About David
Biography
An attorney since 1997, Fleck began his career at the U.S Customs Service fighting import fraud.
He moved on to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office’s White Collar Crimes Division, where as a deputy DA he prosecuted felonies and complex financial crimes, including business, real estate, investment, insurance, and loan fraud as well as identity theft, forgery and money laundering for 10 years.
In private practice since 2009, Fleck has represented people and companies in civil lawsuits to recover money and property after their business partners lied to and cheated them.
Major cases include:
Successful recovery of a client’s home after an infamous con artist had filed 18 forged and fraudulent deeds against the property.
Recovery of almost $2,000,000 for a client whose partner used a second set of books to cheat him.
After two successful decades of fighting con artists in court, Mr. Fleck in 2019 co-founded Veritable Data Solutions, Inc. to develop fraud prevention software designed to stop fraud before it happens. Veritable Data’s first product is a smartphone app to be used by notaries to prevent home title theft, and the second product will be used in the construction industry to prevent forged engineering documents.
Mr. Fleck has established himself as a respected educator in real estate fraud. He has provided training and presentations to fraud detectives, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators, the American Conference Institute, the Federal Mortgage Fraud Working Group, Fannie Mae, the National Notary Association, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and major financial institutions. He helped develop and currently teaches the class through which California detectives learn how to investigate real estate fraud.

I fully expect that any client is lucky to have David as their attorney."

The litigation involved many parties, millions of dollars were at stake and parties were willing to lie (and then lie some more) to get to the money. David's consistency, attitude and willingness to push were important factors in pushing the client's litigation goals forward."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is a very sharp and personable attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. If I have a client who finds themselves in need of top notch white collar criminal allegations, I think of David Fleck."
