About David B
David B Kendall walked across a graduation stage at the University of Virginia in 1981, leaving with a bachelor's degree in economics and an eye toward practical problems. He moved on to the University of Richmond School of Law, earning his J.D. in 1984. Those years — classroom lectures, casebooks and study groups — shaped a methodical approach to legal work that he has carried into practice.
After law school he entered private practice. Over time he built a steady practice centered on serving local clients. He is known among peers for a straightforward manner and for handling matters directly and efficiently. He has worked in and around a neighborhood law office model, answering questions, preparing documents and representing clients in proceedings when needed.
His work spans the kinds of tasks that often fall to small-firm attorneys. He prepares pleadings, negotiates on behalf of clients, drafts agreements and appears in court. He balances courtroom assignments with the day-to-day counseling that keeps cases on track. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic; he prefers clear steps over legal posturing. That approach has shaped a practice oriented toward resolving problems rather than pursuing headlines.
He maintains a presence through the Kendall Law Office. The firm operates from multiple offices, allowing him to meet with clients in different communities. He has kept pace with changes in procedure and local rules, and he adjusts his practice to the paperwork, deadlines and hearings that shape ordinary case calendars. He takes on cases that require steady attention and careful timing, and he manages the administrative side of practice so clients know what to expect at each stage.
Outside of court appearances and client meetings, he handles the routine drafting and review that many businesses and individuals need. He prepares contracts, reviews transactions and helps clients understand options when disputes arise. He combines a legal education grounded in economics with decades of practical work, which lets him weigh costs and benefits in plain terms for those he represents.
He continues to practice at the Kendall Law Office, serving clients from the firm's multiple offices and handling the full range of matters that come to a local civil practice. His current practice is focused on providing legal counsel and representation to individuals and businesses through the Kendall Law Office.
