"I first met David in the midst of an extremely emotional and controversial case in which he emerged as the sole rational and reasonable voice on the the opposing side that led to a resolution of what everyone thought was an intractable case. I would not hesitate to hire him as a business litigator or as a mediator and I endorse this lawyer without reservation."

"David Gottfried is my "Go To" lawyer when I have a client who is involved in starting a business or when the client's business needs a smart and tenacious litigator to handle whatever needs to be handled. And David is not only tough, he's a nice guy, a family man, and very well-respected by the Judges in our community."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the privilege of working with David Gottfried on several matters in recent years and have had the opportunity to watch him in action as a counselor, strategist, and trial lawyer. David offers his clients very practical, no-nonsense advice about how to resolve their legal disputes and, if a resolution out of court is not possible, he is prepared to go to the mat for them through trial. David is a very effective advocate and is well respected by his peers and the judges who hear his cases. I highly recommend him."

"I have served as co-counsel with David and I frequently refer cases to him. Frankly, I can't say enough good things about him. He does a great job of helping clients understand both the practical and legal aspects of their situation, and he always begins by looking for creative and practical solutions before turning to more expensive legal options. In the courtroom, David is skillful and effective. I've even seen a judge compliment David from the bench and instruct opposing counsel that David "is one of the good lawyers." Highly recommend."

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Mr. Gottfried through a contentious issue that ended after multi-day mediation. He was cool, calm, and several steps ahead of the game the entire time. He was able to consult with the mediator as a fellow mediator and explain why his position was both fair and strategic in a way that enabled the mediator to further the matter effectively."

Colten Smith

Litigation lawyer | Oct 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly endorse David. I first worked on a lawsuit with David more than 10 years ago. By working with David on a highly complex lawsuit, I learned what a diligent and highly skilled trial attorney he was. Since that time, I have consulted with and for David on numerous lawsuits and legal issues. The most telling endorsement is that I would with happily refer my friends, family, and clients to David. He is one of the truly good trial attorneys."

Brian Walters

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David is more than just a highly skilled litigator and mediator. He has a gift for breaking down highly complex fact patterns and communicating them in an understandable fashion. He is a very tough fighter when fighting is necessary. At the same time, he has the experience to know when a fight is warranted and when other paths should be explored. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Gottfried over several years on a number of different matters. I highly recommend and endorse him."

Brian Macleod

Litigation lawyer | Oct 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with David both as opposing counsel and as counsel with a similar (though not aligned) position. He is thorough, knowledgable, quick, and ethical. He is one of the best lawyers I have ever tried a case with. Both cases I had with David were administrative contested case hearings on water utility rates."

"I have known David Gottfried as a fellow attorney since 1998. I have worked in collaboration on cases with David and have referred many clients to him. David is a fantastic attorney for cases in Fraud, Civil Disputes, Real Estate, Construction, Business and Mediation. Every client I have referred to David have told me that he exceeded their expectations. David is also a friend and very well received by the courts in Travis County. I highly recommend David Gottfried's services to any who have a legal matter."
