About David

I was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 1953. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and obtained my BA in Political Science in 1975 from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. I earned my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law in 1978 and associated with my present firm upon graduation. While in law school, I met and married my wife of twenty-eight years. She received her teaching degree from Missouri and teaches kindergarten in the Camdenton schools. We have two daughters who are also graduates of the University of Missouri.

I am an active member of the St. Anthony Catholic Church parish in Camdenton. I have served on the board of the local subsidized housing project for more than 15 years. My interests include golf and Mizzou Tiger sports. In addition to the Missouri Bar, I am a member of the Camden County and 26th Judicial Circuit Bench & Bar Associations.

I have been the City Prosecutor and Assistant City Attorney for the city of Osage Beach Missouri since 1999. In addition, I represent several public ambulance districts and fire departments.

In my practice, I represent multiple homeowners associations and advise condominium boards. I handle commercial and residential property sales and leases, represent property owners in boundary line and road disputes and due to our location at the Lake of the Ozarks, seawall and dock disputes.

My family law practice includes adoption, divorce, child-support, custody, prenuptial agreements, guardianship, conservatorship and paternity cases. I also practice in juvenile court on criminal matters and status offenses. I advise clients on estate planning matters and assist in the probate of decedent's estates. My practice also includes criminal and traffic law matters such as driving while intoxicated and careless and imprudent driving.
