About David
Practice areas
- DUI and DWI: 50%
I focus a great deal of my criminal defense on defending clients accused of OVI. I have become very successful in this area, and have developed a county-wide reputation of aggressive defense of these cases. Please see my Case Highlights for successes in this area.
16 years, 100 cases
- Criminal defense: 25%
As a former assistant prosecuting attorney for 11 1/2 years, the transition to criminal defense work was a natural progression of my evolving experience. I continue defending clients accused of a myriad of offenses, including aggravated murder, sex offenses, felonious assault, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnapping, theft, drug trafficking, domestic violence, RICO, conspiracy, and misdemeanor offenses, including traffic cases. My Case Highlights reveals many of my criminal cases.
16 years, 100 cases
- Personal injury: 25%
I started my career in personal injury when I clerked for Stuart I. Garson & Associates in law school. I continued representing clients in injury cases after law school in all areas, including auto accidents, products liability, premises liability, electrical accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, defective roadway and design, insurance, and liquor liability cases. My successes in this area can also be found in my Case Highlights.
