While a law student, he clerked for Wagner and Wagner in Sandusky, Ohio and then Clark and Perdue in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated with Honors from Ohio State in 1990 fulfilling his childhood goal and becoming the first in his family to become a lawyer. His first job as a lawyer was working for George Sarap in Columbus. He then formed a partnered with his friend to form Bressman and Sotak. In 1997, David hung out his own shingle and practices, now, with several lawyers including his oldest son Jedidiah. David married Karen in 1992 and around 1998 Karen became his full-time paralegal.
