About David S. McDonough

David McDonough practices in WSHB's Northern California office, where he focuses on complex civil litigation, construction defect litigation, professional medical malpractice, and consumer rights throughout the state of California, in both state and federal court. He also is a Discovery Facilitator, helping resolve discovery disputes through a program in Contra Costa County Superior Court. In addition to litigating cases, David also acts as a trusted advisor to dozens of companies, working to help them avoid the pitfalls of litigation, and safeguard the companies' futures.

Prior to joining the firm, David handled all facets of litigation involving trust litigation, business litigation, and real estate litigation, including appeals.

David graduated from Saint Louis University School of Law in 1999, where he was managing editor of the Fidelity and Surety Law Journal. Thereafter, David passed the Texas Bar, and worked in-house at the largest rental car company in the United States. He also operated his own firm before leaving Texas for California in 2006.

After passing the bar in California, David was staff counsel for a real estate and development company, handling both complex litigation and several transactions, and then worked for a small firm representing individuals and small businesses throughout Northern California.

Prior to attending law school, David received his undergraduate degree in Political Science at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. When not zealously representing clients, he is active in his church, enjoys playing golf and spending time with his wife and two children.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
