About David
Biography
I am an attorney with Sodoma Law where I practice family law. I help clients throughout the Charlotte metropolitan area with divorce, division of assets and liabilities, child custody, child support, adoption, separation agreements, and modifications of custody and support. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and my Juris Doctor degree from North Carolina Central University School of Law. I always strive to provide the highest quality of service while meeting the needs of my clients with the utmost care and courtesy. When I’m not practicing law, I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching sports, and spending time with my wife and two sons, David and Charles.
