Uniquely qualified.
Preeminent education and experience representing Florida's families and children.
Decades of proven results in hundreds of Florida family law cases.
Dave attended Yale University (BA, political science, 1999) and Notre Dame Law School (JD, magna cum laude, law review, top-ten overall, 2002).
Dave spent the next dozen years working for some of the biggest and most prestigious law firms in the world, and representing many Fortune 100 companies and their employees, in both civil and criminal matters, in thousands of cases.
Dave is committed to providing the best legal representation possible when people need it the most. The past several years, Dave has focused his practice exclusively upon his true calling . . . helping individuals and families through trying times in civil, family, and criminal matters. Dave has represented clients in literally hundreds of family and criminal law cases, including abused and neglected children and their families through Florida's Guardian ad Litem Program. And regarding the GAL Program's "Defending Best Interests" Program, designed to maximize superior representation of children's best interests in appellate matters, Dave literally wrote the book on it..
A native Michigander (and lifelong Detroit Red Wings and Tigers fan) who has lived all across the country, Dave moved to Florida in 2005 to practice law and be closer to his family. Dave's parents were public school teachers who instilled in him the value of hard work and extreme dedication, at all times, to whatever task is at hand. Those lessons have served Dave well in law and in general. He is the dotingly-proud father of two amazing kids, Zoey (almost 10) and Witt (8).
Together, they constitute the "named partners" of Team "Zwitty," the group of distance runners that Dave coaches in his spare time.
Dave is an accomplished marathon and ultramarathon runner, having run over 50 marathons, including the Boston marathon three times, and over 30 races of 100 miles or longer, including the iconic Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile continuous footrace in the middle of July in Death Valley!)
Dave devotes his full energy and passion to all of his endeavors, whether personal, professional, or family.
