About David
Biography
Dear Friends--
I am a trial attorney and father of two wonderful children.
I believe that in our system of justice people have a fundamental right to competent legal representation, not just a paid advocate. Anything less than that, and our system of justice fails. Our firm regularly handles personal injury, criminal, and family law matters, from inception to completion, whether that be settlement or trial. My partner/brother and I have over 30 years of combined legal experience both in and out of court, that can make all of the difference when it comes to a positive result for our clients. We pride ourselves on our hard work and sincere efforts at advancing our clients legal interests.
What distinguishes us in my opinion, from many other firms is our broad range of trial experience. I have personally litigated cases ranging from among other things, complex criminal cases in State and Federal Court, products liability issues, divorce litigation, auto accidents, contract disputes, bankruptcies, injunctions, and the list goes on. I draw from those diverse experiences every time I am in Court, and they have served me and my clients well over the years.
I invite you to contact me personally anytime, day or night, to discuss your legal matter for a free initial consultation. See if our firm has the experience and drive to take on and win your case.
Sincerely,
David A. Makofka

Cultivated Attorney
I recently hired David to represent me in a contested divorce case. I was impressed with his knowledge as well as his aggressive persistence. He fought for more than I was asking/expecting in mediation...And won! Thanks again! I would absolutely recommend David to my family and friends.

Difficult custody case with ex husband
I hired David in 2011 after firing my previous attorney for not being as "forward thinking" as I am.

He answer...
