Biography of David Pisarra

For over 25 years, David has been a family law attorney, primarily focused on representing fathers in custody and divorce cases. Along the way, he founded Union of Dads and Dad’s Law School, organizations that empower fathers navigating family court on their own. These programs teach dads how to present themselves effectively in court, gather and utilize evidence, and build parenting plans that prioritize their children’s well-being. To make this support even more accessible, David also hosts live, one-day events – our DADs Badass Bootcamp – where fathers can develop the skills they need to better advocate for their kids.
