Standing shoulder to shoulder with people during the most difficult times of their lives is a privilege and responsibility that drives David. David started his career representing the federal government and wealthy corporations which gave him valuable experience but disconnected him from the kind of legal work that motivates him. David handles trials and appeals for people who have been accused of a crime, injured by another’s negligence, are facing an existential threat to their business, or are going through a divorce. These practice areas have a common thread: people who need counsel to get through life’s most trying circumstances.

David was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa, and graduated from Loras College in Dubuque. Before attending law school, David taught math in the South Bronx through Teach for America. While in law school at the University of Michigan, David was the Book Review Editor for the Michigan Law Review, the Executive Articles Editor for the Michigan Journal of International Law, and the Chairman of the Campbell Moot Court Board. After law school, he joined the United States Department of Justice as a Trial Attorney through the Honors Program and was named the Rookie of the Year for the Civil Division. Before founding Fautsch Tursi, David maintained a litigation practice at the international law firm Hogan Lovells and as a partner at The Weinhardt Law Firm.
