About David
Biography
Fighting for justice for injured victims and their families is my great passion as an accident attorney in San Diego. It is also an enormous honor to help an injured individual during one of the most difficult times of their life. I take that responsibility very seriously, and I’ll fight with everything I have to help restore justice to those injured through no fault of their own. My pre-med background gives me insight into understanding just how signifcantly brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, or soft-tissue injuries can impact the quality of an injured victim’s life. I’m proud that our San Diego accident and injury firm has expanded to three offices to better serve my community of San Diego.
In addition to our main office in Mission Valley, we also have offices in Chula Vista and Carlsbad. Please contact me with any questions, or for a free consultation. Se habla español.
Call us at Mission Legal Center. You'll find we are easy to talk to.
