This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing Attorney

David represented me for a motorcycle accident against the city and was amazing from the first phone call. Professional, honest, experienced, and always just a phone call/text/email away. David explained all possibilities, scenarios and answered all my questions in a way I could understand. I would ...HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who needs a experienced and smart PI Lawyer.

David is the BEST!!!

David Reinard has been a life saver! I hired a lawyer before David who didnt know what he was doing he never reponded to my emails or phone calls so I fired him! David Reinard saved me! He got more done on my case in a day then the other "lawyer" David responds quickly to every email and phone cal...l and lets you know whats going on every step of your case! He explains everything in "normal talk" not "lawyer talk" Thankyou David !!!!

He is wonderful!!

David was terrific. He worked hard to get me what I deserved in my auto accident. He always kept me updated and let me know all my options. Know matter how small my questions seemed they were always answered kindly. He is very kind and gets the job done. If I ever need an attorney again, he will be t...he first one I call.

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.
