David has made it his mission to become an authority on DUI defense. A member of the National College for DUI Defense, he is certified in standardized field sobriety tests. He has also been trained in the Advanced Detection of DUI, and the processes that crime labs use to test blood.
Like the officers who patrol the streets, David knows how these tests work – and he knows just how unreliable they can be. In court, he can cross-examine police officers to point out where they failed to follow procedure, or poke holes in a crime lab’s unscientific evidence.
His aggressive trial skills don’t end with DUI defense. David trained with the Trial Lawyers College, an elite program in Wyoming that produced some of the most fearsome trial lawyers in the country. With the Trial Lawyers College, David honed his skills at truly understanding his client’s story and relating that story to a jury of their peers.
Those same skills apply to personal injury litigation, as well. Insurance companies use their money, lawyers, and institutional backing in an attempt to deny injury victims the compensation they deserve. But vigorous personal injury attorneys have the truth of their clients’ stories on their side.
Outside of the courtroom, David spends his free time with his wife, Jacki, and his daughters, or on his Harley. For him, self-care is an open road and the roar of an engine.
Like most bikers, David values freedom and independence. He is proud of the Humanitarian Award he received from the Kitsap Bar Association for defending free speech in Washington and around the country. He has also been recognized by his community as the best criminal defense attorney in Kitsap County for numerous years.
At the end of the day, David prides himself on being a champion for his clients.
And he never backs down in the face of injustice.
