SUMMARY
As an associate attorney at Brayton Purcell LLP, David H. Backenstoe represents clients in Novato, California. He dedicates his practice to handling cases that involve the following matters: toxic torts law, tobacco litigation law, personal injury law, animal law , mesothelioma law, litigation and asbestos litigation law.
Starting his career in personal injury, real estate and environmental law, Mr. Backenstoe gained valuable experience protecting the rights of clients and navigating complex cases. He has since shifted his focus to primarily working with victims who have suffered as the result of asbestos and tobacco exposure.
Companies that sell a harmful product should be held responsible. Time and again, Mr. Backenstoe has battled corporations and manufacturers whose products have led to long-term physical damage, including lung cancer. Such illnesses take a serious toll not only on victimsÂ’ health, but also on their relationships, their earning capacity and their enjoyment of life.
With that in mind, Mr. Backenstoe works tenaciously to secure the maximum compensation possible through jury trials and settlements. Treating clients with compassion and respect, he takes the time to understand their goals for the case. As a result, he has consistently helped victims recover funds to cover both quantifiable and emotional damages. Through taking on the legal matters, Mr. Backenstoe enables clients to focus on healing.
Mr. Backenstoe was admitted to The State Bar of California in 1988. He offers free consultations to people who have legal issues in his practice area.
When he is not advocating for clients, he enjoys playing instruments including the piano, AfroCuban percussion and the drums.
