PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION

OVER 20 YEARS OF WINNING COURTROOM EXPERIENCE

As any litigation attorney can attest, only a small fraction of lawyers anywhere have had the exhilarating experience of selecting a jury, presenting opening statements, examining and cross-examining witnesses, introducing (and objecting to the introduction of) exhibits, arguing trial motions and evidentiary issues as the jurors sit outside the courtroom anxiously anticipating the judge's ruling, presenting a spirited closing statement (summation) to a spellbound jury, and - ultimately - rising to hear the jury's  verdict after what often seems like an eternity of deliberations.

The above scenario is one with which Attorney David B. Calender is all too familiar.  For him, the trial courtroom has been a kind of second residence - more so than his office B for many years.  He has taken nearly 100 personal injury cases of all kinds to verdict, with an impressive roster of courtroom victories, and has won a far greater number of settlements during or just before trial.
