Best Attorney in SF and Bay Area.

David is the best attorney. Very responsive and clear with your rights, options, and more importantly he gets things done.

Strategic Legal Guidance with Integrity and Precision

David quickly assessed the legal situation and provided well-considered options without steering the conversation toward predetermined conclusions. His experience was evident in his approach, and he communicated effectively throughout the process. He remained true to his commitments, ensuring all del...iverables were met on time, ultimately leading to a successful outcome.

Consult + Referral

I was referred to David by a friend and asked him to review a termination situation. He reviewed my notes for free and called me with his opinion. Although he declined to take my case, he was empathetic, thorough, eloquent, and generous with his time. I would have been excited to have him as represen...tation and would certainly refer him to others.

Practical, efficient advice

Responsive, knowledgeable, efficient and ethical. Was consulting with him from out of state regarding a CA litigation matter and he gave me a concise summary of what needed to be done to resolve it.

Excellent for Sensitive Employment Issue

I highly recommend David. We needed an attorney on short notice for a sensitive employment issue. He fit us into his schedule, understood our situation, keep his hours reasonable, was available after hours, and turned things around quickly. Importantly, he listened to us, gave clear, understandable ...advice and supported our decisions. I'd hire him again without hesitation.

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.
