“David is one of the most knowledgeable and professional attorneys I have ever had the privilege to work with. When it comes to an unusual or expeditious task, he always welcomes the challenge with smile and optimism. If you are looking to work with an attorney who truly demonstrates a “white glove” service, Mr. Byassee is beyond reproach. He is extremely skilled at all matters of tort law both 3rd party and 1st. Mr. Byassee has a proven track record of successful outcomes given his strong strategic assessments and aggressive negotiation tactics. Mr. Byassee has achieved wonderful outcomes on all of my shared matters, and has certainly demonstrated himself as a master of his craft.”

“David provides the “white glove service” expected by a client on every single case. As a Litigation Consultant, I have worked with many different defense attorneys on cases and can say David’s enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism is unmatched and shines through without disappointment. David has a solid understanding of complex litigated cases and I know when I call David for a question or concern related to a case not only is he available, he takes the time to educate on the law and how it relates to the concern/case at hand. David writes detailed reports outlining the case, issues and what the action plan is moving forward. Sometimes the insurance carrier and the defense attorney will have a different approach to resolving a case. David is always willing to understand where the insurance carrier is coming from and advises on any areas of concern or issues that may arise with that approach and always provides an alternative resolution strategy to help bridge the gap and get everyone rowing in the right direction. I have had the fortunate opportunity to attend mediations with David on several cases. David is articulate, prepared and artfully conveys his arguments to the mediator. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from David on every mediation and case. I have and will continue to recommend David as my go to defense attorney as I know the level of dedication and service that he provides is top-notch.”

— Sean Doelle, Claims Consultant at Newfront

David was personable, easy to work with and always reassuring. He was careful to understand the important details of each case, and as a result, developed a theme and course of action to bring about a favorable end. If a legal matter arises in the future, David will be the first person that I call.”

“David is an excellent and well-prepared trial lawyer. I had the pleasure of working with him during a recent trial in downtown Los Angeles and he handled the joint defense themes successfully. Nicely done, David!”

— Jorge A. Martinez, Partner at Taylor Anderson LLP

“I first met David as he was the handling attorney on a very significant personal injury matter involving an amputated leg. My firm and I were brought in to take over the defense of a developer that was being sued and was previously being represented by David. Our taking over the defense was due to a tender of defense. As soon as I looked through the file materials I realized that David was a truly exceptional lawyer who had done a fantastic job of working up the defense on the case. What really impressed me, however, was the fact that David was so vested in the case that even after he was substituted out he stayed in contact with my co-counsel and I and continued to assist us in every way possible since he was so intimately familiar with the facts of the case. David’s handling of the case as well as his ongoing help assisted us in securing a dismissal of the entire case against our mutual clients. This was truly a remarkable result which only occurred because of David’s work and efforts. He and I have remained in contact since that time and we often bounce cases off of each other. I have always found David to be highly knowledgeable, intelligent and articulate. More importantly, he is extremely likeable and personable.”

— Ninos Saroukhanioff, Partner at Morgenstern Law Group

“I can’t recommend David Byassee highly enough. David supervised my work on multiple cases while at Bremer Whyte, and I have only good things to say about him. His knowledge of and insight into both overall litigation strategy and day-to-day handling of litigation matters provides David with a strong foundation for supervising and mentoring civil litigators and for guiding a litigation team. And, building on this foundation, David is able to structure individual attorneys into efficient, effective, and collaborative groups which produce consistently high-quality work. David also deserves commendation for his high ethical standards. David’s guidance with respect to civility and fair dealing in the legal profession have been invaluable, and it evidences the high moral standard to which he holds himself. In a profession where civility is sometimes lacking, David provides a guiding example.”
