This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Well done!

David was thorough and thoughtful in his execution of my will. He was able to gather the adequate information pertaining to my wishes in a very short period of time as I was preparing to travel overseas and needed the document executed with only 48 hours notice. He addressed my concerns and provided ...the advice I needed in order to make sound decisions. I would recommend him to anyone.

Satisfied Client!

Needed a will in a pinch before leaving for a trip overseas. David Amen at Amen Law was able to draft the necessary legal documents and meet with me the next day to sign and execute the binding will and testament. He was very thorough and asked all the necessary questions to insure that my wishes ...were documented properly and would be carried out appropriately in the event of my death. I was very satisfied with the whole process and will gladly work with David on future legal matters.

Leave a Legacy Will

David volunteered his time to meet with my mom and prepare a Will for her at no charge. He was extremely personable and friendly, and he patiently answered all my mother's questions. She felt very comfortable dealing with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him.

Awesome

David was accessible, understanding and very professional. Responded to my text and emails quickly and always made sure I understood the process. Always willing to help and go out of his way. I would refer him to anyone that needs legal counsel.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
