David S. Hamilton
Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate attorney at Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC
I am David Hamilton, a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law by The State Bar of California. I serve as an attorney with the Sandoval Legacy Group, a division of Holstrom, Block & Parke, APLC.
I pursued my legal education at the University of La Verne College of Law, where I graduated second in my class and earned the distinction of magna cum laude. During my time in law school, I held the position of Editor-in-Chief for Volume 36 of the University of La Verne Law Review and for Volume 20 of the Journal of Law, Business & Ethics. Additionally, I represented La Verne Law at the Hispanic National Bar Association's 19th Annual Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition in Orlando, Florida, as a member of the National Moot Court Competition Team.
Throughout my law school career, I consistently made the Dean's List and was awarded the CALI Excellence for the Future Awards for achieving the highest grade in 13 courses. My commitment to legal writing was recognized with my induction into the National Order of Scribes.
Currently, I am an adjunct professor at the University of La Verne College of Law, where I teach courses on legal writing. Outside of my professional responsibilities, I enjoy playing the guitar, reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my family.
