As a former judge and retired commercial litigation attorney, David has seen wealth exchange hands quickly for those that failed to take proper planning steps in advance of threats. "Too often," says Tanzer, "a client will seek strategies to reduce losses only after they are already confronted with a problem. Then, it may be too late, and damage control is all that’s left."
Tanzer places emphasis on advance planning steps before a problem materializes.
"A key part of successful planning is to take necessary steps before a problem arises." Bringing together domestic and international professionals in the disciplines of law, tax and business is an integral part of the planning process.
David was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the American National Trial Lawyers Association (NTLA). According to NTLA, “membership is obtained through special invitation and is extended only to those attorneys who exemplify superior qualifications.” Invitation-only membership is composed of the top national trial lawyers in America, and it’s an honor to be recognized for a lifetime of trial achievements.
Ironically, today, David’s practice is mostly limited to international planning designed to help mitigate against litigation risks. Amongst other planning objectives, this includes asset protection, global asset diversification, pre-migration planning, and offshore investing, to name but a few.
In addition, as a litigation attorney, David won a number of large civil lawsuits and is also a Life Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Top Trial Lawyers in America, a national trial lawyers group, which recognizes milestone financial awards.
Started in 1993, the forum honors trial lawyers ‘whose skill, experience and excellence in Advocacy' have won them verdicts or settlements of $1 million or more. The forum has approximately 3000 members, selected from more than over 1,300,000 attorneys in the United States. David Tanzer is one of only a small number of lawyers qualified as a Life Member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Top Trial Lawyers in America.
David has tried complex civil cases, developing special expertise in business and transactional law, commercial litigation, asset protection, wealth preservation, and international transactions.

After entering private law practice he became a named partner in the law firm of Bjork, Tanzer & Associates, Ltd. in Chicago, Illinois, and then established the law firm David A.
