My experiences working with Dave Moutoux Law

When I was starting my business in California back in the early '90s, I needed a lawyer who could help me figure out the right filings and write a will that involved some complicated real estate and insurance policies. And there were some inheritance issues that needed sorting. I didn’t want to deal... with one of those big law firms and pay their rates. A friend told me to talk to Dave Moutoux and I've never worked with another since. Dave used to work at one of those big firms but went out on his own. Since then—30 years ago!—he’s helped me through it all: business stuff, a tough legal battle defending me against baseless lies, (he was amazing to watch in court, I was a wreck) probate, setting up living wills and trusts. I’ve referred countless friends to him, all of whom have thanked me. One of my friends leaned on him to defuse a family dispute. He has set up conservatorships and irrevocable trusts. Dave’s the kind of guy who keeps his cool no matter what, tells it like it is, and always knows what he’s doing. He always answers my calls, evenings and weekends. I’ve had the chance to meet his family, too; they’re lovely. He’s one of the smartest, most strategically minded, and kindest people I know.

Not professional or prepared.

The most unprofessional attorney. Promises are broken, memory is terrible. Misinformation and failed promises.

I don't understand the basis of Kathleen's statements of March 2, 2025. I am sorry that she feels this way. I have not represented her since 2021 so the timing of this post is odd to me. I did represent Kathleen in 2020 in an estate litigation matter but I withdrew from the case on July 28, 2021 on amicable terms. (San Mateo County Superior Court Case No. 20-PRO-00210). She thereafter hired another law firm who handled the case exclusively through trial, which took place on February 14, 2023. During that 19 month period ( after I withdrew) I did not represent Kathleen in any aspect of that case and did not participate as her counsel at trial. I did however testify favorably on her behalf as a witness. Unfortunately, for Kathleen, the judge ruled against her. In the judge's Statement of Decision there was no mention or implication that I was somehow responsible for her loss. Quite the contrary. That Statement of Decision can be found on the Court website under Case No. 20-PRO-00210. I can only presume that Kathleen's comments of March 2, 2025 are somehow related to that case. I am an attorney in good standing and have practiced law without any disciplinary issues for 33 years. I have many repeat clients who have had very complimentary things to say about me. Again, I am at a loss as to why Kathleen made the statements she made and did so almost 4 years after our legal relationship ended. I wish her well, however.
