Top-Tier Representation - Honest, Strategic, and Gets Results

I had the absolute privilege of working with David Turplesmith on my L&I case, and I can confidently say he exceeded every expectation I had. From the start, he was straightforward, compassionate, and laser-focused on getting the outcome I deserved. He walked me through every part of the process, ...kept me informed, and never made me feel like just another case. What stood out most was his dedication- not just to winning, but to making sure I felt empowered and supported along the way. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, we won my full L&I case. That outcome changed everything for me, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is sharp, dependable, and will fight for you every step of the way, David is who you want in your corner. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did for me.

Excellent Attorney

I hired David Turplesmith to handle my case. He spent a great deal of time researching the law and presenting my facts to the judge. He prepared me for my testimony, and gave me constant updates on what was happening before and after the trial. David did a great job and my case was a success. I high...ly recommend him as an attorney.

Disappointing.

David came off as a strong willed individual that would fight for your case. Unfortunately that was all a ruse. Once hired, the communication was all but non existent, the communication that was received was not explained correctly, and most of the time was left in the dark about my case. My docto...rs at the time requested he contact them to look at my case and continue moving forward, not only did he refuse to contact them, he refused to continue communicating all together. I only heard from him once the case ran its course, and had no case left to fight. Most negative experience I've had with an attorney. Did not communicate with the clients. Did not communicate with the specialists involved, ruined my case and my health with his behavior. I am still attempting a recovery, years after his involvement. Would recommend anyone other than this attorney. Seemed to either not know, or not care about you and your situation. Made the justice system seem like a farce.
