My brother and I hired David Sine around October 2008 to represent us in a trust contest issue. We trusted in his ability and expertise, but unfortunately, he disappointed us greatly at a huge expense to us. We went to court and the judge said that if she was to rule on the newer amended trust, that she would rule that it would be invalid and thus be a trust contest (an unlawful amendment) subjecting us to a complete forfeiture of our inheritance ($900,000). We were offered two settlement letters from our older brother's lawyer (the plaintiff) and the 2nd letter we thought was fair, but our lawyer said "my brother Tim did not do anything wrong!" David directly challenged the courts' opinion previously stated to us in Superior Court. David Sine continued the case for another 7 months and shockingly took us to trial, thus, continuing to charge us a large sum of money. Why did you do this David? The Orange County Court already told you to your face that the amendments were disallowed and not legal. By either his lack of legal knowledge in this area or his avarice and greed to continue the case, he cost us over $125,000.00 in lost family money that never should have occurred. He also was over two hours late for a deposition in Newport Beach with the opposing lawyer. I would never ever send my worst enemy to this one-man show lawyer. Last time I looked he was still practicing as a "one man" office. Mr. Sanborne, his old law partner, died approximately twenty years ago, so he is NOT a large or even a medium size law office, he is just a "one-man show". David tries to handle many different aspects of law and this is where we made a crucial mistake in contracting with him. We learned a very hard and expensive lesson in believing and trusting in David Sine. What a mistake! read more
