During law school, David worked for the Greene County Commonwealth's Attorney's office, where he prosecuted a broad range of criminal cases. Following graduation, David clerked for the Hon. Danny C.

David then moved to Washington, D.C. to practice with a large national firm based out of Palo Alto, California, representing technology companies in commercial, securities and antitrust litigation. David then moved to a regional litigation firm, where he practiced in the area of products liability before getting the opportunity to return to Charlottesville.
