DAVID BECK
Litigator

David is a litigator who brings substantial courtroom experience and a strategic, hands-on approach to developing and advancing cases. Before entering private practice, he served as an Assistant State’s Attorney with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in Chicago, where he prosecuted felony and misdemeanor cases, litigated preliminary hearings and motions, and handled matters from initial charging decisions through trial or negotiated resolution. David also worked closely with victims and law enforcement, experiences that enhance his skills as an empathic counselor. David’s work as an Assistant State’s Attorney sharpened his ability to assess the strengths and challenges of a case, develop and evaluate evidence, prepare witnesses, and work closely with investigators to build compelling cases—skills he brings to representing clients in complex commercial litigation.

David’s experience spans several divisions of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, including prosecuting felony cases in the juvenile justice division, evaluating evidence and making charging decisions in felony review, and litigating DUI and other misdemeanor traffic matters. Initially, as a law clerk with the office, he assisted with complex investigations and the review of felony cases, including post-conviction matters.

During law school, David worked as a law clerk in the Appeals Division of the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office in New Orleans, where he conducted legal research and drafted memoranda, briefs, and other court documents. He also served as Online Editor of the Loyola Law Review and was a member of the Moot Court and Trial Advocacy teams.
