About David
Biography
With a dynamic focus on the practicalities and goals of my clients, I concentrate my law practice in: 1) Dispute Resolution and Litigation and 2) Business and Transactional Law
As a tenacious advocate for my clients, I have successfully litigated in the Federal U.S. District Court, Hawaii’s Circuit and District Courts, and the Intermediate Court of Appeals. My experience in alternative dispute resolution includes mediation and arbitration, both as counsel for clients and as the mediator/arbitrator.
My transactional practice includes the full spectrum of acquiring, selling, and/or operating a business, from handling negotiations and due diligence, to drafting contracts and other legal documentation. I am also often called upon to give legal consultation, providing clients with the legal insight they need to avoid potentially damaging legal issues and achieve successful results.
With each endeavor, I strive to serve under the highest work ethic and professional standards. Mindful of the trust that has been placed upon me, I am committed to achieving the goals of my clients and providing them with practical solutions.

Review of David Squeri, December 18, 2020
I would have given David Squeri 10 stars if that had been an option! Mr. Squeri quickly and expertly familiarized himself with my case, wrote/edited and filed responses while very promptly responding to my phone calls and emails.
