David Spector is the Chair of the Fraud & Recovery Practice at Cozen O’Connor. Mr. Spector is an accomplished first-chair trial lawyer who focuses his practice on the investigation and litigation of fraudulent schemes, unfair and deceptive practices and complex commercial litigation. His clients include property and casualty and health insurers, financial institutions, self-insured retailers, and other market leaders operating in the United States.
Mr. Spector’s national work in plaintiff-side fraud investigation and litigation has helped develop case law that enables corporations to recover financial losses caused by fraudulent acts. In such fraud-related matters, he has served as lead trial counsel, which has resulted in favorable jury verdicts, summary judgments, and other positive resolutions relating to all aspects of attempts to defraud his clients, including the performance of unnecessary medical procedures, unlawful and sham ownership structures of healthcare providers, the legality of medical legal referral services, statutory obligations of medical directors, and the submission of fraudulent claims to insurers. He regularly collaborates with clients to develop investigatory methods to identify patterns of fraudulent behavior.
David also spends time on pro bono efforts, such as representing The Human Trafficking Coalition of the Palm Beaches and other community agencies in protecting the rights of human trafficking victims.
