Law Office of David A Owens

I always question the accuracy of service organizations that have few reviews, and whose reviews are all five star. Something’s fishy, and there isn’t enough data to know for sure. Looking at the reviews, I notice they are people who tend to always give great reviews, which to me means either they were compensated or they’re just friends who don’t know what they’re talking about.
I haven’t met David Owens. I can’t. He’s got a Dragon Lady (errr, «office manager») at the door who won’t let me talk to him. The phone number goes directly to voicemail, so Dragon Lady can know whose phone call she’s not returning. Phone calls are not returned, which is the most basic of legal services a lawyer can provide.
Maybe he gives a discount flat rate. Maybe it’s just the easy cases he takes. I don’t know.
I’m a landlord/​tenant attorney, and I handle both sides. A client asked for help, which for an experienced attorney would be shooting fish in a barrel on the issue I have. It’s an easy assignment, which would take a ½ hour to resolve. But Dragon Lady won’t let me resolve it in ½ hour. So I’ll get paid. Owens will get paid. And our clients will pay. In the meantime, we’ll have two additional court hearings, the process will drag on for three more weeks, and neither client will be happy with the final outcome. It’s not that hard to be a good lawyer, and this law office hasn’t shown any willingness to try.
I don’t know whether Owens is a good attorney or not. I can’t talk to him because the Dragon Lady is in the way. For that reason, I’m giving him a second star; call it the benefit of the doubt, or «professional courtesy.» I do know that those five star reviews can’t be trusted.

I worked with the office of David Owen in one eviction case. He was very professional, handled my issue immediately and got me a great settlement agreement with the tenant. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to eviction law and all the intricacies associated with it. He was much more reasonable than I had thought, and things were done in a very timely manner. I wouldn’t wish anyone to have to deal with such issues, but if you do I would strongly recommend David.

David has done three evictions for me in the past 10 years, I can’t think of anybody better than him. It was smooth and successful every time. I thought he was good, but he is better than I thought.
