Highly Recommend

I had an excellent experience working with David on reviewing and finalizing my employment agreement. He was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient in answering all my questions/concerns. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process smooth. I truly appreciated how resp...onsive and supportive he was. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking clear, reliable, and expert legal guidance!

Knowledgeable, helpful, and reassuring!

David was recommended to me for help with leaving a very toxic, abusive workplace. David was extremely responsive, helpful, and gave it to me straight. He went out of his way to be available and generous with his help before I even hired him - in fact, he was so helpful that I ended up needing less ...support than I thought I would. His perspective was informative and reassuring, and made me feel confident about working with him in the future. I've already recommended him to other people in similar situations!

Consultation regarding severance

David reviewed the documents I sent him and laid out my options very clearly in light of the employment contract I had with my employer and the labor laws relating to severance that applied to it. I was very happy with the consultation. It helped me to make a decision about my best path forward.

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.
