About David
Biography
Throughout my practice as an attorney, I have had the opportunity to have much experience in several courtrooms in several states, regarding several types of law, ranging from family, criminal, nursing home abuse, labor and employment, medical malpractice, and general civil litigation. As an attorney, I see myself as having two roles: legal counselor and legal litigator. As a counselor, I help people understand their legal rights and how the legal system works. I will assist you through the process, which can often be traumatic and complex. I will help you through the complex legal system as it is unruly for those who do not practice in it every day. I will be your representative and your voice each and every step of the way. Every step of the way, I advise my clients what I am doing and why. As a practice, I offer the “Devil’s Advocate” perspective as well, as it is important to know exactly what to expect in court and/or from the opposing party. I believe that candidness is crucial in an honest working relationship and will ensure that you will be as aware of everything involved in your case as I am. Each case is unique and has to be handled differently, that is the difference you get when I am your attorney.

Fabulous work! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! David handled a collections matter for me. He stayed on top of it and pushed it through the courtroom. He went after the debtor with great vigor and I got my money back plus interest and attorney's fees. I was happy with everything. David is at home in the courtroom and seems to b...
