Little or no precedent

David accepted my case that lacked little or no precedent for a decision and followed through in a timely and professional manner. In my case we happened to win, but even if we had not his effort to obtain a positive decision was exemplary.

Recommendation of David Nims

David Nims was recommended to my fiance and I from a family friend. In regard to our experience with David, he was professional, always on time, and highly informed and educated in his field of work. Most importantly to us, David continually kept contact with us and responded to emails within hours... or in the same day. He showed us that he truly cared for us and our case. He went above and beyond in so many ways. We are grateful for all that David accomplished for us. In respect to our specific case, my fiance was charged with a felony due to an act of self defense. David was able to knock that charge down to a misdemeanor in a short amount of time. David made the entire experience much less stressful for us. It is often daunting when having to decipher through so many potential defense lawyers to choose from to represent you in court. We can say from experience that we were very fortunate in choosing David to represent us. We highly recommend David to anyone who needs an effective defense lawyer in their corner.

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.
