David Wendell Seal

Mr. Seal represented me in a personal injury lawsuit and got me a better result than I could have EVER imagined. When I walked into his office to originally consult with him, I was not even sure if I had a case or if the case was lucrative. From the start Mr. Seal was clearly incredibly experienced a...nd knowledgeable. He not only shed light on my situation, he made me feel confident achieving the result I wanted was going to be incredibly straightforward. Mr. Seal was professional, tactical and efficient. From start to finish, there was not a single event that arose that I did not see coming since I was so well versed on the process and how everything would unfold thanks to my attorney. Also, I was not exactly an "easy" client to deal with per se as I have massive trust issues stemming from my own personal experiences and problems. Not only did he alleviate those concerns, he made special exceptions for me that were AT LEAST borderline slightly unreasonable just to accommodate my lack of trust in the process. Eventually though through always being correct about what was going to happen next, Mr. Seal didnt just win me over, He won my case. I could NEVER recommend Mr. Seal enough. He consulted to get me to believe in my own case, he took my case pro bono, he won me a generous settlement and he still consults with me on various small legal matters TO THIS DAY. I am going to be incredibly sad when he retires because the world will lose an excellent moral attorney who practices the way he lives, as a skilled trustworthy professional who deserves your trust and vote of confidence. I would wish you good luck if you choose to hire Mr. Seal as your attorney but you wont need it. You're in great hands. If the case can be won and you hired Mr. Seal, then chalk up 1 in the W column now because its basically already done. Its really hard to know if you are doing the right thing on something before you make a choice but I can assure you right now through my own personal experience that you are 100% making the right choice if you are choosing to hire Mr. Seal. If there is still even an ounce of doubt then make the call, talk to him yourself and Im sure you will see that you are in the most capable hands you can be in. Enjoy the win coming your way and thank you Mr. Seal for truly changing the trajectory of my life into something great. I can say with zero doubts that I could not have done it without him and I would not be where I am today had I not done it.

I reached out to David to consult a real estate case and he was quite rude. I called him at the morning and he told me i can call back 6:30pm. I finally connected him at 6:50pm. He isn’t my 1st attorney to consult this case, however, the questions he asked aren’t really similar to other attorneys. so... while I described the case in a nutshell, he constantly asked if there was an escrow etc. I thought I disclosed that when I started, since that’s the beginning of contract and also this dispute. I told him i found him since he answered a similar question on avo.com that he can do fixed to contingency plan. He said he wouldn’t believe that he said that. He was basically saying i’m lying. So I said, your review isn’t solid 5 star, i wouldn’t have reached out to you if you didn’t answer that. He immediately counter back and said . he isn’t interested. Overall, I think his attitude is really problematic. And if you think i’m one of those uneasy to work with, just check my reviews left for attorney. His style is very rude and “you listen” or we don’t talk.

Attorney David Seal promised to assist me with my collateral complaint for trespassing and private nuisance for a business operated out of my rental apartment without a business license and home occupation permit. After the retainer agreement was signed and the $3,500 retainer check was cashed, I did... not hear back from attorney Seal. I tried calling and emailing him but he is always busy working on other cases, personal health issues, and holiday vacation. The day before the statutory deadline to file suit for my case expired, he called me and told me that it is not the best use of his time to file an action for trespass and private nuisance. He then sent me an email confirming that I agreed to his recommendation. At this point, even if I disagreed with his recommendation, it is impossible for me to find another attorney to help me with my case. Attorney Seal should provide his clients sufficient notice of his decision not to pursue the case so the client can find another attorney. In any legal matter, time is of the essence. Attorney Seal accepted my money and promised to help me but he did not do anything. I lost my legal rights due to his failure to take action on the case and he did not provide me with advance notice to find a new attorney had I wanted to still pursue these causes of action. To make the matter worse, I asked him to provide me with his tax identification so I can issue him form 1099 for the $3,500 I paid him to comply with the IRS rules. I faxed and emailed him copy of IRS Form W-9 and instructions. He never got back to me. Now I am out $3,500 and I can’t even get a tax deduction for the money I paid him. I hope my review will help other to learn from my mistakes. If you are going to hire attorney Seal, I highly recommend paying a very small retainer fee and see if he actually follow through with what he promised. Pay the bills as the retainer is depleted to make sure you actually got legal services you paid for. If you don’t get any services, at least you lose out on a smaller amount. Also, get the form W-9 at the time the retainer agreement is signed and the initial retainer fee is paid. Once the check is cashed, you are out of luck with this attorney.

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

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 believ...e we could have realistically wished for more informative, more open, more capable, more personable, more practical, more realistic, or more articulate representation.
