Personal injury case.

I was referred to Mr. Roth following a car accident where I did receive significant injury. I was receiving numerous calls and pressure to settle by the at fault drivers insurance. By hiring Mr. Roth all of that pressure was immediately stopped. I was allowed to focus on my injury which did result in... need for surgery that was not immediately apparent in the initial aftermath of the accident. He held the "sharks at bay" so I did not even need to worry or think about the details of any legal implications. He or his office contacted me when necessary for follow up or collection of information. My only focus was my health and recovery. Mr. Roth kept me informed in clear and concise language to the status of the claim. When it came time to settle he obtained the optimal settlement. During the settlement he keep me informed and provided the financial information I needed around my responsibilities for insurance subjection and any other information I needed for a successful conclusion. From the point of my accident to settlement it was a couple of years due to the nature of the injury and subsequent surgery and Mr. Roth was my advocate throughout in a professional and supportive manner.

Slip and fall expertise

David Roth handled my slip and fall case. I've never needed an attorney before and didn't know what to expect. David advised me as to what notes and records to keep, and then took care of the rest, constructing a strong case over the course of my recuperation. In the end, we settled out of court afte...r a fair amount of back and forth between the parties. David was a persistent advocate, and I am extremely satisfied with the results he achieved.

My Auto Accident

My Attorney David Roth is an excellent communicator. I was emailed or talked to throughout the whole process of my auto accident. I was given clear directions on what I needed to fill out and complete. He helped me gather information from my employer, hospitals, massage and physical therapist. He fou...ght for my full settlement and got it! Its nice to know there are still great lawyers out there protecting people that don't/cant navigate this process themselves. Thank you David Roth and Gavin for making this experience a better one.

Mr. David Roth and his team greatly helped me through traffic accident injury case for my family

Mr. David Roth and his team greatly helped me through traffic accident injury case for my family. Probably just like most of average people, I was not familiar at all with traffic accident injury case and how to deal with medical treatment, billing, compensation for loss, settling the case with insu...rance companies, etc, etc. Mr. Roth helped my family to go through all the hassle. I deeply appreciate for his service and recommend him and his firm!

Great Attorney

David Roth represented me in a car accident I was involved in. I was not sure what to expected. I was worried about medical cost and how Insurance Companies worked. He handle everything from the Insurance companies to making sure all bills were paid. He did an excellent job keeping me informed along ...the way. David was thorough and compassionate at the same time. His office staff was also wonderful and helpful. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
