About David
Biography
Prior to becoming an attorney, I spent several years as a music journalist and, then, a publicist in the Northwest. I hold both a Master of Science and Master of Arts degree. I also spent a year in South Korea as a Fulbright Fellow. My years in the music and fine arts industries as an entrepreneur, scholar, and international traveler inform my approach to the law, giving me an insight not achieved by most other lawyers.

David H. Faux's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Experienced, smart, and extremely professional attorney - Dave and I worked together on an international defamation matter involving his fashion-industry client. Dave was clear and concise in case strategy, made quick decisions on which actions we should pursue (and not pursue), and very clearly understood the needs and requirements of his client. Above all, Dave was a pleasure to work with and always maintained his cool, even when we encountered unforeseeable obstructions. We were ultimately successful in our case and, years later, Dave is the one I turn to for practical advice and IP issues in the arts industry. Highly recommended!"
