“This is a tough business. I treat clients like I would want to be treated by listening, understanding, educating and advising.”
A family lawyer since 1986, David Bulitt has been praised as the lawyer who “epitomizes stability and old-fashioned common sense” by Bethesda Magazine.
Family law cases are not the same as business or other legal matters – they are more personal, often incredibly difficult for a client to manage and always life-changing. Married to a family therapist for more than thirty years, David understands the intricacies and delicate balance between legal strategies and a client’s emotional well-being. “I went out looking for a lawyer who would look at the big picture, what was best for me and my family and not just a way to litigate and ‘win’,” a client said recently. ”And I found that lawyer in David Bulitt.”
