David has been with LLDG since his call to the bar in 2012. His practice is dedicated to family law.

He provides expert guidance on matters arising from separation and divorce, including parenting time and decision making (formerly known as access and custody), child support and special expenses, spousal support, and property division. David also has experience with cases involving mobility issues, international child abduction, and inter-jurisdictional support.

In this sensitive area of law, David's approach is to negotiate when possible and litigate when necessary. He helps clients make informed decisions and advocates on their behalf, with a view to reaching the best and most cost-effective resolution for families.

David also has broad experience drafting and reviewing domestic contracts and has litigated at lower and appellate courts, including at the Ontario Court of Justice, Superior Court of Justice, Divisional Court, and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
