About David
Biography
I have been in private practice for over twenty years and I concentrate in the areas of criminal defense and family law. Prior to my private practice I was an Assistant District Attorney with the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.
I take great pride in my commitment to my clients and the fact that I treat every case as if it is my only case. It is extremely important to me that my clients have complete confidence in me not only as their attorney but also as someone who is genuinely concerned for their best interests and who treats them with compassion and respect.
In all of my cases I always make sure that my clients understand every aspect of their case, that they are kept informed and up to date and most importantly, that they know that I am zealously and relentlessly protecting their legal rights and interests at all times.

Life saver
Was about to get a 3rd speeding ticket infraction which would suspend my license. Not only was it knocked down to a parking ticket, they also took care of 2 of my tickets for one reasonable fee. Thank you

Manslaughter charges dismissed!
It has been two long years but finally my manslaughter charges were dimissed after trial. All I can say is that I was frightened during the whole process because the DA wanted me to go to prison. Even when there was talk of just felony probation it was going to ruin my family and my life. The best...

David knows the law, how to argue with other attorneys and judges to effectively represent his clients. His ability to "think outside the box" to come up with creative ways to win cases is extraordinary. I am always amazed and impressed with the clever arguments he presents and just how effective he is in the courtroom. Even other lawyers tell me how impressed they are with David and that they consider him a formidable adversary, someone they can not trick or manipulate.
