Tiffany Iliescu has worked with David as a Legal Assistant for the past 4+ years. Tiffany Iliescu has served as David's legal assistant at various times over the past several years. Tiffany provides support in a number of areas, such as family law, Civil Litigation, and Wills and estate paperwork. She works tirelessly to avoid misconceptions that might cause delays and additional labor later in the case preparation process by being able to answer any questions before carrying out the directions provided by the lawyer. A fair dose of perfectionism is not only desired but nearly expected, given the level of accuracy and painstaking precision needed to present a case. Tiffany perfectionism ensures that all the important pieces of the puzzle that make up the case are gathered, that everything is meticulously organized, and that everyone involved in the case is informed and confirmed regarding the time, date, and location of their court hearings and trials, and that nothing else gets mixed up, misplaced, or overlooked.
