Family law attorney David Zangrilli has dedicated his entire legal career to divorce, child custody, support, and related family law matters. He began practicing family law in 2002 at a respected full-service law firm in Reston, Virginia, and for several years served as co-chair of the firm’s family law department along with Kristina Cruz.
Dave has a reputation in the Northern Virginia legal community as being a formidable opponent, but clients experience him as someone who genuinely cares about them and their future. Dave understands that as a family law attorney, his work will directly and profoundly affect his clients and their families for years to come. He takes seriously his responsibility to help them explore their options and make sound decisions.
Clients frequently comment that they chose to work with Dave as their family law attorney because he provided them with so much information and helped them feel confident about the life-changing choices they were facing. Colleagues remark on Dave’s intelligence and legal acumen; he has a knack for recalling details and legal precedents that make him incredibly nimble and effective in the courtroom. He is also respected for being straightforward and trustworthy.
Family law matters often involve working together with the opposing party as a co-parent for years after the case is over. Dave knows that in light of this, it is usually best for his clients to reach a settlement of their disputes, and he is a gifted negotiator. Unlike many family law attorneys, however, Dave is also a skilled litigator. He is comfortable in the courtroom, and will not hesitate to step away from negotiations and take a case to trial if doing so is in his client’s best interest.
A native of upstate New York, Dave has made his home in Northern Virginia for decades. When not working, Dave enjoys golfing, exploring local wineries and breweries, traveling, and spending time with his two sons.
