About David
Biography
After having graduated top of my class at St. John’s University School of Law., cum laude, I ignited my law career by joining an Am-Law 100 firm that charged me to work on some of the world’s most complex commercial litigation cases.
During that time, I diligently participated in court proceedings and negotiation sessions which sharpened my strong research and analysis skills, all heavily utilized in my current legal practice of personal injury.
Whether an injured victim is in pain receiving treatment or is in the hospital suffering, I make it a top priority to secure my client the most amount of money possible under the law to pay for their medical expenses, lost wages, physical injuries and pain and suffering. As an advocate for the injured, I do not rest until my clients feel whole again.

Excellent Representation
David Shimonov assisted me with drafting an asset purchase agreement for my LLC. His work was quick, efficient, and superb. I was very impressed with how responsive he was via phone, text, or email. I will hire him again should I ever need legal services in the future.
