David Blansky is a commercial and bankruptcy litigation partner in South Florida at Dunn Law, P.A. who thrives on solving hard problems for businesses, lenders, and investors when the stakes are high and the margin for error is small. A Supreme Court of Florida–qualified arbitrator, New York Part 36–qualified receiver, and former prosecutor, David brings a courtroom-tested, numbers‑literate approach to everything from complex contract disputes and business divorces to creditor’s rights and insolvency matters.
Over the course of his career, David has represented clients in federal and state courts, bankruptcy courts, and arbitral forums, often stepping into messy situations—fraudulently transferred assets, failed deals, distressed portfolios, and judgment‑proof defendants—and finding practical pathways to value and resolution. Colleagues and clients alike look to him for clear-eyed risk assessment, meticulous preparation, and the ability to translate dense legal and financial issues into plain English that decision‑makers can act on.
Endlessly curious about how lawyers actually win (and lose) in the real world, David launched A Lawyer in Florida as a space to unpack litigation strategy, bankruptcy trends, and the day‑to‑day realities of practicing law that no one teaches in law school. His posts range from practical “how to” pieces for newer attorneys—on pattern jury instructions, motion practice, and case strategy—to commentary on high‑profile proceedings such as the Rudy Giuliani bankruptcy, always with an eye toward what working litigators can learn and use in their own matters.
Admitted in Florida and New York, David serves as a trusted resource for fiduciaries and businesses operating in and between these jurisdictions, with particular experience in South Florida’s fast‑moving commercial landscape. When he is not in court or writing for the blog, he mentors younger lawyers, speaks on litigation strategy and professional development, and continues to look for new ways to blend rigorous legal analysis with candid, practical guidance for lawyers and clients alike.
David A. Blansky, the creator of the “A Lawyer In Florida Blog”, is an attorney licensed to practice law in the states of Florida and New York, in addition to multiple U.S. District Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeal and the SCOTUS.
David was born and raised in New York and relocated with his family to South Florida in 2022. He and his wife, Stacey, share two teen boys who do not seem to mind wearing shorts all year round.
Since moving he has been observing some cultural and culinary differences between living and practicing law in New York and Florida. He continues his hunt for the best bagels and pizza in South Florida.
He is now A Lawyer In Florida.
