I was involved in a very nasty legal dispute with family members. Dave not only fought very hard for me, but did so with respect and sensitivity. In the end, he came up with a brilliant settlement agreement for me and I felt fantastic at each step, knowing I had the best lawyer in the room. I can honestly say the work he did for me - PRICELESS!!

Yes we hired this experienced lawyer who fully understood our goals. He is articulate, professional, courteous, friendly and although we have not fully started our journey with him, we have paid an upfront retainer and look forward to getting the results we seek. Look for more reviews after the goals are reached.

I had a brief consultation only needing his expertise on my moms trust. He got back to me right away with his answer and even offered me additional information that was also helpful. He was very nice and professional.

David walked in the room and his demeanor was of a first class attorney. He is intimidating at first but very easy to talk with. This guy walks the walk and knows his practice inside and out. We are imprested and would feel protected in his care and able to return to a normal life enjoying our parents, no more worries. With much appreciation and respect for Mr. Pawlowski. Thank you for the "Piece of Mind".

I started working with Dave in 2013. I live in Orange County but my grandmother's estate was in San Diego county & Dave was able to work with me. From the time we met, I had expressed my thoughts & concerns and explained I was totally new to the probate process. In turn, he was able to explain & break down the process. In my situation I had to do two probates back to back for my grandmother & aunt. I was quite amazed that it only took the amount of time it did. If you're looking for someone to represent you, I highly recommend Dave & his staff. His legal assistant Joan was great to work with as well.

My Mother passed away 2 years ago..A relative submitted a will puported to be drawn by my mom and witnessed by others leaving the her entire estate to this relative..David interviewed, investigated and discovered the will was bogus...I was being cheated out of my birthright..David saved it...He is a special guy. A lot of lawyers are smart..Like the title of this review states... This guy is brilliant

David is highly knowledgeable in estate planning and litigation. His representation of us in a recent lawsuit was essential in resolving a liability we incurred as a consequence of actions we performed under the guidance of a former lawyer. Throughout the period of discovery, David gave us clear and unquivocal guidance re our responsibilities and authority as trustee(s). His vigorous support and attention to detail prepared us thoroughly for the deposition and mediation processes, his cooperation with our malpractice lawyer was exemplary, and his expert advice and dedication to us saved us from financial devastation of our retirement savings.

Yes we hired this experienced lawyer who fully understood our goals. He is articulate, professional, courteous, friendly and although we have not fully started our journey with him, we have paid an upfront retainer and look forward to getting the results we seek. Look for more reviews after the goals are reached.

I had a brief consultation only needing his expertise on my moms trust. He got back to me right away with his answer and even offered me additional information that was also helpful. He was very nice and professional.

David walked in the room and his demeanor was of a first class attorney. He is intimidating at first but very easy to talk with. This guy walks the walk and knows his practice inside and out. We are imprested and would feel protected in his care and able to return to a normal life enjoying our parents, no more worries. With much appreciation and respect for Mr. Pawlowski. Thank you for the "Piece of Mind".

I started working with Dave in 2013. I live in Orange County but my grandmother's estate was in San Diego county & Dave was able to work with me. From the time we met, I had expressed my thoughts & concerns and explained I was totally new to the probate process. In turn, he was able to explain & break down the process. In my situation I had to do two probates back to back for my grandmother & aunt. I was quite amazed that it only took the amount of time it did. If you're looking for someone to represent you, I highly recommend Dave & his staff. His legal assistant Joan was great to work with as well.

My Mother passed away 2 years ago..A relative submitted a will puported to be drawn by my mom and witnessed by others leaving the her entire estate to this relative..David interviewed, investigated and discovered the will was bogus...I was being cheated out of my birthright..David saved it...He is a special guy. A lot of lawyers are smart..Like the title of this review states... This guy is brilliant

David is highly knowledgeable in estate planning and litigation. His representation of us in a recent lawsuit was essential in resolving a liability we incurred as a consequence of actions we performed under the guidance of a former lawyer. Throughout the period of discovery, David gave us clear and unquivocal guidance re our responsibilities and authority as trustee(s). His vigorous support and attention to detail prepared us thoroughly for the deposition and mediation processes, his cooperation with our malpractice lawyer was exemplary, and his expert advice and dedication to us saved us from financial devastation of our retirement savings.

I was involved in a very nasty legal dispute with family members. Dave not only fought very hard for me, but did so with respect and sensitivity. In the end, he came up with a brilliant settlement agreement for me and I felt fantastic at each step, knowing I had the best lawyer in the room. I can honestly say the work he did for me - PRICELESS!!
