About David
Biography
My practice with individual clients is limited to consensual dispute resolution (settlement) of family law disputes (divorce, separation, premarital agreements), without going to court and without the intervention of third party decision makers. Such processes include working in Collaborative Practice, as Settlement Counsel and as a consulting attorney for a client in mediation.
I also serve couples and families by helping them to resolve their own disputes in private and on their own terms by acting as a neutral mediator.
I help people to reach fair and equitable resolutions that respect the needs of both parents and the needs of their children. I believe that people should have every opportunity to craft their own solutions when their family undergoes a transition. In my experience, this leads to better results and minimizes the emotional anf financial damage that can occur in a hostile and adversarial separation and divorce.

Excellent Mediator
David is an expert, first and foremost. My ex-wife and I hired him to mediate the property-division aspect of our case. David was patience with us and guided us through the process with a steady-hand. I found his fees to be completely reasonable, and staff was very pleasant. Divorce is a difficul...

A lawyer with integrity
David is currently helping me go through a complicated divorce that spans two continents. He is level-headed, intelligent, intuitive and pro-active when necessary. He's brought calm to some very tense moments in my divorce. I am happy to have found him.
