that case argument is now published. At the moment, most of my cases are settled and I am very impressed with his professionalism. David's legal performance has made a tremendous difference in my life, and more importantly, my family's lives.

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.
