David Mace

If you ask David Mace why he became a lawyer, he won’t give you a flashy courtroom story. Instead, he’ll tell you something simple and sincere: he wanted to help people. For David, family law is more than a career, it’s a way to guide clients through life’s rough waters and help them discover calmer, brighter shores.

David’s approach begins with listening, really listening. He believes that understanding a client’s story and their goals is the foundation for creating a legal path forward. Whether it’s untangling a complex custody matter or navigating a challenging divorce, David is driven by the belief that his skills can help improve lives, especially for children.

His guiding philosophy? Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

A Clearview, Washington native, David’s journey started far from courtrooms and legal briefs. He grew up on a small farm, where chores like milking the cow and tilling the garden were a way of life. He earned his AA at Everett Community College, his BA from the University of Washington, and his JD at Georgetown University. Before stepping into law, his first official job was mixing paint at a local paint store, though he started his work ethic much earlier, doing landscaping at twelve.

For 18 years, David poured his energy into a nonprofit legal aid clinic, where he provided critical help to those who needed it most. Outside the office, he’s a proud father of two. He has a deep passion for inclusion and advocacy for children with disabilities.

When he’s not helping clients or championing causes close to his heart, you’ll probably find David reading a good book, enjoying music, or sharing a story from his farm days, yes, cows and all. His mix of compassion, dedication, and practical wisdom makes him not only a trusted attorney but also the kind of person you’d want in your corner during life’s toughest moments.
