Dave Badger is a trial attorney whose practice is limited
to bankruptcy – all chapters, consumer and business, and
debtor or creditor. Among the first attorneys certified as a Trial
Advocate by ATLA, Dave is Board Certified as a Bankruptcy
Specialist by the American Board of Certification and the
North Carolina State Bar. A member of NACBA, NAB T, NACTT,
SCBLA, NCATL, and ABI, Dave has served as Chairman of the
North Carolina Bar Bankruptcy Section and been a frequent
lecturer statewide. His Zen-influenced office loft (home of
Target the office cat) and disdain of business attire serve as a
counterpoint to a lawyer who truly enjoys the courtroom.
