David has the knowledge, dedication, and strategic skill to craft novel legal arguments and strategies, and conquer complex legal and factual problems, even when those are issues of first impression. When it comes to David's legal acumen -- there is no comparison. Whether you are a business or an individual looking for representation, I unequivocally endorse David. There is no one else I would trust more to guide me and represent my interests in a time of need."
