Calm, cool and the right guy to have on your team!
My case did not have precedent as it relates to family law in Washington or probably anywhere else. Alone this was a certain loser either through stifling court proceedings, or general lack of support for this type of sophisticated knowledge of law. My hopes were high but expectations low at the be...

Knowledgeable, compassionate
I had the absolute pleasure of having David Gross (along with his paralegal Karrey Komp) represent me in a custody case. David is phenomenal! He went above and beyond my expectations. My case was a long drawn out one that lasted almost 6 months when it realistically shouldn’t have! My ex husband was ...

Integrity and Honor
I've known Dave for about 4 years and I could not recommend a better attorney. Because of him - my daughter, myself and the rest of my family are able to spend more time with each other. Dave is a man of integrity and a man of honor. I was beyond impressed with his work ethic and to say this man work...

taylor made for what we needed
We had a complicated situation that was very rare. We wanted to transfer custody of our nieces back to their biological father who was ready to take them, in the most cost effective way. Two other lawyers would not take the job. David took the job, and after lots of research he formulated a game plan...
-- It was an absolute pleasure to help Jeff and Kathy. They presented a truly unique issue, and I am so glad we were able to help them navigate the complicated process through the family court. -- This is one of those cases where the client purchased "Unbundled" services, and wanted to save money by doing part of the work themselves. We prepped the paperwork, provided instructions, and helped them solve problems along the way until the issue was resolved.

Absolutely Amazing!
I feel so blessed that I came in contact with Dave Gross! I have been dealing with a really long, complicated, painfully agonizing custody battle for over 2 years now. I had an attorney in the beginning but he took all my money, only went to one hearing and then wanted another $3200.00. So from ther...
"Dave Gross is an exceptional attorney. I had the opportunity to work with Dave during his career as a Senior Deputy Prosecutor in the King County Prosecutor's Office in Seattle. Judges, defense attorneys and fellow prosecutors respected his hard work, tenacity and success in the courtroom. Now that Dave is in private practice, his clients will benefit from his years of courtroom experience. He will not be afraid to press a case to trial if that is what is called for under the circumstances. You will consider yourself lucky to have such a talented and experienced trial attorney in your corner."
"Mr. Gross is a greatly experienced, diligent and passionate attorney. When it comes to Criminal Law, he sets the standard for quality and learned representation both in and out of the courtroom. I endorse him, without reservation, for any type of criminal litigation and related work."

"I have known Dave Gross for 24 years and in that time I can say he has been consistent in the following way. He is one of the most competent, clear, concise,and hard working attorneys I have ever had the privilege to work alongside. If Mr. Gross is your attorney you are in good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dave is an excellent advocate who will work tirelessly for his clients. Dave and I worked together many years ago and he was well respected with both his peers, opposing counsel and the court. Dave has an excellent courtroom demeanor and years of valuable experience. Anyone would be in excellent hands with Dave as their lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dave is an effective advocate. I have worked opposite him on a number of cases and he has always been effective and skilled."

"I worked alongside Dave for many years at the King County Prosecutor's Office in Seattle, WA. I know Dave to be a hard-working, thoughtful attorney with exceptional trial skills and experience. I can recommend him highly to anyone in search of outstanding legal representation."
"I have known Dave for over ten years. We were colleagues for many years when Dave was a prosecutor and we opposed each other when I went into private practice. Dave is a hard working and intelligent lawyer. He also has an outstanding presence in the courtroom. His clients will be well served having him by their side."
"I endorse this lawyer. I went up against David on more than one occasion when he was a prosecutor and found him to be thoroughly prepared. He was also both compassionate and ethical, not common traits in a prosecutor. I am sure he brings the same qualities to his private practice. His current clients will be well served."
