Artist

David McGriff has been a pivotal part of my business over the last 20 or so years. He is always available to discuss contracts and deals of any sort. He helped me negotiate my major record deal in 2005 with SRC?Universal records. He has also assisted me and my various companies with filing of paperwo...rk and any legal documentation. Recently he has helped me put together a business proposal as well as negotiate feasible terms on my behalf to close deals. Overall I am of the belief that David McGriff has an excellent understanding of his clients needs and always helps his clients receive the type of structure needed to secure great business endeavors etc. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looked to retain a great lawyer with a brilliant work ethic as well as non stop hustle. A good attorney always makes for a peace of mind that is priceless as you handle your business in your respective field.

The Best Sports & Entertainment Attorney

David has not only provided me with competent and effective legal assistance throughout his representation, but he is also like a mentor to me. David always ensures that he puts his clients’ first, and I am extremely grateful to have been able to work with him.

AMAZING!!!

I contacted David with a pretty complex case and he and his team were so fantastic. They are easy to contact, no question is too little or seemed bothersome. The day it was settled I was THRILLED with the outcome. He has a very calm, confident demeaner but not arrogant. He was able to secure stateme...nts from people to reiterate and confirm my complaints, something I didn't think would happen given the touchy subject matter. He was in it for the long haul and willing to take it all the way but due to health issues with myself I decided to settle. The amount we settled for made my day and all the suffering not in vain.

They faught for me

After speaking to a number of attorneys and feeling extremely frustrated...finally I was referred to Mika. David and Mika were both very professional throughout the entire process. They were relentless in their Pursuit of Justice. I was very pleased with the overall outcome and with how quickly thi...ngs were handled. Should I ever need an attorney again, they will be my first pick.

A dedicated professional

I contacted David after receiving quotes that i could not afford for a very simple task of reviewing an agreement for funding for an investment agreement for my first short film. He helped me, an aspiring film maker to accomplish a simple and critical task to get my film made and accomplish my goal. ...His response time was amazing and he gave me a realistic product. I am glad I found him.
