Great lawyer

Dave represented my husband. My husband had to travel from out of state for court, Dave and his employees made him feel like family. He also made sure we understood everything that was going to happen along the way. Highly recommend David Partovi as a lawyer!

Dave listen to my legal issue as a result came a plan of action. Dave knows... the terrain of court which he strives and is motivated to bring the Truth to forefront. Dave Partovi Work Ethic, Communication, Desired Results!!

LIFE SAVER!

David Partovi is not only a great attorney, but also what I now consider, an incredible friend. On a professional level, you have to respect the fact that his knowledge is impressive, and his ability to be honest and straight forward with you demands your trust and respect. With that, you'll discov...er he truly cares as a person, and you can't help but consider him a man that you can turn to. My personal situation was one that was life changing. David was there for me from day one! He instantly took control and always said, "trust me." He was so right. He not only controlled my legal life, but as a great individual, he kept my personal life on track. As much as I wanted to give up, he kept myself and my family going. I, and my family, owe him more than words could ever say. After, what felt like eternity, three years of legal hell, David was the lighthouse in my storm, and I can only swear my 100% approval for this man. I owe him my life, and my family and friends will forever be greatful to him. In closing, David Partovi is a sure bet. A great attorney, and even better human being. The only thing that makes him better, is his incredible assistant Carly, who also is there for you any time you need her. Her ability to keep everything organized and her heart warming smile, make dealing with Partovi law, truly a blessing experience. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This law office not only proved me innocent, but gave me back my life and my family and i will forever be greatful!!!

"Dave graduated a year ahead of me at Gonzaga, and like me, has worked for both the prosecution and the defense. I prosecuted one trial with Dave as opposing counsel, and he worked hard for his client to win the acquittal.

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.
