Best of the best

I had an excellent experience working with David and his team. I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and the care they put into my case. David provided clear guidance throughout the entire process and ensured I was informed every step of the way. His professionalism, attention to detail, a...nd commitment to his clients truly set him apart. His team was equally impressive—responsive, supportive, and highly professional. This experience was a true blessing to my family and me. I highly recommend David and his team to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate representation.

Extremely Aggressive and Knowledgeable Attorney

I had a complicated and high value case that I trusted to David. He really worked hard and delivered great results above and beyond imagination. It was a very long and hard fought war but we prevailed. I could not be happier with the way things were handled. He gave me honest advise even when I did n...ot want to hear it and he delivered!

David Did Exactly What He Said He Would Do

My car was totaled when hit by a driver with no insurance. David took my case on contingency, reassuring me that he would get for me the maximum award possible through MY insurance company. He did exactly that and in the time period he said would be required. He took care of everything.

AUTO ACCIDENT

After being rear ended while driving on Golden State #5 a friend recommended David Pourati to handle my injury case. These things always involve "time" for resolution and David was excellent in keeping me focused (and patient) towards a resolve. I was compensated for treatment and damages in a s...ettlement that was more than fair and I highly recommend him.

"I first met David on a legal matter almost 10 years ago and he has always made time for me regarding personal and legal matters regardless of his schedule (including weekends). He is persistent and will fight for you more than any other person I know. Yet he is selfless and humble, goes above and beyond and does it well. Very nice guy all around and I am highly confident in referring my friends and family to him regarding car accidents (property damage and personal injury) and employment law matters."
