Analyst

David was quick and very knowledgeable about my employment contract. He was also able to succinctly detail key issues and was very responsive. His knowledge with issues regarding similar contracts also helped on a speedy return time. I would recommend him to my peers and hire him again in the future....

Knows his stuff

I had had enough abuse/gas-lighting/goalpost-moving at the hands of my bi-polar boss and it was only intensifying. Though David didn't address those issues much, he did bring up one issue that led to a claim for a significant amount of money. This is what got my negotiations with my employer leaning... substantially on my side. As with any attorney, make sure you set strict guidelines for hours and time spent on the case. Payment for his expertise was definitely worth the money.

Professional and Caring Attorney

I'm grateful David was recommended to me by a friend. David reviewed my notes thoroughly and asked pertinent questions so he is clear on my situation. He went beyond the call of duty to speak with me after business hours in order to help me in a timely manner. David followed up promptly with emai...ls on the next steps and suggested viable solutions. My case may or may not go to court, but I feel better having spoke with David. It calmed me to know that I have someone knowledgeable on my side. I feel very lucky to have found him in time of need.

Highest recommendations

David came highly recommended to me by two separate friends of mine, who are also attorneys. My phone call to him was returned within the hour, and his highest level of attention to all details was paid. He is very easy to communicate with, and I felt that the advice he gave me was sound, and compl...etely in my best interests. He explained all options to me very clearly and I felt very comfortable with my decision making process. I would not hesitate to consult him again, and would recommend him to friends or family without hesitation.

Reputable and Responsive Lawyer

David was referred to me by another lawyer and for good reason. Not only did David counsel me on the legal ramifications of my employment situation, he was able to help me think through how to negotiate with HR and the senior vice president. I appreciated how he presented potential outcomes and was ...supportive throughout the process. If I need to seek advice on another employment issue, I will happily go to David again.

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.
