Consulted Attorney David Payab Esq.

David was extremely patient and professional. I had a very complicated case. David kindly guided me through all the procedure and even for the things he's not certain about(outside California law) he'd look it up and teach me how to gather the information I need. Highly recommended!

All my questions were addressed clearly and concisely during our meeting, and I was given great advice on what my next steps should be regarding a legal dispute. Everything was explained in terms that I could easily understand as well. I left the meeting feeling well informed.

Consulted Attorney David Payab Esq.

I needed help getting started on what to do regarding a contract for renovation, and Payab gave me a free consultation where I left with lots of useful information and a number to an attorney that deals more with renovation contracts. Payab took their time to read through the contract. Very respectful and professional person. I would recommend them especially if you feel lost in all the legal jargon.

David is easy to talk to, doesn't waste time, but doesn't rush. He asks you key questions to better prepare you and help you and him understand your situation and potential needs. He is friendly, understanding, and has the right temperament and attitude needed during stressful situations. I feel very comfortable having spoken with him about my needs and am confident in his ability to help me.

Hired Attorney David Payab Esq.

My consultation with David Payab was incredibly helpful. He was very thorough in giving me legal advice, brought up important points I had not thought of even after consulting with other attorneys, and provided me with resources for next steps for my case. He wanted to make sure all my questions were answered, and was very willing to have follow-up consultations to discuss and answer questions after I pursue next steps. He is very kind and patient, and I felt that he really wanted to help me reach the best-case resolution for my situation. I highly recommend David and would absolutely seek legal advice from him if ever needed again.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
