David Russotto

David Russotto began his legal career as an attorney with the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps. He was stationed at Naval Base Norfolk as Defense Counsel and then as Trial Counsel and Legal Services Attorney at Naval Air Station Oceana. After attending Staff Judge Advocate School, David went on to work as staff Judge Advocate at FCTCLANT Dam Neck in Virginia Beach, providing legal advice to the base commander. In 1991, he went into private practice and in 2000, Mr. Russotto helped found Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban. David’s long familiarity with the military and respect for the sacrifices made by U.S. veterans has been instrumental in his decision to represent disabled veterans and their families. Up until June 2007, veterans were not permitted to engage the services of an attorney to apply for benefits. Today, attorneys may be retained by applicants who have been turned down or received an unsatisfactory level of benefits and wish to appeal the VA’s decision. For these reasons, David champions the interests of veterans across the United States. He is a Department of Veteran Affairs accredited attorney and is admitted to practice before the Court of Appeals for Veteran Claims (CAVC), Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit Court and the North Carolina Bar. He is a member of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates (NOVA), Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims Bar Association, North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) and the North Carolina State Bar Association. In 2000, David helped to form Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban with a specific goal – to help people seriously injured in car, truck and motorcycle accidents, and wrongful death and other cases where he fights for full compensation to help clients rebuild their lives. The law firm of Marcari, Russotto, Spencer and Balaban are exceptional. They are not your typical law firm. They pay very close attention the finest details and to your case in every manner. What makes them stand out. Is the fact they truly care about you. Not the case but you as a person. Remember these cases take a while to complete and law firms that promise you quick results – lie. This firm take their timer to ensure proper end results. – D. Goldberg
