After graduating law school David worked in a general practice law firm in Lamar, Colorado where he represented clients ranging from court appointed, low-income litigants to multi-million dollar corporations.   After eleven years in southeast Colorado David and his family moved to northern Colorado where he has practice both as a part of a firm and as a solo-practitioner.  

David currently focuses his practice on estate planning, estate administration, probate, business entities and real estate matters.  David has represented hundreds of clients in thousands of matters involving a broad range of transactional and litigation issues.  Additionally David has successfully defended nearly one-hundred appellate cases in the Colorado Court of Appeals.  David is proud that his current and past clients all come from a wide diversity of businesses, banks, governmental entities, municipalities, farm and ranch operations and individuals from all walks of life.  

Outside of the practice of law, David’s life revolves around his wife and six children.  He loves being involved with his children’s activities which include soccer, swimming, dance, theater, church activities and a heavy dose of basketball.  David and his wife also serve as support staff for their boys’ lawn mowing business.  Far and away the question he is asked most often is, “how tall are you?”  The answer is seven feet – even.  The follow up question is often, “did you play basketball?”  He’s proud to have played college basketball for the Seminoles of Florida State University and still enjoys cheering them on.
