Some businesses retain several attorneys, each focused on a single aspect of law. Other businesses retain David, practically a one-man legal department. With more than 30 years of experience and multiple specialty areas, his knowledge rivals that of any legal team.

David joined Levy & Craig in 1998, bringing his reputation for being one-stop counsel. Real estate, business transactions, employment law – he knows it.

“Clients can come to me with their legal questions, and I will have an answer for virtually any area of business in which they operate. There is no learning curve or wait while I research the matter,” he said.

David’s responsiveness and understanding of the law and how it relates to a particular business is what gives clients such as American Sterling Bank, KC Magazine and KC Business Magazine an edge. David quickly develops a comprehensive understanding of how businesses work, as well as their challenges, threats and opportunities.

“With that knowledge, I can help my clients proactively anticipate and avoid distracting and costly legal threats,” he said. “I focus on protecting them, so they can focus on growing their businesses.”
