Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
David was opposing counsel on a wage and hour case. He was very easy to work with. He's practical and a great advocate for his clients. He lacks any pretense which made it easy for both sides to work together to come to a resolution. Because of his lawyering style and the fact that he is just a good person, he is able to serve his clients' interests well. Would definitely recommend him.
