Helping a friend and making new law. David assisted his friend and local entrepreneur Dan Harkins grow his business over the past several decades. He represented Harkins Theatres as lead counsel in a complex—and very successful—antitrust litigation that spanned many years. It involved numerous federal court decisions and published opinions, including the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Harkins Amusement Enterprises, Inc. V. General Cinema Corp., 850 F.2d 477 (9th Cir. 1988), a case that established new law in the Ninth Circuit regarding an antitrust standing issue.

Handling complex, high-profile cases. David has also been involved in numerous other complex and sometimes high-profile cases. One such case was a defamation action he filed against Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy, who, David alleged, had libeled David’s client on Liddy’s nationally syndicated radio talk show.

“I counsel my clients in all matters pertaining to their business and personal legal needs. I save them time, money and worry. I do excellent, cost-efficient work, and I am there when they need me.”
