Clients also note David’s responsiveness and knowledge of the matter at hand, saying, “the level of genuine care that he displays toward us is exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable about business litigation and is always willing to find a cost-effective solution that works within our budget.”
In addition, a California-based client who was challenged with a contentious litigation matter in Texas lauded David, noting he “was the best litigator I have met and I am the largest privately held developer in northern California, having litigated too many suits to count.
