About the Author

David has spent years working across legal compliance and financial planning, developing a sharp sense for which regulations actually affect everyday people and which ones are mostly noise. He writes about consumer protection, estate planning, and personal finance with the kind of clarity that comes from explaining these things to real people in real situations. His view is that legal and financial topics stay confusing not because they're inherently complicated, but because most coverage assumes you already know half of what you need to know. He writes to fix that.
