Quick, user friendly, great advice

David helped us out with a unique situation and provided advice on what not to do and what to do. He help us pen a cease and desist and ultimately resolved the issue for us.

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.

The best attorney I could ever have!

David was very sharp and knowledgeable. I could not have hired a better attorney than him! He was able to quickly grasp the gist of my case. He was also supportive, patient and kind towards me during the entire process. He was the boss and coworker I wish I had. His professionalism and wise outlook h...elped me achieve the results and justice that I was seeking. I am forever grateful to him for all that he had done for me!!

Diligent, Calm Expertise Resolves Complex Misclassification with Fairness and Focus

I valued David's approach to resolve a complex misclassification issue at the partner level in a growth-stage venture capital firm. His calm and steady approach contrasted with the aggressive style of other lawyers. Through diplomatic skill and careful listening, he managed a high-stakes and emotiona...l dispute, keeping the law as the focus. David’s clear-headed focus and dedication to fairness secured a settlement avoiding litigation, proving his expertise far more effective.

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.

  • 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.
