This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

David Woodruff is Superman!

We hired "Woodruff" years ago, literally on a wing and a prayer..."God, please let us find the best attorney for our child." God did not disappoint. When we first met David, he was quiet and unassuming. He was politely matter-of-fact as he explained the law to us, the "easier" bits of a lawsui...t, and the difficulties that were sure to come in a case as complex as ours. He promised that he would do everything in his power to help our child, and then he set about to do just that. There were so many issues, so many uphill battles that had to be fought and won. Each step of our case seemed fraught with peril. David even had to travel back to the state of origin to force production. David went above and beyond for us. Even when it was looking bleak, as it did at times, David reassured us that, no matter what, he was all in. When it came time for trial, David masterfully weaved the threads of a broken, fragmented, tangled mess of chaos into a clear and powerful portrait of what happened to our child and why. Every question was answered. He fought for her. He advocated for her when no one else would even try. And he won. There are no words that could ever come close, no words that are big enough or grand enough or mighty enough to show just how grateful we are that Clark Kent just so happened to be at his desk one day, and just so happened to answer his phone.

Amazing and caring

David and his firm are amazing! They always went the extra step, making sure we understood what was happening and that we were comfortable with everything. His staff was wonderful keeping us updated and always quick to respond. Our son suffered a brain injury, David and his team went I feel like abo...ve and beyond. Thanks to their hard work and dedication our son's case was won and now we know that no matter what happens in our lives he will always be taken care of. We will be forever grateful.

Amazing!!!

My husband and I hired David Woodruff a few years ago to handle our medical malpractice lawsuit. We went into this whole process not knowing what we were getting into. David was always willing to answer questions and gave us his opinion, whether we liked the answer or not. He was a VERY hard worker, ...honest with us and kept us informed every step of the way. Before the conclusion of our trial, we agreed if we lost, it was not because of anything David did or did not do. We felt blessed to have him fighting on our behalf. We are forever indebted!!!

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.
