Not a Billboard Snake Lawyer! An Honest Personal Injury Specialist that Can Make a Case that Others Turn Down

"I can’t say enough good things about my experience with David. From the very beginning, he was honest, communicative, and delivered on every promise he made. Not only did he handle my personal injury case efficiently, but he got me a settlement that was 10 times bigger than I ever imagined. If you’r...e looking for a top-tier personal injury attorney who truly cares and fights for you, look no further!"

Kept my job

Mr. Gammill helped me out after I was arrested for defending myself. Although LAPD filed charges against me saying I was the aggressor. After talking to a couple of attorneys the odds of getting justice did not look good. I was referred Mr. Gammill and that made the difference. He managed to arra...nge a dismissal for community service. Which allowed me to save my job. I’ll be forever grateful. If you want an attorney that has integrity, compassion and actually cares for his clients then I would strongly recommend Gammill Law.

trustworthy

David Helped me out a while back. He got the DA to give me an offer that didn't cost me my job. When i recently reached out on behalf of a family member who had an issue he spent about a half an hour speaking to me and then suggested we stick with the Public Defender. Meant a lot he didn't try to ...charge us for no reason. I'd call him anytime.

Top Defense Attorney

I knew I had made the right choice when we walked into court and the judge's assistant got up and gave him a handshake and embrace. Couldn't ask for a better lawyer on your side.

Civil rights lawyer | Oct 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David and I have worked together on a couple of civil rights cases. He has a remarkable presence in depositions, and is creative when it comes to solving legal issues. I am always impressed with his grasp of legal issues, and yet ability to find nuanced and artful ways to view difficult problems to find a solution for the client."

Civil rights lawyer | Sep 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I met David shortly after he began working at Geragos & Geragos. Not long after that, we spent five days together in a federal civil rights jury trial in Utah. David is one of the most remarkable trial lawyers I've had the pleasure of working with. He is smart, reasonable, and always very well prepared. David was able to pull off during that trial a truly "Perry Mason" moment that we all dream about-and he did it in a very classy way. The jury agreed and returned a verdict well beyond what either of us thought possible. Without reservation, I give David my highest recommendation."

"I have known David for many years professionally and highly endorse him. I would feel confident in referring clients to him, as he is an extremely intelligent lawyer and has the ability to think "outside the box" when the situation calls for it. David communicates well with his clients and fights hard for their best interests. David is a great choice for an attorney."

Personal injury lawyer | Aug 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of referring a complicated matter to David recently. We worked together for many years as prosecutors and now in private practice I refer all high stakes litigation to him. David is in a unique position to take any case given his vast experience as both a prosecutor with the District Attorney and civil litigator working with Mark Geragos working on high profile matters. In the most recent case I referred him, David quickly knew the direction to take leading our client to a quick and efficient result. David is an experienced trial attorney and most importantly is very good and caring with his clients. I highly recommend this attorney."

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.
