I've known David, professionally and personally, since 1999. He is a hard working and experienced professional. It has been my pleasure to work with David on cases and to consult with him as an advisor on my own cases. He is often asked by former clients to delve into civil representation and other areas because his clients prefer to work with an attorney they trust--even in areas where he does not focus his practice.
