Smart, Professional, Experienced

I am in-house counsel for a large California company that was recently sued in Massachusetts. The plaintiff's claim involved a legal principle common in the Commonwealth but unfamiliar to me. In my research of that principle, I came across an article published by David. It was clear and concise, and evidenced an excellent understanding of the subject matter. I called David to engage him as my local counsel in the litigation. I was very fortunate to have made that decision. Within mere weeks, the action was dismissed. David is very smart, professional, experienced in local law and practice, responsive, and has very strong judgment and common sense. I recommend him without reservation.

Unreservedly Endorse Attorney Katz to Other Financial Institutions

I am General Counsel for an equipment finance subsidiary of a national bank. I retained David as local counsel in a multi-jurisdictional matter relating to a large lease portfolio purchase in which the lease-originating vendor defaulted in required service and numerous lessees stopped making payments. David provided timely, clear and focused counsel in some of the more pivotal cases we faced. David's successful strategy and tactics were emulated by several of our other local counsel. David worked well within our team, which was comprised of attorneys from different firms and regions, some being rather difficult personalities. I would certainly retain David for the next matter we have in his region and I unreservedly endorse him to other financial institutions.

My records indicate that his first trial before me was in 1986. His most recent case was in Sept 2013.
