About David
Biography
You need an experienced attorney for a high conflict divorce case. Custody of your children and a fair division of property are the critical issues to any divorce. My practice is all divorce and family law. You also have the benefit of my experience as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran where I served as a Judge Advocate on active duty and as an infantry company commander and battalion adjutant in the reserves. As an Assistant City Attorney, elected member to City Council, and other public service, I know the dedication it takes to represent people. For our community, my primary interest is in good government and efficient use of public resources. For you as my client, my primary goal is to achieve your objectives and to secure a better future for you and your family.

A real Pit bull!
I was very impressed by David and the results that came out of him representing me in my divorce this past year. He would not back down and fought long and hard for me. I am very thankful and grateful. Thank you, David.
