Fast response!
I appreciate the fast response. I had questions in regards to an auto accident. Didn't need to hire him but he did advise some options.

Effective attorney
David provided effective and excellent legal representation in dealing with a case related to real estate. He provided prompt progress reports of the case, and brought it to close with a favorable conclusion for me.

David Seto is an excellent attorney
I was served with an eviction notice from my previous landlord. There were some very unusal circumstaces and David went the extra mile to make sure my case was settled without a judgement hitting my credit report and with a reasonable payment arrangement to my lanlord. I highly recommend him he is very knowledgeable and will definitely fight for you to get the best outcome possible.
