About David
Biography
My family law practice is limited to mediation. I enjoy working with clients who are committed to navigating the divorce process constructively, efficiently, and with dignity. Because my job satisfaction stems from helping my clients achieve the best possible result for themselves and/or their children, I never represent clients in a litigated divorce.

Endorsement of Attorney David Magnuson
Five stars across the board. David Magnuson is a very sharp attorney and mediator, and also very compassionate. He helped me with a very difficult custody issue, and I learned that my trust in him was well-founded. He is a great choice for a mediator.
