These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“I do not know David well, but the one matter that we worked on together (as co-counsel, per my referral) was fraught with unusual real estate issues, and I was impressed at how quickly he grasped them and dealt with them. He handles both real estate transactions and real estate litigation, which likely is to his advantage in either area. He has been recognized as a Super Lawyer in previous years, and deservedly so in my opinion.”
