David Bentsen joined Speidel Law Firm as an associate attorney in June, 2009, following his graduation from Willamette Law School, where he was a member of the Law Review and Executive Editor of the Journal of International Law and Dispute Resolution.
David made full partner in 2016.
David has an excellent legal mind for research, writing and legal argument. For example, his 2011 brief regarding the Recall of Mayor Rick Heiberg of Coulee City resulted in the Supreme Court of Washington entering its order supporting our position without requiring the customary oral argument. David has earned the respect and appreciation of clients, as reflected in this client note of March 2012: “Thank you David Bentsen for your help with our real estate purchase. You were a pleasure to work with and very professional. I will recommend your services to anyone needing an attorney’s assistance.”
In 2016, David was honored with the Attorney Award of the Chelan-Douglas Bar Association for outstanding, dedicated and unselfish contributions to providing volunteer legal services to those less fortunate. In 2018, he was recognized by Rotary as the “Changemaker” for the Wenatchee North Rotary Club.
David currently serves as the Secretary of Wenatchee Confluence Rotary Club. He is a past president of the Chelan-Douglas County Bar Association and past president of the NCW Estate Planning Council.
Outside of the legal profession, David is an avid rower and enjoys spending time with his family.
