In 1982, the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey designated David as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney. David has continuously been recertified by the Supreme Court as a Certified Civil Trial Attorney and no other attorney in New Jersey has been certified for a longer period of time.

David is a past president of the Middlesex County Trial Lawyers Association, an active member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum in recognition of his successful handling of million dollar cases. David has also successfully argued important legal issues before the Appellate Division of the Superior Court and before the New Jersey Supreme Court. Working hard and achieving solid results for those injured by the carelessness of others has always been and continues to be his passion.
