In all honesty, and I truly mean this, David saved my family’s life.

My husband is a veteran who suffered a severe PTSD episode that led to an altercation where several individuals were tragically injured. One of the victims sustained permanent injuries that he will never recover from. Our family is, and always will be, devastated by the circumstances surrounding my husband’s PTSD attack.

David is not a medical professional, and he never claimed to be. But he was open, willing, and committed to educating himself about PTSD as it related to my husband’s case. He brought in multiple doctors and mental health professionals to thoroughly evaluate and demonstrate that this was, in fact, a PTSD episode, not a malicious or intentional act.

Given the severity of the injuries, we were fully prepared for my husband to face up to 15 years in prison.

Instead, he received one year.

David stepped into an incredibly unique and complex case and handled it with skill and determination. This case spanned nearly two years. Throughout that entire time, David was compassionate, but also direct and honest. He says things exactly as they are, and while that can be difficult to hear when you are emotionally involved, it is exactly what you need in an attorney.

I questioned many things in the beginning, as any emotionally overwhelmed, protective wife might. David prefers to be in the driver’s seat, and looking back, I realize I simply needed to trust him. He always had a strategy, and he always knew where he was taking the case.

After the hearing, multiple people in the courtroom approached me and said, “You had an amazing attorney and you are very blessed.” They told me how fortunate we were, because this was the kind of case where my husband easily could have fallen through the cracks and received far more time.

If you’re facing a unique or complicated situation and wondering whether David has experience with something like it, let me assure you, he can adapt. My husband’s case was not common. I’m not sure he will ever have another one like it. But he approached it with dedication and a willingness to learn everything necessary to defend my husband properly.

If your case involves mental health issues, he is especially equipped. After two years of working on ours, he developed a deep understanding of the intersection between mental health and the legal system. He pushed for Veterans Court, something many attorneys don’t even consider, as well as mental health court. He clearly demonstrated the disconnect between the incident and my husband’s complete lack of criminal history.

He presented perspectives and evidence that the state attorney and possibly even the judge had rarely seen, if ever.

After the hearing, when my husband was immediately taken into custody and I wasn’t able to say goodbye, David stood by me. So did others in the courtroom. In one of the hardest moments of my life, I did not feel alone.

David told us he would fight for the best possible outcome. And that is exactly what he did.

I feel incredibly grateful for him. I feel comfortable reaching out to him even now for guidance as we continue navigating this process. He didn’t just represent us he truly showed up for our family.

If you need someone who will fight, adapt, and stand firm in the most difficult circumstances, David is that attorney.
