"I endorse this lawyer. David introduced me to the practice of law when he was Chief Assistant I learned much of what I know about how to be a lawyer from David. I was fortunate to have his mentoring when I was a new attorney. David has an extensive knowledge of the law, especially appellate practice, trial practice and ethical issues, which he shares with the greater legal community. I don't know of a more knowledgeable attorney when it comes to the law in all its complexity."
