About:

I have been a practicing lawyer in family and criminal law for over 20 years. Primarily, my practice concentrates on family law. My major focus is divorce and child custody. Over the years I have successfully litigated many child custody disputes. I have dealt even further with international child custody disputes and interstate child custody disputes. I went to UCLA for my undergraduate studies where I majored in English Literature and minored in Spanish. I took many classes that focused on film directing and producing as I was very interested in going into film production. I have been interviewed on CBS news regarding the Tiger Woods divorce and have gained notoriety as a result due to the publicity. I have litigated numerous Domestic Violence disputes and have succeeded in reaching a dismissal for most of the clients I represented. I was born in Baltimore, MD and spent many years there as a child before moving to Tustin, California where I currently reside.

"I recently was faced with a child custody and child support case. I reached out to David's office knowing that I couldn't do this on my own and I needed legal counsel. He immediately met with me and after discussing my case with him and hearing his feed back I knew I had the man for the job. Through out my entire case David was very prompt on answering all emails, text and phone calls. David and Wini handled all of my fillings and made this stressful process as easy as possible. What impressed me the most was David's knowledge and expertise in the court room when it was game time. For any family law needs I highly recommend using David's office."

"Poor phone etiquette. Hang up the phone without saying anything when I said thank you. So rude. To reply: your background noise is so loud and my first language is not English. I can’t hear you clearly at all. Maybe you should spend more time explaining patiently and politely on phone, not hang up people’s phone like that RUDE."
