“I found myself in a complex, commercial dispute requiring the services of a professional lawyer. After many inquiries, I chose David based on his reputation for honesty, integrity and superior work ethic. David proved to me to be competent, diligent, kind, and humorous, with integrity second to none. He promptly returned my phone calls, explained legal issues clearly and placed my interests above his own. David is a genuinely nice person, an exceptional lawyer, and I highly recommend his services to anyone.”

“David has been my attorney since 1998. He has always delivered superb legal services. He is very creative and engages me in strategy sessions to best accomplish my goals. He is extremely committed. In one incident, when we were confronted by unforeseeable maneuvers from our opposing side, he had to work all night, and then meet me very early in the morning to file some papers. I was amazed at his level of service. That level of commitment and caring is rare in today’s world. He is also very honest.

David never quits, and has an innate ability to make any situation better. His abilities inside the courtroom and his council outside the courtroom are priceless. I highly recommend David as a great attorney. It has been a pleasure working with him.”
President, International Consulting Firm

“I have been in business for almost 35 years and have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys in complicated, complex, contractual negotiations and dispute resolution. I am pleased to offer this written testimonial as to the ability of David Gottfried, who has been our counsel for almost ten years.

I can, I have, and I will continue to unequivocally recommend David to anyone in need of sound, logical legal advice in the area of business law and/or contract negotiations or disputes. While David has been extremely helpful in assisting us with disputes and finding creative ways to deal with others, who at times have chosen not to honor their contractual obligations; above and beyond that, is his ability to assist us in deciding which of these disputes to pursue and which to avoid in order to preserve our valuable resources of time and money.

To put it bluntly, sometimes winning isn’t winning. Some of the best advice we have received from David has been to forego litigation and to remain focused on what we do best, running our businesses and making money. David’s ability to bring reason and logic to an issue, coupled with sound business advice and transactional experience have proven to be invaluable over the years.

You would be well served to have David Gottfried as part of your professional team.”
