About
Hi, I’m David. I enjoy helping business owners solve problems so they can focus on what they love: their businesses.
I represent clients in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and the District of Columbia in intellectual property and dispute matters.
After a decade of practice, I approach problems with the perspective that comes from having seen various legal issues from all sides.
I was proud that one of my cases resulted in the Virginia Supreme Court creating new law that levels the playing field for homeowners dealing with corrupt HOAs.
I strive to create a unique strategy for each client matter inspired by the client’s particular needs. When I’m not helping clients, I volunteer for a nonprofit that provides job training and community integration opportunities for people with developmental disabilities.
Why I practice law
As an early adopter of the internet, I was fascinated by the challenges that arise when laws evolve in response to emerging technologies, which is why I focus my practice on intellectual property law.
Fun fact
As a former home brewer, I loved defending the trademark rights in the names of some of my favorite local craft beers!
