Clients benefit from David's unique perspective, honed through nearly three decades as a U.S. Attorney, Assistant U.S. Attorney, and state prosecutor. This background allows him to anticipate prosecution strategies and craft robust defenses. His approach has resulted in complete acquittals, deferred prosecution agreements, and preventing indictments for clients facing Department of Justice (DOJ) scrutiny.
In the courtroom, David's litigation skills shine. He has successfully tried more than 100 cases, including securing a full acquittal in federal court. This trial experience, combined with his ability to help clients with grand jury subpoenas and multijurisdictional issues, makes him a formidable advocate for his client’s interests.
David's global perspective, shaped by his work overseas combating crime and corruption, adds depth to his practice. His experience advising on international legal matters, including his role in the Iraqi High Tribunal, equips him to handle complex cases with far-reaching implications.
