In securing Damian as counsel you immediately felt a part of an effort to succeed. The process of gathering information, documents, dates, etc. all focused on providing the facts required to prevail in a final ruling. The positive results speak for themselves.

Damian pays attention to every detail and was very informative through the entire process. I do and will continue to refer him to anyone I know. Honest and compassionate, truly one of the nicest people/attorneys I have ever met. In all lines of work, there are some that justify the stereotype, and there are others that do what they set out to do as a commitment to their profession. Damian is one of those people.
Angelo G.
Damian was invaluable in helping me through a very difficult and unexpected lawsuit. He listened, advised, advocated and kept me well-informed throughout the lawsuit proceedings. His confidence and experience put me at ease throughout a very difficult process and I found Damian to be that rare combination of kind, hard-working, and of unquestionable integrity. He was always available to answer our questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekend). If you want an attorney that goes above and beyond, is always in your corner, and treats you like family, I would highly suggest retaining him to represent you.
