Expert California Employment Law Attorney - Responsive and Professional

David provided excellent guidance throughout my negotiations on my California employment agreement, with quick, timely responses. He expertly identified provisions that violated California law and advised me on critical points to push back on. He was even available to assist me during his break, and ...his direct communication with the other party's legal counsel to clarify necessary contract modifications was efficient and effective.

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.

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!

Great employment law resource for non-profit organizations

Our non-profit board worked with David on a contentious resignation of our executive director. He was very responsive, understood the issues quickly, provided solid legal advice, and helped to draft and negotiate the severance agreement, which resolved the issue without any additional drama. Very e...asy to work with and if we ever have another employment issue, we would definitely work with David again.

professional, prompt, and detailed

I was referred to David for help with my work contract negotiation, and I’m glad I went with him! He was very prompt in getting back to me for my many questions, which I really appreciated since I had never done this before. He gave me detailed advice on my situation, explained what was reasonable to... ask for, and how to negotiate. I felt like he understood my situation well and what might work best for me. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants clear, straightforward guidance and quick responses.

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.
