I highly recommend Dave. He helped with contract review for acquisition, financing, and operation of our manufactured housing communities. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, prompt and proactive. He distilled complex legal items so that we can understand and make a decision. He also stayed on items and made sure things did not fall through the cracks. His approaches were especially helpful for complex transactions involving many parties and procedures. I look forward to continuing to work with him.
