David John Tappeiner

Mr. David J Tappeiner returned to his native town, Santa Barbara, California in 1996 to join the prestigious firm Fell, Marking, Abkin, Montgomery, Granet & Raney, LLP, as a senior associate. He had a distinguished career prior to returning to Santa Barbara, so it was not surprising that he rapidly a...ccomplished a promotion and became a full partner in the firm. My wife and I were fortunate to establish a professional relationship with him shortly after his arrival; we needed legal counsel regarding a business contract. He rapidly demonstrated his expertise in negotiation, business and administration matters as he had been an associate at the prominent Denver law firm, Katz, Look & Moison, P.C., which he had joined after his studies at the University Of Denver College Of Law in Denver, Colorado receiving his Juris Doctorate Degree in May of 2000. Needless to say we were most delighted with his approach and knowledge and the way he successfully resolved the legal issues in a prompt and efficient manner. He proved to be a very wise man with an excellent demeanor and therefore we have continued to depend on his advice and counsel for many other needs. In this day and age of legal specializations it is wonderful to encounter and depend on Mr. Tappeiner for guidance and support with the ever increasing legal necessities of the age we live in. Additionally it is important to emphasize that he has always been quiet generous with his time and his professional services have always been commensurate with his fees! Therefore I am pleased to express my highest recommendation to David who honors his profession as a member of the California and Colorado Bar Associations with excellent work, high professional standards and with a friendly and personal connection.

David Tappeiner made this process very easy. He worked with my wife and me every step of the way. I thought it was going to be a bear, and it was painless. David showed a willingness to listen and came up with creative solutions to our Trust. I should have taken care of our Will, Healthcare Dire...ctive and Trust formation years ago. Glad that we found David and finally took care of important business.
