"David has consulted with me on a few issues and I found him to be very friendly, knowledgable and professional. I recommend him to everyone!"
"David is an amazing professional and a strong advocate for his clients. In a time when fewer and fewer lawyers have any face to face contact with opposing counsel, David communicated with me frequently, openly, and professionally. We may have been opposing counsel, but David's professionalism helped both of our clients reach a positive and satisfying outcome. David sets an example to all lawyers of how to advocate for your client while also maintaining friendly professionalism towards your colleagues in the legal community. I look forward to working with him again in the future."

In addition, his experience in juvenile and criminal matters has, in in my opinion, made him a uniquely well-rounded attorney. I have no hesitation whatsoever endorsing David."

"I recently worked with David as opposing counsel on a dissolution of marriage matter. David tenaciously advocated for his client's interests while maintaining focus on what was best for this particular family as a whole. I believe David truly cares about his clients and their families, and I believe he is an asset to the Denver family law community."
"I have known Dave for the better part of a decade, and cannot overstate the respect I have for him both professionally and personally. Dave is a phenomenal attorney, and is still my go-to sounding board for difficult questions that I am faced with. I unabashedly recommend Dave."
"David is an excellent attorney. He is competent and experienced, and he's also very likeable. It has been a pleasure for our office to work with him, and we would definitely endorse him as an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is extremely professional and handles each case with great care. I have recommended him to several friends...all of which have been thrilled with his representation!"
"I find David to be a very talented lawyer who did a good job in a difficult case advocating vigourously for his client while maintaining his professionalism."
"David and I worked on a particularly interesting domestic violence case. His reputation as a prosecutor preceeds him in the courtroom. He has a high level of empathy for his clients and genuinely cares about the bigger picture of what he is doing for his clients."
