Nobody likes going to the lawyer. Regular folks only come to see us when things are going badly or they are afraid of things going badly. High anxiety! David has a calm demeanor, evident professionalism and depth of experience. He puts people at ease so that their underlying legal issues can be dealt with creatively, effectively and efficiently. David is exactly the sort of guy you need when you are in a jam. Or worried about getting into a jam. That's why his clients love him and his peers respect him.

He has done a great job for all those clients as well.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
David is the lawyer who taught me everything I know about Firearms Law and how to transfer guns to others without running afoul of it. There are other "gun trust" lawyers in the United States, but David wrote the book on them. If you own firearms of any sort, you should be concerned about how they are transferred to someone else. No matter where you are you are going to want to talk to David before you do it. I enthusiastically endorse him.
