About David

I have participated in 30+ trials as civil defense counsel. I have significant first chair trial experience, and I have obtained multiple defense verdicts. My litigation experience has been in the areas of medical malpractice litigation, nursing home negligence litigation, business transactions, and personal injury.

I provide a broad spectrum of legal services including business law, criminal defense, domestic relations, wills, trusts, estate planning, landlord-tenant, and medical peer review defense.

I also have a deed preparation service. My team of deed preparers have over 50 years of combined experience. I have served a diverse collection of title companies, and I am constantly looking for ways to better serve them. My office typically turns deed requests around in 24 hours and can deliver the documents in Word, PDF and hardcopy. Requests can be received by facsimile or email, and I am currently developing a web based program that will increase efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Review David Weilbacher, Esq.

Outstanding Attorney! Would gladly recommend and/or use again!

Posted by anonymousWed Feb 25 2009

I referred David to assist a family member with a very complex tax issue. Without his expertise and timely response to our need, it is unlikely we would have had a favorable result. He was not only thorough in his explanations of what is the law and how we could apply it to our particular situation, but he constantly took time to ensure we completely understood what the next steps were. Additionally, he consistently set our expectations of the probable outcome correctly. He went above and beyond what we expected, and I would highly recommend David again. As a matter of fact, I referred him to two other clients who also had excellent results from his service. He would be an asset to any person or company in need of fantastic legal advice.”
