FIVESTAR REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
  • Chuck Schulman

    - Nov 03 2019 We have relied heavily on David's experience and advise and his knowledge of the law to hel run the business. Additionally, the collection process that he oversees has consistently seen a decrease in outstanding receivables specifically due to his actions.
  • Tim McGarry

    - Oct 31 2019 David is a wonderful mediator who knows how to get cases resolved. I could not recommend him more highly.
  • Kohl Schneider

    - Oct 30 2019 Dave checks all the boxes for being an effective mediator. He collaborates with counsel to make sure the process is efficient and targeted to the nature of the case before him; he is always well prepared; he is patient, but keeps negotiations moving forward; he and his assistant, Lynn, are willing to accommodate you on short notice; and he will tell you what you do not necessarily want to hear about your position with credibility and tact. I have used Dave while representing plaintiffs and defendants, and I think he is one of the best values in town.

  • Victoria Barto

    - Oct 15 2019 Dave was great. Helped with a very emotionally driven construction case. He directed his attention where he knew it was most needed, his knowledge of the industry kept the parties focused on the substantive issues and he persistently followed up for weeks after the initial effort to get the case resolved. Super pleased!

    - Oct 08 2019 Dave has always been helpful in either getting a case resolved or making significant movement such that the case is postured in a manner it can get resolved. Dave flushes out the issues so you know what is important to the other side and you and your client can decide what is important to you.
