Referrals & Joint Representation Agreements

David helped explain how I needed to create and start my company from formation to getting investors. He took his time and really worked with us to make sure we were informed. He also stressed we get it right on the first go around as changing important issues later could be costly.

Our office brought David in to help with investment related problems associated with a large client. He was referred to us by another attorney in San Diego. We were told if David couldn’t understand these investments no one could. They were right. He met with us and took his time explaining the best way to handle. The client ended up hiring his firm also. We will be using him again.

A broker had placed my mother's retirement savings in several high risk investments that lost value almost immediately. We weren't aware of these investments until after she passed away. David helped my family recover against the firm and they settled before court date.

David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using countermeasures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity. David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action. David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed. I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot.
