Companies and high-level executives involved in the legal system f

ace an anti-corporate bias and plaintiffs' lawyers who use passion and emotions to drive jurors to render outrageous verdicts. Dave combats these biases by developing creative strategies for motion practice, discovery, and trial that are aligned with the goals and budgets of his clients. Since he began practicing law 20 years ago, Dave has been building a large network of trusted attorneys through his leadership in national organizations such as the American Bar Association's Litigation Section, Forum on Construction Law, and Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources. This network has allowed Dave to litigate cases around the country, utilizing local counsel who understand the idiosyncrasies of judges and juries in jurisdictions outside of Illinois. Clients often come to Dave with cases and other legal matters outside of his expertise; Dave's network allows him to refer these matters to attorneys who are experts in those fields. You can come to Dave with any legal matter, and he will find the right attorney for you. In addition to his busy practice, Dave takes on pro bono cases and shares his knowledge about trial tactics, legal news, and law firm best practices through his social media channels. He also hosts the "Litigation Radio" podcast, sharing tips for litigators on how to develop their careers, win cases, get more clients, and build a sustainable practice.

While attending an ABA Litigation Section conference in Washington this weekend, I learned about civil rights leader Charles Hamilton Houston, who is quoted as saying:

A lawyer’s either a social engineer or … a parasite on society … A social engineer [is] a highly skilled, perceptive, sensitive lawyer who [understands] the Constitution of the United States and [knows] how to explore its uses in the solving of problems of local communities and in bettering conditions of the underprivileged citizens.

This quote (taking from Howard University’s website) is a good reminder that of obligations that I have to make my community a better place and that my legal training gives me a unique skill set to achieve that goal.
