David Dorenfeld - The Best Attorney I've Ever Worked With

David is not only a very effective lawyer, he's also a very smart businessman ... an attribute seldom found in an attorney. And although he doesn't emphasize his contract skills, he's an excellent entertainment negotiator and contract lawyer. In short, David Dorenfeld is the best lawyer I've ever... worked with. - John

Off the cuff defense

Mr. Dorenfeld was retained by me to handle a civil case with my previous employer where he indicates the simplicity of the case and sends me pre printed personal injury agreement to sign. My case was not handled the way you’d expect despite our personal meetings providing feedback on the lack of prep...aration from him and his team. Claims made during court appearances were vague and contrary to the evidences in hand. During the trial, misrepresentations were made on undisputed facts by both parties. Last minute made up arguments was made due to lack of due diligence or strategy in place to prepare and present my case. This has been the most hands off, least communicated, or committed to civil case I have seen causing me sever emotional, financial distress, and forcing me to file for bankruptcy. To this day, I have not been able to obtain my records and files on the case either.

  • 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.
