Testimonials

‘I’ve never worked with a team of lawyers that was more talented and dedication to our case. David Orta is truly incredible to watch in action and unparalleled to any attorney I’ve worked with in litigation. Both in person and on paper, he has a way of taking complex arguments and distilling them into key persuasive components that pave the pathway for your side to win.’
- ‘Both David and his team are easily accessible at any time of day, any day of the week. What sets them apart from many firms is they provide clear, defensible answers to concerns about strategy, and after speaking with David or his team, you’re left feeling more confident and assured about your case and how these concerns will be addressed. They do a wonderful job of preparing for any argument the other side may have. Their witness preparation is by far harder than the questions I faced in the hearing!’
