WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"David is a lawyer's lawyer and solid in everyway."
"We have a great deal of confidence in his Civil IP work."
"Hands down, David is the best strategic thinker for IP litigation."
"He has superior analytical skills and gets great results."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"My first mentor emphasized client communications – be prompt, succinct, and make sure the client understands how you reached your recommended strategy. As he explained, that is how you build trust and long-term client relationships. For the past three decades, I have worked hard to do just that, even when it means sometimes delivering frank and direct advice that may challenge the client’s thinking about a particular matter. I have great colleagues at Fish, and the teams I work with at Fish have provided me with deep and thorough analysis to all issues in a case – and that permits me to engage with the clients to find the best way to achieve their goals for each matter."
