About David
Biography
I have extensive litigation experience and extensive criminal law experience. I honed my trial skills as an Assistant District Attorney and was Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney in Gwinnett County at the time I went into practice for myself. In addition to my criminal litigation experience, I have also commercial litigation and personal injury litigation experience. I have tried over 75 jury trials so if your case belongs in the courtroom, so do I.
I am an attorney that focuses almost exclusively in criminal defense matters, some examples of the types of cases that I handle are listed below:
DUI Charges
Major Felonies
Drug Offenses
along with other criminal defense related issues.
Criminal charges are not to be taken lightly, and with extensive experience in most all of the courts throughout metro Atlanta, you can be confident in having me in your corner to defend you and your case.
