Reviews
- I came to Dave in June 2019 when I had lost all hope. No one would listen but he did. He fought for me when I wanted to give up. I could never thank you enough for sticking up for me and helping me through the most difficult year of my life. I will always be grateful. For me this wasn’t just a win, it was getting back a little piece of me and giving me hope.- Sonia Losa. 0/15/2020
- I had a injury claim with my employer for my workers comp being denied, David Holdsworth helped me when No One else would. He went above and beyond to help me with my case and we ended up getting my employers to settle to make things go away and keep it from reaching a judge. David Holdsworth is a Great guy and Lawyer who wont disappoint you.- Ed O'Neill. 8/28/2011
