Wonderful lawyer!
David not only got me exactly what I wanted in terms of my court case but he is also sympathetic, kind and answered all of my questions immediately through a call or an email no matter what time or day it was. Could not ask for a better lawyer and I highly recommend him.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.
Suspension issued in NY, 2016
updated on 12/07/2017Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
David’s comment:
“Suspension was solely due to a personal tax issue with New York State and had nothing to do with the practice of law. This firm has represented over one thousand clients and there has never been a complaint from a client and no discipline has ever been administered as result of the representation of a client.”
