David has represented clients who have had high conflict custody and parenting disputes, removal disputes, domestic violence, narcissist spouses, contested Guardian Ad Litem investigations, alimony modifications and termination of alimony. Many divorce and paternity matters involve 209A Abuse Prevention Orders, which David has litigated both for and against the issuance of restraining orders in the District Court and Probate and Family Court.

David's experience includes working with parties who have complex financial situations concerning self-employment, and executive compensation packages, including bonuses, commissions, employer retirement contributions, tax deferred benefits, stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchase plans.
