David Roth is a 5 star attorney

David did a wonderful job representing me in an accident case and he didn't back down. He's not only passionate about his clients but the law and injustices. His team member Gavin who works behind the scene has been blessed with the unique ability to pursue any technicalities or options that exist. G...avin gets two thumbs up. Also, David delivers a beautiful closing argument sealing the deal. Cudoos and 5 stars David.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have referred many injury cases to David, and he has always done an excellent job on them. The people whom I have referred to David on these injury matters have been consistently pleased with his efforts. He stays on top of these matters and communicates very well with the people all the way through. Some lawyers do not seem to understand the basic need to keep the clients informed. David understands the importance of communicating with clients, and he is very good at it."

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.
