About David

David spends much of his day helping clients work through problems. Some clients believe that he is there as much for therapy as legal advice. A typical day could include discussing leave law issues, responding to a BOLI complaint, drafting employment agreements, or litigating a business dispute.

In law school, David worked in litigation and loved defending businesses and individuals against frivolous claims. David now enjoys helping clients work through difficult issues, whether those are complex employment law issues or defending businesses in litigation.

David is involved in the community and serves on the Board for SEDCOR. He’s also served on the boards for the Salem Human Resource Management Association, the Oregon State Council, and the Marion County Bar Association.

Professional Activities

Off the Job

As a transplant from the Washington, DC area, David has loved the move to the Mid-Valley. He and his wife Melissa met in law school (go Ducks!) and settled in her hometown of Silverton. Together they’re raising five very active kids. In his spare time, David likes to… oh wait, did he mention the five kids? Never mind, he doesn’t have any spare time. When he’s not playing taxi driver, you can often find David outside the office cheering at soccer fields and baseball diamonds throughout the Northwest or waiting outside a dance studio.
