Hero Attorney for our Insurance Claim

Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be... focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

Defranchise case

We hired David to deal with a franchise we were involved with. David was the only lawyer in town that understood the case and what to do. They were trying to charge us a large sum of money. David was able to get us a desired outcome. This would not have been possible without him. Best lawyer we have ...come across that knows what he is doing.

Incredibly detailed, complete service

David helped me with a domestic violence case that was complicated by exaggerated claims from the victim. My desired outcome was a deferred judgement which was not happening as long as the court had reason not to. David used extensive knowledge of procedural motions and the prosecution to gain vict...ory after many months of work. It was costly. But I am convinced I could have paid much more or worse, ended up with a domestic violence conviction permanently on my record.

Breach of insurance contract

I hired Mr. Furtado to obtain my insurance benefits for hail damage sustained by my roof. He was extremely responsive and provided me with amazing service. Best of all he was able to obtain payment of my claim.

Patent case

Mr. Furtado handled my patent infringement case. He was extremely knowledgable and obtained a result I was extremely pleased with. I would recommend him to anyone with a patent issue.
