Excellent Coverage Counsel

I have worked with David for several years on matters involving insurance coverage under old policies from the 1960's and 1970's. We are a manufacturing company and needed help in coming to terms with our insurance carriers on some coverage issues. David was chiefly responsible for helping us to ne...gotiate a favorable agreement.

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.
