In each case, David was prepared, responsive, and focused on moving the matter forward without unnecessary delay.

Even when our clients’ positions were far apart, he handled the discussions respectfully and worked toward practical resolutions. Based on my experience, David is a competent practitioner who represents his clients effectively and treats opposing counsel professionally."

As a level headed but fierce advocate, David is an asset not just to his clients but to the matrimonial bar in general."
