Bio

Over a legal career spanning more than two decades, seasoned litigator David Mordekhov has handled all aspects of civil cases—both for injury victims and those accused of injuring others. He utilizes this vast experience, along with his compassion and advocacy for clients, to approach each case from a unique perspective.

Wrongful death and catastrophic injuries are David’s primary practice areas; an avid bicyclist, he has a particular passion for cases involving cycling injuries. On the defense side, he also has acted as local counsel for product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in addition to individuals who have been sued for damages arising from car accidents, defective products, premises accidents, and other causes.

When he’s not in the courtroom or serving in the community, David races in Ironman triathlon competitions and climbs mountains.

David was born in Moscow, Russia, and is fluent in Russian.

David Mordekhov is very knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced. He works with you every step of the way. David goes the extra mile to do what's best for his clients. He helped represent my mom, who has a language barrier, and was incredibly accommodating throughout the legal process. Talking to David was very reassuring because this was our first legal matter and we didn't know what to do. David would contact us immediately and give us timely updates and would recommend different options based on how the case was going. Highly recommend David, would consult with him again if another issue comes up.

David is an amazing lawyer and person. He handled our case fairly, expertly, and communicated clearly about every issue and decision point. He was a strong advocate for us and stood for what was right and true. David helped make what was a very emotional and stressful experience manageable and provided calm through his determination and his commitment to use. We are so grateful he was assigned to our case and worked on our behalf. I highly recommend him and would work with him again if needed in the future in a heartbeat.

Besides being extremely hardworking, David shows great regard for others! As someone who is interested in one day pursuing law, I was given the opportunity by David to peek into the world of a civil litigator in a real personal injury case. David's quick responses, kind manner, and genuine care, made it a truly pleasant and intriguing experience!

David Mordekhov is the best car accident attorney that my family had a pleasure to meet and hire. He is a lifesaver. He knows exactly what he is doing, knowledgeable about every step of the process, patient and efficient, takes time to explain every needed detail and address all of the concerns and possible questions that we had. My case was fairly complicated from the very beginning - originally, I started with a different attorney, who turned out to be unprofessional and dropped our case two thirds in the allowed insurance claim time frame without having any progress done - and that's during my continued after-accident therapy. We had about a third of our available time left, packs of bills - and no attorney. We contacted David per recommendation and explained the situation to him. He listened carefully, acquired needed information, and... agreed to take our case. David showed himself in the best light: he quickly took care of our immediate problems, contacted the other party's insurance company, started the settlement process. David was available for a personal meeting, via text, email, and phone every step of the way. David took care of all conversations with other party's, settlement process, and all other matters. We ended up finishing the case early and successfully, purely thanks to David's professionalism and skill. My family is enternaly grateful. David has definitely set the bar high for every other attorney for us. Especially after experiencing the first attorney we had to work with in this case. We will gladly be back to work with David if there's ever a need.
