Top Notch Litigator

I was forced into a frivolous law suit in which the plaintiff was gunning for punitive damages, when it was a simple contract dispute. David and his team presented my case with high competence, they were quick to grasp the facts, and agile at court proceeding. His court room demeanors were professi...onal , courteous, yet effective and powerful. His presentation was concise and punchy! If you must go to trial, he is the best trial lawyer in Colorado Springs.

Fantastic law team and highly recommend!

David and his team did a wonderful job on my criminal case. His office staff is very supportive, professional, and on top of every detail. They responded to my questions with a quick response. If in the future at any time a need arises for legal help, I will without a doubt call David's firm firm aga...in.

Genuine and Caring

David and I worked together on a case for the past 5 years. He worked tirelessly on the case, despite knowing if it would work out in the end. He gave up a lot of personal time just to see the case through. In the end, we were successful and the best outcome was reached. I never felt left in the dark... and always felt if I needed something that I could call without hesitation. It is great to feel that I have an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but cares about his clients and their wellbeing.

Great Lawyer and all around great person

We consulted with Mr. McConkie on a civil matter where some funds were misappropriated prior to a breakup. He was extremely passionate and fought tooth and nail the entire way without once losing his cool. This case was by no means a pocket stuffer but you would never know that by his research and ...preparation that went on behind the scenes. This man could try, litigate, negotiate, and represent you on any case at any time but the ones he is passionate about, as he was with ours, the opposing counsel had better be prepared. This is a first class attorney and an even better person. Should we require the services of an attorney at any time in the future, he will be the only one on our list regardless of the nature of the case. Thank you Sir, it has been a pleasure.
