Extremely Helpful

David gave me some very helpful advice on an issue with my landlord. He patiently listened to the problem and gave his honest thoughts about different ways to handle the situation and walked me through the positives and negatives of each. His guidance gave me the confidence to proceed when I had prev...iously felt overwhelmed and stuck. I would highly recommend David, as he is clearly knowledgeable and takes the time to listen and give personalized advice.

Very nice and personable

I spoke to over 30 attorneys and though David couldn't help me with my case, he heard me out and gave me his opinions on what I may be able to do. I spoke to him on the phone for a while and he was direct and upfront which the other attorneys were not.
