Posted by anonymous | May 24, 2025 | Wrongful Termination

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.

Highly Recommend!

I consulted with David about a potential case and it was eye-opening for me. He explained the different options I may have for a case and was also realistic about expectations. He is easy to talk to and helped provide clarity to my situation.

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.

Highly recommended

David did an excellent job helping me navigate a negotiation for a contract position as a physician. He helped me see important issues in my contract and advised me on how to remedy them. He also gave me clear advice on how to navigate misclassification which is rampant in the medical industry. He wa...s consistently responsive, professional, and insightful. Highly recommend!

Excellent Labor Lawyer – Strongly Recommended

I was looking for a labor lawyer and spoke with several before meeting David. Immediately after talking with him, I knew I wanted to work with him. He is very approachable, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Throughout the entire process, he was attentive, consistently followed up, and provided me with t...he best advice. The outcome was exactly what I hoped for — and he also offered valuable guidance that will help me in the future. I strongly recommend hiring him.

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.
