After loosing our 5 week old son, we knew something had gone wrong. When we reached out to David and his team, it was of great relief that someone understood my concerns as a mother as I felt heard! David really went out of his way to help us in one of our biggest grieving moments. The hospital we had went to not only failed our son, but everyone who was there to support us along the way. I can not be more thankful with all the quick responses, the detailed emails, the overall compassion I felt along the way. We will forever be grateful to David & his team for bringing justice in honor of our son! Best decision by far, was allowing them to take our case!

Very committed crew! I quite advise to any federal worker. David could be very knowledgeable and helped me solve an employment difficulty which led to an outcome I couldn't have accomplished in any other case. I'm so glad I employed them to represent me!

California is a difficult state to be a medical malpractice plaintiff. You're going to need the best and in my opinion, you could do no better than David Smith. Ours was a complex case, one which other attorneys had rejected due to all the difficulties of prosecuting medical malpractice in California. Once Mr. Smith agreed to take our case, he was like a bulldog! We encountered some serious obstacles and were up against a heartless insurance company law firm that tried to play some ruthless games and (in my opinion) shady legal maneuvers. But Mr. Smith was ahead of them at every step, even as they seemed intent on taking the case to trial. Ultimately, they came to realize that we had a tenacious pro on our side, and they settled. What I can tell you is that I'm not a big fan of attorneys in general, but we really felt like we had a powerful and effective ally in Mr. Smith. It turns out he's a helluva nice guy too!

My consultation with Attorney David Smith was the best consultation I have had with an attorney. He did not have his Assistant call me, Attorney David Smith called me. He gave me the best advise and was very sympathetic. I would recommend him to anyone that has a Medical malpractice --- Wrongful death case.

David Smith was an awesome attorney; he kept me well informed every step of the way. He always clearly and concisely explained the process and offered poignant advice. He was friendly and a pleasure to work with. He achieved exactly what I had wanted with the lawsuit and won a good settlement.

David Smith and his staff were awesome representing me in a personal injury case. He always kept me abreast on all the going ons through emails and telephone contact. He settled my case rapidly and I received the settlement amount he asked for. I would gladly refer this law firm. Cathy

David was always right there whenever we had any questions or concerns. His office staff was always very professional and available as well. It is never an easy journey to decide that a medical professional has missed a diagnoses but David was with us every step of the way. His guidance and insight helped our family feel a little easier about the whole process. He was our friend in the end and a good lawyer.

Top notch lawyers with vast personal injury experience. Handled an admitted liability roll over case for me. Insurer was refusing to negotiate a reasonable settlement. David was successful in negotiating my medical lien by 30% which went straight into my pocket and ultimately made the overall settlement acceptable, even though the insurer was not negotiating in good faith. Had that not happened we were ready to file suit which is ridiculous on such a case. David and his partner Elisa Zitano will take great care of you. They return calls and e-mails and will keep you informed as needed.

My case was a very small one, yet David & Elisa treated it with equal importance as their 'big' cases. I was kept informed of every development. A fair settlement was reached in a timely manner.

David and Elisa were very easy to work with. From the first time I talked with David I felt at ease with his approach to my matter. David was direct yet not forceful. He explained everything to me and my wife as we moved forward with my case as to what to expect, and any matters that arose along the way. I always felt complete confidence in his professional knowledge and actions. I would highly recommend the Smith and Zitano Law firm to anyone who would ask me for an opinion. The outcome of my case has no bearing on this review. My appreciation stems from the excellence in which this matter was handled.

And David E, Smith and his Associates proved this for me when they represented me in a dental malpractice suit that I had the misfortune of needing help with. He was Professional to great length and his warm and friendly demeanor welcoming. I was kept current and involved through the whole process of creating our "Case" and I was made comfortable during the scary Depositions. With gratitude to Mr. Smith, I was able to avoid having to go to Court and lose time from work because of the more than fair Settlement I was offered. As you can tell, I was happy with my decision to have David Smith represent me and I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
