About
Smart, Relational, and Effective Bankruptcy and Divorce Attorney.David grew up in the small town of Ahoskie, North Carolina, in the eastern part of the state. After finishing high school, he studied architecture at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. While there, he developed an interest in aesthetics, form, proportion, and design. All these things are instrumental in David's law practice, which, he believes, are to his clients’ advantage. After finishing college, David moved to Charleston, South Carolina, where he spent several years doing freelance architectural renderings and enjoying the beauty of the Lowcountry. After living in Charleston, David shifted gears to attend law school. He saw the law as an empowering opportunity to help others better their lives, so he moved back to his native North Carolina to attend law school at the University of North Carolina. While in school, he developed a particular interest in federal taxation, bankruptcy, and family law. David discovered how much statutes, codes, and regulations fulfilled his need for order and exactitude. Following graduation from UNC, David worked in the chambers of the Honorable Linda Stephens with the North Carolina Court of Appeals. He particularly enjoyed the academic nature of the appellate court. After his stint with Judge Stephens, David clerked for the Honorable Randy Doub with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of North Carolina. His work with the state and federal courts prepared him for work in the private practice context where he has done exclusively bankruptcy and divorce law. During his time in private practice, David worked at firms both in Charlotte and in the Triangle. He advised clients on a wide range of legal topics, including determining which paths a prospective consumer debtor should take when contmeplating filing for bankruptcy, assessing and dividing the marital estate, understanding post-separation support and alimony, and negotiating child custody. Additionally, David has experience with the nuances of the Mecklenburg County court and corresponding local rules. His work in private practice and in the court context has honed his legal writing skills—an indispensible part of client representation. Drafting, editing, and finalizing correspondence to opposing counsel, consent orders, court pleadings, and other out-of-court settlement agreements are central to resolving client matters effectively. Currently, David continues to focus his practice primarily in the areas of consumer bankruptcy and family law. Numbers and spreadsheets are a central and fulfilling part of his legal work. Lastly, David's practice is focused mainly in the Mecklenburg County area, but he will also work throughout the state when needs arise. So, please, do not hesitate to contact him. If he is unable to help you, he is more than happy to offer other options and other lawyers.

I'll start by saying I was not happy to be engaging a lawyer at all; this was something my wife forced my hand on, so I entered into it fairly skeptical and not looking forward to the expense or the adversarial position of our respective lawyers squaring off. That said, I was absolutely elated to find a lawyer specializing in collaborative separation and who firmly believed in it philosophically. David is extremely intelligent, detail-oriented, and brought considerable experience to the table. I felt he struck a good balance between doggedly advocating on my behalf, while also understanding my insistence on fairness and an equitable division of our assets. I would absolutely use him again. If I could change anything it would be for him to be an in-network lawyer for my ARAG legal plan. I highly recommend David if you are considering a collaborative or mediated separation/divorce.
David was the absolute best lawyer for me as I began the divorce process. I knew this with his opening line, “I only do amicable divorces.” He even recommended a lawyer for my ex- husband who he used. David was always the voice of reason, and I have only the highest regard for his character and ethics.
Extremely knowledgeable , professional , courteous , and got the job done.!! Response times via email were almost immediate day or night. Also, what I found most important when searching for legal advice..is honesty !!! David went into great detail of what my charges would be following our consultation . So there were no surprises ! The amount of work he did for the charges was extremely fair . I have since recommended him to several of my friends ....a rare find in the legal profession !!
I've sought legal advice from David on multiple occasions. David was always knowledgeable, responsive and trustworthy. I highly recommend David for your legal needs.
