David was able to reach a settlement for me when on my own I kept being stonewalled by personnel in higher positions. David started with a 60-day demand letter to this government entity. He followed up when we heard nothing at 60 days. He learned the request had "fallen through the cracks!" He continued to make calls, justifying that I deserved payment of back wages. A settlement finally came, including payment to cover most of his fee. I appreciate that David continued to chip away at what seemed impossible.
Faced with an aggressive former employer, with baseless claims designed to prevent the sale of my purchased company stock, Dave Kresin navigated their persistent delays and we negotiated a settlement that allowed me to sell the stock with the dismissal of all claims.
I highly recommend David Kresin in the field of employment law. David was consistently well-prepared and thorough in managing my case. His knowledge of the law and enthusiasm in resolving the matter was very impressive. He showed exceptional skill in getting to key elements, yet a willingness to dig into essential details. His honesty and integrity in legal and billing matters was exemplary. David valued my time and respected my values and perspectives. His advocacy in supporting the case was outstanding.
David - Was extreemly professional. He and his staff are top notch, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and put everthing in "english". I would go no where else, period.
As a City Manager with over thirty years experience, in four states, I have worked with many attorney's. Becuase of my expereince, with many types of lawyers, I am pleased to recommend Dave to anyone needing his expertise. Dave was straightforward, honest, reliable and knowledgable. He "told it like it is" with me, and those he was working with. Dave was very responsive and without exception answered my questions and concerns without delay. And while I have never hired an attorney based on thier fee structre, I can say that Dave fee's were fair and I feel I recived more than my money's worth. I highly recommend Dave, and while I hope to not need his services again, if I do he will be the one I call.
David Kresin helped me through a very difficult time in my life when my former employer of 24 years violated my civil rights by not hiring me for a part time job that I was qualified for, after I had retired from the City with an unblemished record. Because I was very candid about the organization in my Exit Interview, they violated my First Amendment rights to Freedom of Speech and David was able to make a case against them. While the outcome was not exactly what I had hoped for, the City did settle which indicated that they knew they had violated the law. David Kresin was extremely professional and knowledgeable and walked me through every aspect of the case, both positive and negative which gave me an informed outlook on what direction my decisions should take. I felt comfortable with David and would not hesitate to engage his services again.
Dave helped me in not only reviewing a contract offered to me by my employer, he answered many questions for me. Some that I hadn't even thought of after receiving the contract agreement. I felt that he was constantly looking out for me and my best interest during the entire process, and I would definitely recommend him for those seeking legal advice.
To Whom It May Concern, I would recommend David Kresin with the upmost sincerity to anyone who is in need of an Employment Attorney. I was placed into a position where I was in need of Employment Attorney and Mr. Kresin was just the attorney I was looking for and in need of securing. Mr. Kresin is very trustworthy and knowledgeable in the Employment Law arena. He always gave me options and kept me well informed of the status of my case. He made it very clear to me what my choices were and what the outcome and consequences could be of all choices. He was very intuitive on reading and foreseeing the opposing legal counsel’s direction and was always a step ahead. I hope I never have to use another Employment Lawyer, or any lawyer for that matter, but if I found myself under those circumstance again, I would definitely seek the legal counsel of Mr. David Kresin. Sincerely, Mark
