About

I have been practicing law since 1992.  My emphasis has been on representing entrepreneurial businesses.  While in high school, I started a concert promotion business where I bought concert tickets, rented buses and sold "packages" to students to see top flight acts like Elton John, Yes, Grateful Dead, Billy Joel, etc.  I also bought end of season close outs of name brand clothes and sold the clothes at local flea markets, including Sassoon and Jordache brands. Later I moved to Texas and collaborated with an equipment finance company to lease vehicles to businesses.  Until I went to law school, I typically had at least two jobs at a time and sometimes a small business as well.  After law school I received an MBA.  I have been appointed receiver over more than one hundred businesses by courts all over Texas.  The businesses range from dental offices to tanning salons.  From software developers to ranching operations. These court assignments have given me an understanding of certain commonalities to all businesses, as well as a wide range of practical experiences.  My client base is even broader than range of businesses I have been involved in.  I try to deliver excellent results for my client at reasonable prices.  My goal is to establish long term relationships with clients so I can understand their needs and their inclinations as best as I can.  Knowing my clients well allows me to deliver individually tailored services instead of one size fits all.  In addition to helping with business transactions, my staff and I have handled hundreds of cases in the courts of the state of Texas.  If you or your business need help, don't hesitate to call me.

When functioning as a court-appointed turnover receiver to collect on judgments, David is savvy and aggressive. As a business litigator myself, I've had David appointed as a receiver numerous times to locate and seize debtor assets that are hard to obtain outside of receivership. If you're needing the power of a receiver to collect on a judgment, you'll find no one more experienced than David Fettner.

David did a great job. His hard work and persistence paid off. He was outstanding in trial and had a good way with the jurors, witnesses, and the judge. David did everything necessary to get us to trail and when we finally got to trial I don't think their is anyone that could have done a better job. He made a very scary and difficult process better and gave me the strength to follow this collection through to the end.

We have used David Fettner as our counselor for several business litigation and real estate transaction and title issues. David was very dependable and provided sound guidance throughout the process. He was able to help successful close both transactions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend David Fettner and his team.

David Fettner and James Thompson were successful at collecting a debt I thought I would never receive payment on. They are extremely professional and took time to explain things and always listened to my point of view. I highly recommend them.

David negotiated several business contracts on my behalf. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional. He also made the process efficient by being available via phone, email or in person whenever I had a question. This process would've been much more stressful without his expertise and advice. Also he is pleasant and patient in all his interactions. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

I have hated the whole process!!!!!! But David has made a really bad situation, pleasant. His knowledge of the law and his creative methods, ease the pain. He is well respected by his colleagues and has a never give up attitude. This attribute helps in the negotiation process. I would recommend David to my children, if they needed assistance in a legal matter. To me this is the ultimate compliment.

David Fettner and his entire staff set a very high standard of excellence. It is their excellence by which I measure all law firms. Fettner has a wonderful combination of both personal and professional practice that trickles down through his team.

Naturally speaking, those aspects of character, those prominent and eminent, that create the basis for long lasting friendship, also create the tenets of affinity relating to the selection of an attorney. David Fettner is both my very close friend and my very trusted attorney. I, humbly, place any time spent away from my family (which is devoted directly toward my business), as that being valued as a deep premium. David Fettner, whose legal expertise and advice, has been and succinctly is, absolute, in keeping with the goals I seek as a successful business person. The bottom line is that the privilege of having Mr. Fettner as my attorney, provides me with a foundation of confidence, which translates into true peace of mind, relevant and relating to my conduct as a business owner.
