David Iversen joined E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy, LLP as a “Summer Associate” in May of 2013 after completing his second year of law school. His position was originally for a limited time period spanning the summer months. However, David impressed the partners of E.

David was asked to stay on during his third year of law school and was then offered post-graduate employment at the firm. While working at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy as a student, David was principally mentored by John Harwick and will be following in his footsteps dedicating 100% of his practice to litigation.
While at Albany Law School, David participated in the school’s famed Albany Law Clinic and Justice Center representing victims of domestic violence in the Family Violence Litigation Clinic. David was part of the inaugural expansion of the Family Violence Litigation Clinic representing a foreign orphan in devising and implementing a strategy to navigate immigration law, eventually culminating in a successful application for a green card, as well as, successfully navigating Surrogate’s Court to award a local couple guardianship over the orphan.
David is also very active in the local Rugby community in and around the Capital District. David was introduced to Rugby at Albany Law School where it has been a staple group on campus since 1966 when Professor William M. Watkins founded the team.
