Quick study and honest
We have multiple businesses ranging from maritime interests to office buildings to single family housing. We have been legal guardians requiring legal assistance and are property owners with sticky situations. Dave has helped us with it all. If he doesn't know about the subject, he learns quickly and...
"Dave was opposing counsel on a matter. I appreciated his professional courtesy, creativity and approach to complex issues. I recommend Dave to anyone requiring assistance with complex issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Dave about 6 years ago. I sued a lay person who did not pay my lawyer-clients hourly fees in some litigation. Dave substitututed in this case for another lawyer against whom I had gotten an advantage. Dave proved to be much more adept and competent. He did a superb job of taking the deposition of my lawyer client. He was thoroughly prepared, and was relentless in pursing his inquiries from my client. I was truly impressed. I moved for summary jdugment and had what I thought was the better argument on the facts. Dave did a superb job in opposing kmy motion and I lost a part of my motion I did not expect to lose. As a result of this, I made a point of getting to know Dave socially and we have formed a good professional friendship. He now works with me in my practice involving disputed lawyers fees. I can always rely on Dave for excellent analysis, preparation and good results. He is one of the best against whom I have litigated."
"Dave and I are co-counsel on a matter and have been opposing counsel in the past. He is tenacious and whip-smart."
"I have worked with Dave on cases, on the same side and as opposing counsel. Dave is smart, focused and hard working. Most importantly, I trust his word. I endorse Dave without hesitation."
