Posted by Theresa | September 14, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

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.

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
