- Zack Dascenzo

Dave is the best. I looked him up and studied his background and I am glad I did. He not only knows the law, he knows how the systems work and he knows the people working in them. I had a long drawn out case that lasted four months and he stuck by my side seeing the process through four hearing and winning the case in the end and expunged the whole incident. Wow who else could have managed that. Life is back on track thanks to Dave and his staff. I can’t thank them enough.
