Most people have no idea how to find a good attorney.
After more than four decades practicing law in Southern California, David Mains has seen what happens when people choose the wrong attorney — cases lost, settlements undervalued, clients left confused and frustrated.
He created this service because the legal system is complex, and the stakes are too high to leave attorney selection to chance. A television commercial is not a credential. A billboard is not a recommendation.
When you contact us, you speak directly with David. He listens to your situation, draws on 40 years of relationships with attorneys across every practice area and courthouse in the region, and connects you with someone he would trust with his own family.
“I want to comment that I was most impressed by Mr. David Mains who was the attorney representing my daughter and myself in this case. As an orthopedic surgeon, I have had some experience with lawyers and I must say I was most impressed by his professionalism and his capability in the way he conducted himself at this trial. He was very well prepared. Indeed, I was happy with such extremely competent representation.”
— Past Client
“I commend Mr. Mains for the manner in which this case was handled. He did an outstanding job in keeping me informed of events as they occurred and explaining intricacies of the case. His demeanor throughout this case could not have been more professional. Obviously I was pleased with the final disposition. I feel that it is important to "stick to one's guns" when principle is involved and I really appreciate Mr. Mains' work in this regard.”
