Posted by Jennifer | April 26, 2013 | Employment & Labor

Damian is brilliant, efficient, and empathetic. Highly, highly recommended.

Damian has represented me on 2 very different cases. I find his writing to be superb, and since he used to have a law appearance business, he knows everyone down at the courthouse. Consequently, he often has a good feel for how a judge is going to decide on a particular motion. One of my cases was... a fairly routine car accident case (this was before he streamlined his practice to primarily civil litigation). He brought the matter to a swift conclusion, and I got a settlement check for my troubles. The other case was a HUGE employment case with a Fortune 500 Company in Silicon Valley. While I cannot discuss the case details, I was very pleased with the outcome. Damian is a master at finding obscure bits of law that other lawyers overlook. This, along with his brilliant writing, gives him an edge. I highly recommend him for all your civil litigation matters.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Damian for approximately 10 years as a colleague and have always been impressed with his thorough preparation and representation of his clients. He prides himself on his law and motion practice and with good reason. He is always up to speed on the legal issues of his clients and will do whatever is necessary to make sure things are right including taking appeals if necessary. Damian will go the extra mile and he doesn’t back down. What’s more Damian mixes these qualities with an eye for what is going to best get it done for the client. I recommend him."
