disappointing experience

Mr. Britton proved unreliable and lacked a clear strategy. An attorney should prioritize their client's interests, but Mr. Britton made promises to opposing counsel and set expectations without consulting us, which felt like a breach of trust. He often failed to read emails promptly and delayed actio...ns until the last minute. His poor service cost us significant damage. Our experience was highly disappointing, and we chose to end our engagement after discovering he withheld important information from the opposing party and shared details with them that caused us harm. We cannot recommend his services.

terror of little children

I have used Mr. Britton several times. He is easy to work with and will give you realistic expectations and not just what you want to hear. Mr. Britton help my parents get their Living Will and Medical Power of Attorney taken care of quickly. I feel that I can call Mr. Britton at anytime for advice a...nd services and I have. When I haven't been able to make it to his office he has made other arrangements to help me or allowed me to meet him after regular scheduled work hours. I am so glad to have met and used Mr. Brittons services. I just wish I could use him for all my legal needs.

"I endorse this lawyer. Among many other good attributes, David is hard working, diligent, ambitious, and takes good care of his clients. I have known David for about seven years. We used to share an office space together, so I've witnessed his professionalism in taking care of his clients.
