David A. Blansky is counsel at Moritt Hock & Hamroff LLP, where he helps businesses, lenders, and investors navigate high-stakes disputes and financially distressed situations. David focuses on creditor’s rights, bankruptcy litigation, and commercial litigation. A Supreme Court of Florida–qualified arbitrator, New York Part 36–qualified receiver, and former prosecutor, David approaches every matter with a courtroom-tested, numbers‑driven perspective that balances legal precision with business practicality. His work spans complex contract disputes, business divorces, creditor’s rights, assignments for the benefit of creditors, and other insolvency proceedings.
Throughout his career, David has represented clients in federal and state courts, bankruptcy courts, and arbitral forums. David’s cases often involve challenging issues like fraud, failed transactions, distressed portfolios, and judgment‑proof defendants. Known for his clear-eyed risk assessment and meticulous preparation, he is adept at translating dense legal and financial issues into plain English that decision‑makers can act on.
Outside of practice, David shares insights on litigation strategy and bankruptcy trends through his blog, A Lawyer in Florida. His writing ranges from practical “how‑to” guidance for newer litigators to commentary on high-profile proceedings with a focus on what working lawyers can learn and apply in their own practices.
Admitted in Florida and New York, David serves as a trusted resource for fiduciaries and businesses operating in and between both jurisdictions. Beyond the courtroom, David is active in several bar organizations, regularly presents at continuing legal education seminars and to business groups, and writes about developments in the law. At all times, David’s goal is to blend rigorous legal analysis with candid, practical insight for lawyers and clients alike.
Originally from New York, David relocated to South Florida with his family in 2022. He and his wife, Stacey, have two sons who happily wear shorts year-round. When not in court or writing, he can often be found sampling South Florida’s bagels and pizza in his ongoing quest to match the flavors of home.
