Professional Biography

David’s trial practice is diverse, with its core being criminal defense, traffic and dwi defense. It is not uncommon for David to handle some of the area’s most notorious and widely reported serious criminal cases, such as his work with partner Jerry Beaver on the notorious “Little Rascals” case, which resulted in the dismissal of Robert Kelly’s more than 100 separate child sexual abuse charges. Many involve noteworthy local business people and politicians as well as regional and national personalities with matters pending in Cumberland, Hoke County or Moore County, such as David’s representation of national recording star “Jadakiss” on drug and gun charges in Cumberland County which were completely dismissed.

David is known for getting results in all manner of serious drug, theft, property, financial and sex-related cases, he normally is fighting for the hardworking residents of Fayetteville, Raeford, Pinehurst, Fort Bragg, Hope Mills and Spring Lake. Although his felony criminal practice is what is more widely reported in the news, it developed out of his highly respected traffic and misdemeanor practice. David and his team have one of the region’s largest and most respected district court practices where they help hundreds of clients every month in all manner of traffic, DWI and misdemeanor criminal charges as well as domestic violence and related bond reductions and probation violations.

During his almost seventeen years of practice, David has been humbled with some of the practice’s most noteworthy honors. David was named the 2018 Raleigh DUI/DWI Lawyer of the year by Best Lawyers and has been included in the The Best Lawyers in America© listing for DUI/DWI for 2017-2018. David is an “AV Preeminent” rated attorney by Martindale Hubbell Legal Directory, the nation’s oldest and most established lawyer rating service. His AV rating, which is the “highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards”, results from a thorough screening and anonymous voting process of judges and other rated attorneys. In one of the anonymous reviews, an unnamed judge said of David: “[He] is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He has skill, ability and knowledge. He also knows how and when to push an issue and when to let it go. He represents his clients in an aggressive and zealous manner without being overbearing. He is always very professional and is a true gentleman.”

David is admitted to practice and has appears regularly before the United States District Court of the Eastern District of North Carolina and all levels of North Carolina’s trial courts.
