Beginning in 1988, I spent three years with the Seattle-King County Public Defender, handling misdemeanors, civil commitments, and felonies. I then clerked for federal judge William Dwyer from 1991-1992. Since 1993, I have been in private practice, handling criminal cases mostly at the appellate level.

I began handling family law cases, mostly at the appellate level, in 2005. By 2010 they had become a large part of my practice. Most of the cases have focused on issues stemming from divorce, including parenting plans, child support, division of property, and findings of contempt.

I Now Know Why David Was Named Superlawyer

I am a lawyer who needed a lawyer to represent me in my child custody case where the quality and quantity of time that I spent with my child was in jeopardy after a disastrous trial in family court. I therefore was on a mission to find the absolutely best appellate lawyer in Washington State. Upon ...conducting an exhaustive search, I opted for David Zuckerman. My journey with David took us all the way to the Washington State Supreme Court. In the process, David's brilliance was constantly on display through how he discussed strategy and crafted masterful briefs. Had it not been for the fact that the case involved my life with my family, I would simply have sat back and admired his work. Although David faced a formidable opposing counsel, he outmaneuvered and outclassed his opponent so thoroughly that the opponent sometimes resorted to desperate tactics in attempting to retain what started off as an overwhelming advantage over us. David, in contrast, always exercised his great skill with the highest sense of professionalism and civility. When all was said and done, David got me out of the deep canyon that I had fallen into and helped preserve my family. While David has been named Superlawyer for several years in a row as an appellate attorney, it wouldn't surprise me if he is the absolutely best appellate attorney in Washington State. One in need of an appellate lawyer in family or criminal cases will be very fortunate to have David represent them.
