David has been involved in toxic tort litigation for close to 40 years, starting as a paralegal and continuing through law school and then as an attorney (a number of those years were on the plaintiff side). At CMBG₃, David is the chair of the firm’s Rhode Island asbestos litigation practice where he represents companies of all sizes. Additionally, David advises clients with contract and business disputes.
