David has got to be the best lawyer I have ever used in my business and once I used him there is no way I will use anyone else! His knowledge and experience is top notch plus he has always been truthful over the years. In every company I have opened or sold better believe he was on my side!!
I'm very grateful for David's services. He was knowledgeable and understanding of our situation. We felt well taken care of and confident in his advice and better judgement. We thank God for everything he's done and how he has helped. We truly felt he treated our case as if it were his own. We will absolutely recommend him to any one needing legal advice.
David Ratowitz resolved and simplified complex financial and small business issues for me. He helped me to understand the benefits of a limited liability corporation for a personal business interest, and ultimately, he set up an LLC for me. He has advised me on real estate matters, and he has drafted and reviewed contracts for my small business, much to my advantage. Attorney David Ratowitz and his staff are accessible, professional, and reassuring to work with.
David Ratowitz was extremely helpful in the closing of our home. We had some special circumstances regarding the sale of a home and the closing on a new home and he navigated the situation perfectly. We were extremely happy with the level of service. David was always available to answer questions and guide us through the process.
I am a Realtor and David and I have worked together on a handful of transactions. Every transaction has been smooth and effective. He and his staff are true professionals and have great communication with all the parties involved. I trust David to handle everything in a timely manner with the utmost professionalism. If you need a bankruptcy attorney, look no further!
David handled a general dispute for us that was outside his core practice. He handled it perfectly.
They were able to help me my mortgage payment through a modification. They also re-did a quit claim deed that was done wrong by another company. Very happy with the out come and their team!
Very unprofessional law group, from the staff to the head of the firm, only robbing from those in need of support, give themthem $ 2100.00 to help me with mortgage modification and when I contact the bank I found out all they did was sent a letter informing of that were representing me and never follow true with any other documentation.
