About David M.
David M. Gottesman earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 1973 after completing a B.A. at the University of New Hampshire in 1970. He entered the legal world during a period of significant change and has kept a steady presence in New Hampshire legal circles ever since. The dates on his degrees mark the start of a lengthy career in law that stretches across more than five decades.
Early in his career he moved into the circles of trial lawyers and civilian advocacy. He is a long-standing member of the New Hampshire Association for Justice and the American Association for Justice. Those memberships, along with his participation in the Civil Justice Foundation, indicate sustained involvement in civil justice matters and trial practice. He also belongs to the Nashua Bar Association, the New Hampshire Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association and the American Bar Association.
Colleagues describe Gottesman as an attorney who has been present in the local bar community for many years. He has connected with other lawyers through bar association activities and local initiatives. That engagement has kept him current on developments across New Hampshire practice while also exposing him to broader national trends through his memberships in national groups.
His professional life centers on work in New Hampshire. He practices at Gottesman & Hollis, P.A., where he is part of the office team. The firm name appears on his office listing and provides his formal practice base. Over the years he has balanced courtroom work and client representation in matters that fall under civil justice and trial law.
Gottesman’s career path shows steady involvement rather than headline-grabbing litigation. He has remained active in bar associations and professional organizations instead of pursuing public office or academic posts. That pattern has kept him close to the day-to-day work of representing clients and participating in the legal community.
At this stage of his career he continues to work in New Hampshire law. His experience and long-term association memberships reflect a practice oriented toward civil justice and trial advocacy. He currently concentrates his practice on civil litigation and trial work in New Hampshire.
