Very happy with results of my case

I had a very complicated case that I presented to David Siegal. Many lawyers might have walked away from it, but David did not. He sat with me and heard my whole story. He drove to the scene of the accident with me and took many pictures of his own to better understand the incident. He really gave my... case his attention and his time and it paid off in the end. The opposing side denied everything, and delayed everything over and over again, but David stuck with it and we won the case in the end. I would have gotten absolutely nothing if David Siegal hadn't represented me in my case and he far exceeded my expectations. I have and will continue to refer people to David. He really is a fantastic lawyer, and more importantly an honest and good hearted person.

  • 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.
