I have been practicing law since 1992. My emphasis has been on representing entrepreneurial businesses. While in high school, I started a concert promotion business where I bought concert tickets, rented buses and sold "packages" to students to see top flight acts like Elton John, Yes, Grateful Dead, Billy Joel, etc. I also bought end of season close outs of name brand clothes and sold the clothes at local flea markets, including Sassoon and Jordache brands. Later I moved to Texas and collaborated with an equipment finance company to lease vehicles to businesses. Until I went to law school, I typically had at least two jobs at a time and sometimes a small business as well. After law school I finished an MBA. I have been appointed receiver over more than five hundred businesses by courts all over Texas. The businesses range from dental offices to tanning salons. From software developers to ranching operations. These court assignments have given me an understanding of certain commonalities to all businesses, as well as a wide range of practical experiences. My client base is even broader than the range of businesses I have been involved in. I try to deliver excellent results for my client at reasonable prices. My goal is to establish long term relationships with clients so I can understand their needs and their inclinations as best as I can. Knowing my clients well allows me to deliver individually tailored services instead of one size fits all. In addition to helping with business transactions, my staff and I have handled hundreds of litigation cases in the courts of the state of Texas. If you or your business need help, don't hesitate to call me.

Professional, knowledgeable and efficient attorney
David negotiated several business contracts on my behalf. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional. He also made the process efficient by being available via phone, email or in person whenever I had a question. This process would've been much more stressful without his expertise ...
"I have been working with David on a case for almost two years now. He has a great depth of knowledge and experience. He is responsive and well organized. He is able to pull up necessary documents from years ago on an as-needed basis and without delay. That's impressive. David clearly knows what to do and how to do it. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse David A. Fettner. Mr. Fettner is an extremely thorough attorney capable of working up complex litigation cases and commercial transactions at the highest level. He is also very skilled at debt collection matters including collecting debts for clients and as a court-appointed receiver."
"I recently worked with David on an off-the-wall case where we were on the same side of the docket. His professionalism, teamwork, and insight helped resolve this matter amicably for all parties. I look forward to working with him in the near future."
"It is a pleasure to both recommend and endorse David Fettner. He is exceptionally well qualified and adheres to the highest ethical standards as a civil and commercial litigator."
"Very creative and hardworking attorney. He is very knowledgeable about many different areas of the law. I highly recommend this attorney."
"I have known David for over ten years. We have worked together on matters and have from time to time consulted each other on difficult questions. David's work is superb and he frequently thinks of novel and creative ways of approaching legal issues and problems that are efficient and effective. I would not hestiate to recommend David to anyone who needed business or litigation legal help."
"Although we've been social acquaintances for some time, it wasn't until recently that I had a chance to evaluate David Fettner's work in any depth. I already knew that he's frequently selected by judges to serve in various court-appointed positions for particularly troubled cases (for example, those involving receiverships), and that's a fine endorsement. But now that we've worked closely together on a sensitive and difficult lawsuit, I can confirm that my impressions from my social contacts with him -- which had shown me that David is razor-sharp and articulate -- are equally as valid in a professional setting. Moreover, I can also now confirm that he is energetic, tenacious, thorough, responsive, empathetic, and fiercely loyal in representing his clients. That's a lot of fine qualities wrapped up in one package, and binding it all together is the most important quality of all -- integrity. I endorse David and his work enthusiastically and without any reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. David Fettner is an excellent lawyer who gets outstanding results for his clients. He handles his cases diligently and with professionalism. It is why I frequently refer all types of business and commercial litigation matters to Mr. Fettner's firm."
