David T. Grudberg grew up in Woodbridge, Connecticut. He graduated cum laude from Yale University in 1982, with distinction in History. He received his law degree, with high honors, in 1985 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was Note and Comment Editor of the North Carolina Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif, a legal honor society. He has authored two articles: "Illinois v. Gates: A New Test for Informers' Tips" and "The Safe Roads Act: The Constitutionality of the Roadblock and Chemical Test Affidavit Sections," published in the North Carolina Law Review. After graduating from law school, he served as a law clerk to Judge Ralph K. Winter of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Mr. Grudberg joined the firm in 1990 after practicing in New York City with the law firm of Fischetti, Pomerantz & Russo. While in New York, Mr. Grudberg worked primarily in the defense and appeal of federal and state criminal cases. Since joining the firm, he has been involved in a broad range of litigation in the federal and state courts, including the trial and appeal of criminal, personal injury, commercial, and civil rights cases. Mr. Grudberg has argued numerous appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the Connecticut Supreme Court, and the Connecticut Appellate Court. He is a member of the federal court Criminal Justice Act panel, and has lectured on behalf of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association.
