About David
Biography
I have been a lawyer since 1998, and I handle family law matters exclusively. I handle a variety of domestic cases from child custody and adoption to multimillion dollar equitable distribution litigation. I will aslo handle criminal matters that affect my clients.
I strive to provide creative, aggressive, and effective services to my clients. Practicing in family law takes more than simply knowing the law; it also requires the ability to understand the emotional and human nature of the issues faced by people experiencing a family crisis.
