For over fifteen years, I have counseled clients in complex commercial real estate transactions.
I work with real estate developers from start to finish: purchase, subdivision, municipal approval, construction and sale. I have represented clients in relation to zoning variances, municipal ordinance amendments, and appeals of property tax assessments. I have represented clients in both state and Federal Court.
I am licensed to practice law in North Carolina, Virginia and Massachusetts.
Clients have included banks, construction companies, insurance agencies, oil and propane companies, and real estate developers. I draft real estate purchase agreements, deeds, easements, rights of way and other real estate documents and conducted closings for all types of real estate transactions. Additionally, I create covenants for residential and commercial developments and worked with local governments for the approval of real estate development projects.
I am also experienced in all phases of litigation in a wide range of practice areas including banking and commercial lending, construction law, trust and estate disputes, bankruptcy, breach of contract, debtor/creditor, landlord/tenant, and land disputes. I have successfully conducted bench and jury trials in a variety of courts and jurisdictions and have extensive experience drafting pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses and conducting and defending depositions. Over my career, I have appeared in United States District and Bankruptcy Courts and Virginia Supreme Court, Circuit and General District Courts.

Brilliant, effective, supportive attorney
David has helped us navigate everything from personal wills to real estate selling and purchasing as individuals and as a business. He is incredibly sharp, good at explaining things, and provides valuable, trustworthy advice throughout.
"David is thorough in his analysis of cases and presents his cases in a logical, efficient manner. He is a delight to work with, even if he is opposing counsel, due to his rational negotiation style and sense of fair play. He has a delightful sense of humor."
"I've worked with (and opposite) David on many cases and have always found him to be bright, prepared, and a pleasure to work with and against. He has a broad understanding of the law, excellent speaking and writing skills, and I fully endorse him."
