Dave Stern

Competent legal help, but communication could be more consistent

I hired Dave Stern from Blaney McMurtry to handle a contract dispute with a former business partner here in Fort Worth. My situation involved interpreting a poorly drafted partnership agreement and navigating the resulting breach. Dave's general practice background was evident; he clearly understood the legal principles at play and provided sound, practical advice on our options. His familiarity with the local legal landscape was a definite plus. Ultimately, the matter was resolved without litigation, which was our goal. However, my experience was mixed. While Dave was knowledgeable, there were periods where communication lagged. Responses to emails sometimes took several days, and I occasionally felt I had to follow up to get updates on file progress. For straightforward legal matters, Dave Stern is a capable attorney who gets results. Just be prepared to manage your expectations regarding the flow of information and to be proactive in seeking updates if timelines are important to you.
