Hired Attorney David Michael Cantor

David Michael Cantors staff of highly respected attorneys have handled two separate cases for me. One, a feloney DUI and the other a license revocation. David Maletta was the attorney that handled my cases for Mr. Cantor. In the feloney case the end result was a reduction to misdemeaner and 3 days in jail vs. a feloney and fOUR MONTHS MINIMUM in prison. The MVD refused to allow me my drivers license after three years revocation Mr. Maletta got me the green light to get it back in less than two

Hired Law Firm

I can't say THANKS enough! The staff at Law Offices of David Michael Cantor were incredible. I filled out a form on their website because I wanted to actually talk to a real attorney about my case. David Maletta is like a legal encyclopedia! Honestly, without his guidance, I don't know what I would have done... I consulted with another firm about my case but they just seemed to talk in circles and it didn't really seem like they knew what they were talking about. Glad I stuck with Cantor! =)

Hired Law Firm

The Law Offices of David Michael Cantor handled my case both professionally and efficiently. The law group, and specifically Jonathan Goebel, fought hard for my rights. Every question was answered, phone calls were promptly returned, and my lawyer was a warrior in the courtroom to protect my best interests. I would recommend the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor to any person in need of legal guidance.

The Law Offices of David Michael Cantor handled my case professionally and thoroughly. I didn't think I had a chance with my Super Extreme DUI but they got the case dismissed. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Hired Attorney Nicholas Walters

I hired Nicholas to handle my divorce after reading positive reviews of the firm, and he exceeded my expectations. His expertise and efficiency were clear from the start, and throughout my case he demonstrated strong integrity and a genuine commitment to following the law. My stress from the dissolution of a once loving relationship was kept to a minimum as Nick made himself available to discuss my concerns. Nick was successful in accomplishing my goal for a fair settlement in an expeditious manner. Very satisfied.

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.
