Claim Your Free Book: What's Keeping You Up At Night? An Attorney's Practical Approach to Real Estate Nightmares (See Link Below)
I love to demystify complicated real estate and financial legal concepts and unwind problems for people who are frustrated with incompetent or dismissive real estate or banking "professionals."
I absolutely hate when people place themselves at a legal disadvantage -they find themselves spinning their wheels, "stuck" when they unknowingly rely on outdated or impractical information and forms found off the "internet." Nothing is worse than when people unwittingly base their decisions off of the "outside chatter" of people they hardly know, (or worse, friends or family members) who are NOT licensed attorneys and have no "skin in the game."
For the above reasons, I actively write, publish and create books, articles, podcasts, slide presentations and newsletters -all designed to simplify complicated legal concepts related to real estate and finance. I strive to make these user -friendly and practical legal resources and so that a person with legal concerns can understand how to reduce their legal liability and financial exposure in the real estate and debt arenas.
I am a hands-on real estate and finance attorney with over 27 years of experience. I successfully represent clients with issues concerning defaulted loans, mortgage servicing, rehabilitative real estate/loan workouts, land contracts, residential and commercial leases along with and complex loss mitigation for both commercial and residential loans.
As a "former bank insider" and real estate lawyer, I am a seasoned veteran in commercial and residential loan servicing and property disposition. I've been responsible for the well over a billion dollars in property transactions and have a unique practical working knowledge of both federal and state lending and servicing laws.
I maintain a powerful network of expert attorneys, real estate, banking and / or financial executives with both regional and national reach. I believe in providing quality communication, affordable pricing, and realistic options for resolving nagging legal issues.

He is countable !
We had a very tough eviction case. We had been interviewed multiple lawyers and did not find the one who can fit our need. Then we found David. He listened (not just hearing) our case and asked critical details. He efficiently prepared the case for our 2 days later hearing. After he met and talked...

Replied last November 10, 2016Thank you for your kind words Michelle. I know 'land lording' can be frustrating and I prefer not having clients go this route, but an eviction action, done properly, is an excellent arrow in a landlord's quiver. Best of luck to both of you. David
