David Spears
Trustee
As an Intellectual Property Attorney with Burris Law, David has built considerable experience across a range of practice areas and industries. He regularly prepares and prosecutes patents for clients internationally and domestically in the automotive, refrigeration, sports and fitness, and SMART appliance industries, and has a record of providing sound business strategies for clients and colleagues alike.
As an undergraduate, David was a member of the Michigan State football team where he played as a running back for three seasons. Many of the lessons that he learned under Coach Dantonio — such as commitment, team work and a constant drive for improvement — inspired him to bring the same level of focus to his new path in intellectual property law. From his two engineering internships to his time in law school to his clerkship with Harness Dickey, David brings a passion to accomplishing his goals and leading his clients to success.
