Former Presiding Judge William D. Maddux (Ret.) commented, “I have had the privilege of watching Dave develop as a lawyer and I am so proud of his appointment to the DuPage County Judiciary. He is diligent, passionate and even tempered. He lives by the creed: ‘Don’t raise your voice, improve your argument.’ He will make an excellent judge.”
