David Zobel assists clients with business and litigation matters, primarily in the areas of contract, banking, insurance, real estate, trust and probate litigation, and professional liability and surety defense.
While the majority of David’s clients are small to midsize companies, he regularly counsels individuals, associations, financial institutions, underwriters, sureties, and other insurers. When serving his clients, David utilizes a direct, cost-effective, and common sense approach to evaluate, manage, and timely resolve client risks and claims.
David has experience representing clients in both the trial and appellate courts. Along with Danna McKitrick attorney Jeffrey R. Schmitt, David wrote the brief in Naylor Senior Citizens Housing, LP, et al. v. Sides Construction Company, Inc., et al., a case in which their client prevailed before the Missouri Supreme Court. The case clarified the restrictions imposed upon business entities appearing before Missouri courts.
Outside of the firm, David attempts to golf and enjoys boating at the Ozarks as well as volunteering in his local communities. David was appointed to the Board of Adjustment for the City of Olivette, Board of Directors for the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, and additionally serves as trustee of his homeowner’s association. Prior to joining Danna McKitrick, he served as a legal extern at the Missouri Court of Appeals.
