Legal Writer & Consumer Advocate

David Blackwood spent six years as a paralegal at a legal aid clinic before discovering his true calling: making legal information accessible to people who can't afford expensive attorneys. He brings a fresh perspective to legal advocacy, having started his career right out of college at a small firm handling personal injury cases, but finding his passion working with low-income clients navigating housing disputes, benefit denials, and consumer fraud cases.

David's writing combines his legal training with his deep understanding of the challenges facing working families. He specializes in explaining complex topics like class action settlements, tenant rights, and consumer protection laws in language that makes sense to people dealing with real-world problems.

Since transitioning to full-time writing, David frequently speaks at community workshops about scam prevention and legal rights. In his spare time, he travels with his wife to the places on their bucket list.
