About David
David Bouchard built his legal career on two strong academic foundations. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Northwestern University in 2008 and completed his J.D. at New York University School of Law in 2012. Those years shaped the habits he brings to his work: careful analysis, attention to precedent and a steady regard for procedure.
After law school he moved into private practice. Over time he joined Finch McCranie, LLP, where he now serves as a partner. The role demands both client-facing work and firm leadership. He balances case strategy, client counseling and the administrative duties that come with partnership.
Bouchard is licensed to practice in Georgia and maintains an active membership in the Georgia State Bar. He handles matters arising under state law for clients who turn to Finch McCranie for counsel. His background at NYU gave him exposure to a broad range of legal issues, while his undergraduate studies at Northwestern provided a liberal arts perspective on problem solving.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing files and deliberate when advising clients. He tends to favor clear written explanations over dense legalese. That approach helps clients understand the practical implications of legal options. It also shapes how he trains junior attorneys at the firm, where he routinely reviews work product and guides preparation for hearings and filings.
At Finch McCranie, Bouchard has taken on matters that require an ability to move between detailed legal analysis and practical solutions for clients. He spends time meeting with clients, coordinating with co-counsel and working through the procedural aspects of litigation and regulatory matters. His role as partner includes oversight responsibilities, and he participates in the firm’s planning and case allocation.
Outside of casework he keeps current on developments in Georgia law through bar resources and continuing legal education. He has remained an active member of the Georgia State Bar since his admission and engages with colleagues across the state on issues that affect practice. He prefers work that allows him to apply careful legal reasoning to solve problems that have real consequences for clients.
He practices law in Georgia as a partner at Finch McCranie, LLP and focuses on representing and advising clients on matters governed by Georgia law.
