Excellent construction litigation Attorney - Highly Recommended

I have been working with David for over 2 years on a complex litigation case involviong our business. David is an excellent construction litigation attorney. I'm very pleased with his services that he recently provided to us. David is very detailed and highly knowledgeable of the facts and the legal ...issues at hand. Dave works well with all expert witnesses and has a great strategic insight for steering a case. Dave's firm kept me informed as to the developments of the case and spent whatever time I needed to fully understand the issues of our particular case. He has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I found Dave highly responsive and of very high integrity and character. David demonstrated a very high level of competance and understanding of our many case technicalities as well as case management issues. I strongly recommend David McLain as a construction litigation attorney and would again employ his services in a heartbeat if needed. I could not have been more satisfied! Great job, Dave -- You are a true standout!

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.
