“David worked tirelessly on this case for six years to reflect the truth of how officials failed to make a crosswalk safe in the City of Sebastopol. This crosswalk is used by four local schools and people who live in the town knew that this was a difficult crosswalk to see due to the shadows from tall overhanging trees which were not cut. As a result of this condition, 15 year old Julia Bertoli was struck by a driver who could not see her until the last moment when it was too late. David did an enormous amount of work for this family and expressed compassion, intelligence, teamwork, putting everything on the line for his client and always going the extra mile. For these and other reasons I nominate him for his strong values and dedication to fighting for the rights of others.”

“I just want to acknowledge you and say that what you are doing requires tremendous dedication, focus, spaciousness, surrender, persistence, patience, inner strength, perseverance, belief, a positive attitude and so many other qualities. I see and respect these qualities in you and respect them very much.”
