I have known David as a friend for many years and worked closely with over the past few on numerous probate matters. No lawyer is more dedicated or works harder to achieve successful results for his clients. He pursues each case with a passion unmatched in our legal community. David's knowledge and experience with probate litigation makes him a leader in the practice area. Whether in or out for the courtroom, he applies thoughtful, winning strategies that exceed most expectations. Being designated and chosen by his peers as a Super Lawyer pretty much says it all.
