      Great Results, Expert, High Integrity

      Posted by

      It is a great pleasure for me to recommend Mr. Seal. He has been able to achieve great results for me as my attorney. All I can say is that he is an outstanding Lawyer and extremely a conscientious and caring person in handling cases. His meticulous approach and extraordinary diligence and perseverance through out the case is a rare attribute of his that enables him to negotiate successful resolutions for his clients.”
      David Seal's response: Thank you for the very nice comment. If you get this message, please give me a call so we can catch up. (949) 529-1090.

      Good legal services !

      Posted by

      In my experience with attorney David Seal, my father was being sued for half a million dollars by an ex business associate. My sister died on the same day that my father was served; he was destraut to say the least. He was also in his eighties at the time. I knew that I had to find some good protection for him and at an affordable rate. I knew David prior to the law suit; I had heard how he had helped other people , in the past, so I decided to give him a try. One of the things that particularly impressed me about attorney Seal was his willingness to come to our apartment to meet with my elderly father. The court case was very challenging, but we won the case. As far as I'm concerned, our victory, was in large part due to David's congeniality with my dad, his tenacious attention to detail, in the preparation of our case, and his sence of determination when the opportunity aroze to go in and make "the kill." I recomend the services of David Wendell Seal for anyone in need of competent and affordable legal services!
      David Seal's response: Robert, it was a pleasure representing your father and thank you for the recommendation!

      Great Experience

      Posted by

      I've worked with many lawyers through the years for work and can say Mr. Seal was one of the best I've worked with. We had two traffic collisions with company vehicles and the other parties refused to respond to us. Once Mr. Seal filed the suits the first party offered a fair and reasonable settlement within weeks. The second case took a little more effort and he was able to get a fair and reasonable settlement without going to trial. I would not hesitate to work with Mr. Seal again in the future.

      Savvy Attorney

      Posted by

      I am a victim in a very serious, complicated case involving monetary fraud. I found Attorney David Seal in a random search on Avvo and landed myself the absolute best attorney that I could have possibly found. David is not only extremely knowledgeable in various aspects of law but is also efficient, clever and effective in handling my case. David is readily available when I have questions about items I do not understand along with offering emotional support when things seem overwhelming. I highly recommend David Seal for any legal issues one may have and know that, if needed, I would not think of hiring anyone else. Kelly Lhotak

      A great experience working with David Seal...

      Posted by

      I utilized David Seal in 2013 to represent me on a civil case involving a neighbor whose trees had encroached onto my property (causing foundation and other structural damage). His efforts resulted in a successful outcome as the compromising tree was eventually removed; eliminating further structural damage to my home. Owning apartment buildings, I have worked with many attorneys over the years, This is truly the first time I could say that my attorney was both honest, and putting me above all. David's expertise and tenacity caused the eventual resolution with my neighbor. It was an unfortunate situation that was not being taken seriously by the other party. However, his knowledge of the law and how it applied to my case was invaluable, and a direct cause of our success.
      David Seal's response: Thank you, Joe.

      Settlement Doubled in High Tech Layoff

      Posted by

      David and his team were excellent at taking in all the information and giving me back the possibilities and probabilities of various legal scenarios. Basically doubled my layoff package without having to go to court. Would highly recommend for anyone, especially, tenured professionals affected by unjust or any type of termination!

      I'm very satisfied with David Seal

      Posted by

      I hired David Seal to handle an employment case for me. He listened well to my complaint and agreed to take it on. He communicated well both by calling me and asking any questions while going over documents and also taking my calls if and when I had any concerns. I was able to attend some of the depositions of witnesses and could only listen in on them and was very impressed with the way David hammered with just the right questions. He really cornered the right witnesses into admitting wrongdoing and that was what my case was all about. I remember thinking that I was glad I was not in the hot seat on the other side of the table that David turned it into. I was very well satisfied with the outcome of my case due to Davids diligence. At the end of the settlement conference the judge stopped and told David that he " represented his client well". I got the impression that it is not often that a judge would stop and offer that kind of compliment. David got a friend for life for helping me like he did when I really needed it. The legal system can be a spooky place for someone like me who is not familiar with it so it was great to have Dave give me reassurance, answered all of my questions when I had them and brought it all to a successful conclusion. Can't do any better than that.
      David Seal's response: Jeff, thank you so much for the nice comments.

      Capable! Successful! No surprises! Gets the job done!

      Mr. Seal has represented us three times in three different situations, and has prevailed. One was the pursuit of legal malpractice against another attorney. One was an estate dispute involving malfeasance on the part of a bank. One was a fee dispute with another attorney. In each case I do not believe we could have realistically wished for more informative, more open, more capable, more personable, more practical, more realistic, or more articulate representation.
      David Seal's response: Thank you Eric! It was a pleasure working with you and if you should ever need a lawyer again in California (hopefully you don't) I would very much appreciate your consideration!

      David Seal has been highly effective for me on more than one occasion, I highly recommend him

      Posted by

      I have had the pleasure of having David Seal represent me on a couple of occasions and I couldn't be happier with the service I got. He communicated thoroughly, explained the processes to me, and in the end obtained excellent results. Mr. Seal helped me to avoid exposure in a real estate matter, quite effectively and quickly resolved a dispute with a rental tenant, and even helped to save my drivers license a few years back. His presentations were extremely effective and you know if he tells you something is the law, he is probably right about it! His fees were quite reasonable., too.
      David Seal's response: Thank you Thomas! It was a pleasure working with you.
