David L Roth, Attorney At Law

I’m not one to go out of my way to leave good reviews, but I will make an exception for David.
Our business got involved in little argument with the City of Watsonville over some code violations at our shop. Basically, the City came in and gave us some correction notices for some code violations. After spending about 10k to fix the issues, the city came back and demanded we remove some equipment that they actually have us permits to install. We had to fight back to maintain our business.
David is an extremely pragmatic attorney. He took the time to lay out our options, what the different stages would be, what the costs would be at each stage, and what advantages and disadvantages would be to pursue given strategies, and let us make the decisions regarding how we wanted to pursue the case. Basically, David took the time to educate us, which is extremely valuable when dealing with some issue that can have major implications to your business. It helps to provide a peace of mind that enables one to be confident about making major decisions a business can bump into.
I’ve dealt with a few other attorneys who have been more than happy to take your money and not really lay out your options of settling or pursuing a case may be, since they really just want to make the buck without your input.
David always kept his cool when dealing with the opposing attorney, who was not the most pleasant person (IMO). So much, that David actually made the other attorney look like an idiot in court, which can provide a much needed chuckle when dealing with such serious issues.
In that case, we ended up coming up with a solid settlement that both sides considered fair and made both and the City and us happy. That’s really the best you can hope for in a tough situation. We now have excellent relations with the City, thanks to David.
David is a swell guy, easy to talk to, easy to get ahold of, and will help you understand your case, and hopefully even win!
Thanks David!

David defended us in an extremely unpleasant and stressful neighbor lawsuit. We appreciated that he took the high road in every instance. He provided a clear and fair analysis of the options which allowed us to participate in informed decision making along the way. His knowledge of property law and his experience with difficult mediations were invaluable. There is also an experienced litigator in his office. We highly recommend David Roth.

If you are seeking a real estate attorney to protect your property or defend you against the lawsuit than I strongly recommend contacting David. I was so emotional when I was handed the lawsuit against my property from a narcissistic ex-​husband who was determined to destroy me financially, emotionally and spiritually.
I remember calling David and he said most lawsuits end with a settlement. He was clear, direct and honest. While I was so emotional, David made me feel assured that I was receiving expert legal guidance through his solid knowledge of real estate law, and he was flexible with my financial situation. In the end, David was right I settled the lawsuit, kept my home and the crazy ex-​husband stopped harassing me. I’m happy with David’s service!
