Satisfying Resolution to a Thorny Situation

I recently retained David Chapman's council to represent my interests. This was the first time I've retained an attorney for anything other than purchasing real estate or having my estate documents drafted. From beginning to end, David's advice was valuable in bringing about a very workable and satisfying resolution to a thorny situation. David and his associates are intelligent, practical and personable. David educated me on the pros and cons of litigating and, based on his advice, we decided to seek a non-litigious resolution. That decision saved me much time and mind share. I hope all attorneys encourage their clients to settle, if both possible and practical, but since litigating often means exponentially higher legal fees, I understand this isn't always the case. Clearly, David is a person who puts his clients' interests first. His office is easy to find (no need to battle traffic in and out of San Francisco) and there was always an abundance of parking. Bonus: Even the coffee he serves is yummy (important during those extended discussions). I hope I won't need him again for a very long time or, better yet, ever. In the meantime, it's reassuring to know where I can turn for top-notch legal advice if/when life throws an unexpected curveball.
