Client Reviews:
Working with David is quite literally one the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. His diligence/understanding with my case brought me so much clarity and comfort even at times where things seemed hopeless. It’s clear that he cares about his clients and the work that he does. He’s more than fair ($$), he’s empathetic, and determined… yet honest, and realistic about his approach. My charges were ultimately left un-filed and I’m now free of that burden (thank God!) I have no doubt that you’re in the best hands if he is in your corner - I’ll forever be grateful for David! - D.C. google review
