David is a Consultant in our Family team who specialises in advising unmarried couples, including the preparation of Cohabitation Agreements, Pre-Nuptial Agreements, and advising individuals on their rights in the event of a separation. He deals with issues such as whether a home or other assets should be sold, determining shares in jointly owned property, disputes about whether a non-owning former partner should have a share in their former partner’s property, and financial provision for the children of separated unmarried parents. He has an in-depth knowledge of family law and the rights of unmarried people specifically. He is friendly and approachable, realistic, and adopts a common-sense approach, with commercial and tactical awareness. He prides himself on his attention to detail and works constructively with lawyers for opposing parties and those who are unrepresented. David promotes all forms of alternative dispute resolution as an alternative to the court system. He also has a good sense of when it is appropriate to litigate rather than negotiate, however. He understands that his clients are in a vulnerable position and takes the necessary steps to protect them. He has worked for almost his entire professional career in the family law arena, latterly specialising in the rights of unmarried couples, which has become an area of particular interest to him. David enjoys swimming and cycling and long walks in the country with his dog.

    Totally professional, gave excellent advice and guidance. Ellie was always lovely and helpful, making an unpleasant legal journey as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Ellie and the team, who were always pleasant and professional. Although I am living out of the area, I am so glad I used Tozers services.

    Excellent!

    David has been extremely helpful and kind throughout the process of my divorce. I have felt he has always been on my side and fought my corner which has proven invaluable to me especially after having a bad experience with another firm. I was recommended him by a friend and I would now pass on the recommendation ⭐

    The calm amongst the chaos

    Really pleased with the help we received from David at a very confusing and worrying time for us. He was very efficient and acted promptly and his expert knowledge in this area really helped us turn around a potentially awful situation for myself and my family. We had to revert back to David on several occasions and each time he explained things and had a clear plan of action. David was definitely the calm amongst all the chaos and confusion and very impressed by the service offered by Tozers.
