David represented us in a real estate dispute. We had never experienced a dispute like this before. David took the time to explain the process at the beginning so we knew what to expect. He gathered all the facts documents we had and told us what else we needed to obtain.
He was very patient and thorough and clearly laid out our options.
He was honest and direct about both the positive and negative possible
outcomes. We were well prepared before so we could be confident as
we went forward.
David's strength is not only in his knowledge of the Law but in his accounting background. He was able to quickly make necessary adjustments and clearly explain to all so we could reach a fair
settlement.
In the end, we were able to prevail and were pleased with the outcome.
We are glad to recommend David to others and plan to work with
him in future real estate transactions.
A deeply experienced, kind, communicative and thorough attorney who fights to the finish line with real results
David's knowledge of civil procedure, his very deep experience, his kindness and understanding, his engagement of my family and I as co-plaintiffs as his clients with excellent strategy and clear, candid and open communication made a life-changing fraud and financial elder abuse case bearable, giving us a sense of fairness and closure.
This was a complex case with a bizarre cross-complaint that threatened to erase and make worse the original causes of action, but David (and his firm) steadfastly "boxed in" the defendant with brilliant strategies and pleadings that eventually overwhelmed the lies and deceit with truth and justice. The court agreed and we won our judgement.
I highly recommend David R. Beck for even the most complex real estate fraud litigation cases, as he is fully equipped to take it all the way to "win." Given the difficulty of our circumstances, David did everything he could to patiently explain each step, carefully consulted with us whenever there was a strategic fork in the road and took each important step all the way to the finish line with real results. Thank you, David!
