David got his first serious exposure to the practice of criminal law while clerking for his father in the late 1990’s. After completing his education, David has dedicated the entirety of his career to criminal defense.
David has been the lead defense attorney on thousands of criminal cases including assault, drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking, harassment, DWI/DUI, sex crimes, resisting arrest, theft, burglary, robbery, and everything in between. His tireless advocacy has resulted in numerous not guilty verdicts and dismissals.
