A member of the Washington State Bar since 1999, he has dedicated his career to providing comprehensive legal services in estate planning, probate, and elder law. His firm serves clients throughout the region, ensuring they receive tailored guidance for their unique legal needs. David earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1999, following a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Integrated Liberal Studies and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1993. During his time at the University of Minnesota, David gained inexperience as a judicial clerk.

This diversity requires a understanding of both state and federal laws, which he has cultivated throughout his career.
Before establishing his own practice, David held various positions in the legal field, including roles as an associate lawyer and assistant reservation lawyer. These experiences enriched his legal acumen and prepared him for the challenges of running his own firm. In 2015, David served as an associate instructor, where he shared his knowledge with aspiring attorneys. This teaching role allowed him to contribute to the development of future legal professionals, reinforcing his commitment to the legal community. He is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Elder Service Providers and the Northwest Estate Planning Council.
His affiliation with the National Academy of Elder Law Lawyers and the Washington State Elder Law Section further supports his ongoing education in estate and elder law. Outside of his legal practice, David is dedicated to community service. He frequently participates in local events and workshops aimed at educating the public about estate planning and elder law.
