My husband and I had to meet with David on a personal matter. When we spoke to his secretary and right off the bat she made me feel uncomfortable, asked me why I was calling in detail and why I needed a meeting, I almost felt like I wasn’t worth her time. I understand she needs to ask some questions to relay the message, but I wasn't getting warm and fuzzy vibes.

Day 1 of meeting. His secretary was yelling at another client (he didn’t schedule an apt, but he was simply dropping something off for a signature) this woman belittled this man right in front of us (new clients) and there was a little bit of confrontation. Ok - still we didn’t want to judge this firm by his secretary, however even my husband was like if you let someone treat your clients like that, it’s not a good sign. We met with David, and he was nice, and reassured us he can come up with a solution.

A month went by, mind you it was during the holidays so I do understand some delay, however there was no communication whatsoever, left things open ended and even after paying him he provided estimated numbers. I missed one call from him, I called right back and he wasn’t available. When I called, his secretary had no clue who I was, so I had to explain my situation all over again, she didn’t know David had called me and left a message and again I had to explain he wanted to talk but I honestly felt like she didn’t care about us whatsoever. Several times she told us he’d call us back and never did. I had to call back every time and explain my situation over again to her. I finally got ahold of David and he again gave me estimated numbers over the phone so
I paid his to essentially plug some numbers in on a calculator and guess. He provided me less than favorable options at this point, but we decided to meet in person so I can better understand. I did have to reschedule the second meeting for two days later and in the meantime I spoke to another attorney who promised he was able to do what David said couldn’t be done. I decided to cancel our meeting and had to eat $500. Like he promised this other lawyer is on top of his game, and I was able to do exactly what I was hoping for! Definitely shop around and go with your gut. He’s not a bad guy, but at the end of the day if you let your secretary treat clients with 0 respect, 0 remorse, and doesn’t even know his clients or cases says a lot about a firm.

Amazingly honest and upfront. You want the real deal, go with David. He gave me honest advice for free.

two words to describe Mr. Semanchik - "professional and classy". I didnt need his services at the time, but never forgot his words of encouragement and follow-through, which made me already feel like a valued client. I need a Patent-Trademark attorney and I'm gonna start by calling him.

His slogan says it all

He is the best lawyer! He gave me the best free consultation over the phone with best advice. Thank you Dave

Great guy always interested in what I have to say
