David is a great asset to the Colorado bankruptcy community. He recently participated in an effort among local bankruptcy attorneys urging one of our Judges to adopt a more forgiving approach regarding a serious technical issue that has been harming people in Chapter 13 bankruptcies. Here's what the judge said about this effort: ". . . the Court concludes that the additional information and legal argument advanced by the Bankruptcy Practitioners Group is well-developed and very useful to the Court notwithstanding some duplication. The Court commends the members of the Bankruptcy Practitioners Group for their time and effort as well as dedication to the development of bankruptcy law in this important area of Chapter 13 practice."

I've known David since 1995 when we met in college. We were classmates and became great friends. He is a very intelligent and hard working man. We were friends through college, then law school, and thereafter as we both entered our legal professions. We are both lawyers in different fields. I know him to be a great person with very strong ethics, strong work habits, and thorough legal knowledge. After knowing this man for two decades, I can recommend him without reservation.

I have known Dave for over 15 years and can attest that he is an excellent bankruptcy attorney. Dave's LL.M. in tax law gives him an edge over most if not all other bankruptcy attorneys. Dave goes out of his way to protect the best interests of his clients and is an excellent negotiator and trial attorney. Dave also exudes the highest level of professionalism and ethics.

I highly endorse this lawyer. I've known David for about 15 years. He is intelligent and conscientious, and a superb communicator. Simply put, an outstanding attorney.
Ted Taggart, Chapter 7 bankruptcy Attorney on Feb 2, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. David has proven to be a valuable asset to his colleagues. I can attest first hand as to his knowledge, integrity and dedication to his clients. When conflicts of interest arise for me (thus not allowing me to represent someone,) he is the attorney I seek first.
