David, a LACBA member for 43 years, was a graduate of Loyola University Law School and practiced most recently in Century City at the law firm of Pasternak, Pasternak & Alsbrook. He served as LACBA president in 1997-98 and also served as President of the State Bar of California from 2015-16. Recognition of David’s influence and impact on the practice of law was celebrated in 2018 as he accepted LACBA’s highest honor, the Shattuck-Price Outstanding Lawyer award.  

The LACBA family and the entire legal community across California has lost a leader, an advocate and a friend.  Our condolences go out to his wife Cindy, his children, and everyone who was fortunate enough to have known this kind, decent, and respected man.  We are all better because of David.

Ronald F. Brot
LACBA President
