About R. David
R. David Ades studied history at Columbia University and earned his Bachelor of Arts in 1989. He continued his legal education at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1992. Those years shaped a conventional academic path into the New York bar and the practice of law.
After law school, Ades entered private practice. He is listed as a lawyer at the Law Offices of Ades and Associates. Over time he established a practice rooted in New York, where he handles matters for clients in the state.
Ades holds current membership in the New York State Bar. That membership anchors his ability to represent clients before state tribunals and counsel them on legal questions that arise under New York law. He works from his office in New York and maintains an active role in client representation.
Columbia and Cardozo appear frequently on his résumé. Those institutions provided him a foundation in history and law. He applies that background in everyday legal work, combining classroom training with practical experience gained through client work and case handling.
In the office, Ades functions as a general practitioner for individuals and small organizations. He takes on casework, client counseling and courtroom matters that fall under his license in New York. His day-to-day work involves advising clients, preparing legal documents and advocating on their behalf when needed.
As of 2026, he continues to practice law at the Law Offices of Ades & Associates, representing clients and advising on matters governed by New York law.
