Zev Hardman, Litigation Attorney on Sep 21, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
As an attorney, I worked with David in several matters including in defending multiple parties prosecuted by the U.S. Dept. of Labor at U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California before The Honorable William H. Orrick. There, we successfully prevented prosecutors from obtaining substantial damages when two of our three individual defendants were found not liable by the jury despite the considerable and costly efforts of the U.S. Dept. of Labor. David works hard for his clients. He’s a strong writer and thinker. If you are considering hiring an attorney, I recommend you speak with David about your legal issue today.

I endorse this lawyer. David is one of the sharpest lawyers I've had the pleasure of knowing. Tough, but fair...extremely thorough...would have loved to have him on my side!

David is very sharp, quick witted and a pleasure to work with. He has tremendous attention to detail and asks all the right questions to get to the heart of the matter. I would say he is intuitive in that regard. I also know that he is versed in other areas of law (land use, employment etc) - kind of a jack of all law trades. I highly recommend him as an attorney or a consultant.

David is a hard working, intelligent, and diligent attorney who gives his all for his clients. His litigation work product is top notch. I have worked with David as co-counsel on a number of cases where his depth of litigation skills and his substantial experience dramatically improved the position of our clients' cases. I highly recommend him.
