David L. Mejias

To succeed in the practice of law an attorney must have integrity, a relentless work ethic, be respected in the courts and understand that the client comes before all else. David Mejias exemplifies all of these traits.

Dave Mejias believes in accountability in business. When he founded Mejias, Milgrim & Alvarado his goal was to bring the best attorneys he knew together to deliver results for the firm's clients. Few law firms can provide the scope of professionalism and experience of Mejias, Milgrim & Alvarado. There is no denying the success of the firm and its partners.

For Dave Mejias the practice of law is personal. His first hand experience in loss has served as his inspiration in the law. When David was 13, he lost his father in a traffic accident that was caused by the negligence of another. His family was financially and emotionally destroyed. David has resolved to do whatever he can to help other people avoid the pain and suffering that go along with devastating loss. There is always emotion and pain, and Dave Mejias understands how important it is to be strategic, pragmatic, and a fierce advocate but always with compassion for his clients.

In 2003, despite overwhelming odds, David Mejias was elected to the Nassau County Legislature where he served three terms. There he led the effort to keep our children safe from sex offenders by sponsoring the toughest Megan's Notification Law in New York State and sponsored legislation implementing residency restrictions for sex offenders.

As a legislator and in the practice of law, David has fought for the rights of victims of domestic violence. He has been recognized by the Coalition Against Domestic Violence for his efforts on their behalf.

He has also been named as one of Long Island Business News "40 Rising Stars Under 40" to watch, and named to the Long Island Press "Power List Hall of Fame" as one of the "All Time - Most Powerful & Influential Long Islanders." David has been honored by Parents For Megan's Law as a "Champion For Children" as well as the New York State League of Conservation Voters as an "Environmental Champion."
