David has expertise in complex business and real estate litigation. He practiced law in California for over 20 years before relocating to Arizona.

He served as in-house counsel for a large commercial real estate developer, brokerage and property management.

He has represented clients in acquisition, development and leasing for retail developments in Arizona. David has extensive experience with landlord/tenant issues including lease negotiation and problems that may arise from non-performance up to and including lockouts. Because of his transactional experience, he is well equipped to negotiate and document troubled assets work-outs or to litigate various real estate matters.
