• Through the Access to Justice Committee, in 2017 we created a Lawyer in the Library (LITL) program, which for the past two years has served up to ten individuals every week, providing free consultations to help participants with potential legal issues determine their appropriate next steps.  The ATJ Committee recognizes that Access is not a one-size-fits-all problem. Since starting LITL, we have offered on-call Spanish interpreters and solicited input from community organizations to better understand how we can assure our program is accessible to all members of the community.  The ATJ Committee has also reached out to partners in the legal community. We have worked with OSB to create opportunity to expand our volunteer roster by applying to become an OSB Certified program; our local lawyers regularly refer participants to the OSB Lawyer Referral Service and Modest Means; we have supported other counties who are interested in replicating the LITL program; and we have worked with the Oregon Judicial Department to create a pilot program to bring access to court documents to rural libraries. Our long-term view is that LITL and access to documents are programs to model and extend throughout the state., 2017

• Regarding lawyer wellness, as President of the Deschutes County Bar Association we created a Social Committee to facilitate both coffee hours and happy hours for the local bar. In addition to providing an opportunity for attorneys who may be adverse on a case to socialize, the coffee hours were particularly designed to engage newer attorneys and solo practitioners to provide a neutral atmosphere where attorneys may feel inclined to talk to more veteran colleagues. We originally worked with OAAP and PLF to engage counselors and practitioners at these coffee hours because we recognized that it was easier for a conversation to develop casually then to make a call to one of these organizations.
• I believe that finding a healthy work-life balance is perhaps the most challenging task of our careers. In my own work, I have focused on incorporating mindfulness-based practices and I teach some of this outside of my day job. In March last year, OAAP provided me with an opportunity to write an article on Breathwork. What came out of that for me is that not everyone has to be doing the same thing, but we are all working to incorporate more balance.

• The trip was an opportunity to visit with attorneys, judges and courthouses – talk shop, dive into the issues and ideas shaping the practice of law in this beautiful part of our state, and of course, share in good company and food. I learned much about the advantages and challenges in both the practice of law and in access to justice across these areas. I’d like to share a few takeaways, common themes and recognize the great work being done in eastern Oregon., Author, Learning from Eastern Oregon Attorneys: an Opportunity to Connect, Oregon State Bar Bulletin, The Legal Profession, 2024

“I have referred several personal injury cases to David and I continue to do so because he cares about his clients and he obtains great results for them. David is active in our local and state bar associations, and he is doggedly committed to increasing access to justice in our community.”

“I have first hand knowledge of the care and expertise David devotes to his cases, and I have seen him achieve extraordinary results. I would trust David to handle my own case or those of my loved ones.”

“Dave is one of the sharpest personal injury lawyers I know. His dedication to clients and achieving the best results possible for is clients is second, to none. Few attorneys in our region have achieved what Dave has in such short order. I would proudly and confidently walk into Court with Dave as co-counsel, or as my lawyer.”
