About David
Biography
In practicing family and matrimonial law exclusively for the last fifteen years, I have learned many things, but the one that I believe is most important is that ever case and every client is different. And because every client and case is different, each one needs a unique perspective and approach. Because of this, we develop the strategy in every case to get the best results for each individual client.
Making sure my clients get their due.
