David A. Nacht
Experienced, Tenacious Trial Lawyer, Strategist, and Negotiator
David Nacht fights for people throughout their career, from student to employee to executive. Nacht is particularly proud of his efforts to expand due process rights for the accused: whether in the workplace, by federal investigators, or by prosecutors. Nacht’s approach is to listen to his client and put his client, and the client’s career and reputation first. Nacht uses his extensive knowledge of the law to help achieve his client's objectives. The key is strategy and thinking several steps ahead. Fight for Dignity, but don’t let emotions cloud decision-making.

Free Consultation
There is no guarantee that NachtLaw, P.C., will offer a free consultation to every potential client. The Firm will make that decision based on the type of case, our potential interest in the matter, and other factors. Additionally, any free consultation may be more limited in scope than a paid consultation. For example, the Firm may offer only screening to learn more information about the claim without fully reviewing documents, providing comprehensive legal advice, or entering into an attorney-client relationship. The initial consultation intends to allow the Firm to understand the nature of a potential client’s matter and to inform the potential client if the Firm will consider representing the potential client on an hourly or contingency basis. Any information provided by the client during the initial consultation is protected by attorney-client privilege and the information will remain confidential regardless of whether you retain our services. -
Credit Cards Accepted
