Law, CEO and Chair of the Board, Fowler White Boggs P.A. "David worked with us on one of our practice group retreats and it was my first introduction to him. I was impressed with his broad business development knowledge but particularly with his abiltiy to generate interaction and discussion with our lawyers, so I brought him back several times to conduct additional business development training sessions. The feedback from his programs has been exceptional, and I look forward to finding more opportunities to utilize his skills in other areas of the firm." Jolene Overbeck, Chief Marketing Officer, Hogan Lovells LLP "David teaches partners that the most important part of business development is following through. David helped our laterals to understand that the best source of referrals is found in the office next door and with each one of their partners." Timothy E. Hoeffner, partner, DLA Piper LLP "Once I met David, my business development really took off. David helped me think outside the box while also focusing me on my business plan. Most importantly, he helped me set realistic short-term goals and encouragingly pushed me until I achieved them ... just three years after joining the firm, starting with virtually no clients, I became a partner with a thriving seven-figure practice. David was certainly a key player in that success." Andrew J. Lauer, Esq., former partner, Thelen Reid Brown Raysman & Steiner LLP
