"I most enjoy helping to shape the community in which I live and work and helping my clients meet their needs."

Lansdale native David Onorato attended and received his law degree from the University of San Diego after being encouraged by a business law professor to consider a legal career while attending college at Arizona State.

Enjoying the challenge of analyzing the law and applying it to factual situations, David chose to leave southern California and return home to establish his law practice.

An associate and now partner, David has spent more than 20 years at Kerns Pearlstine, concentrating on municipal law and personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. As a former member of the Board of Supervisors in Towamencin Township, including service as Chairman, David brings first-hand experience as a local elected official to his work with the firm's municipal clients.

"As a former township supervisor, it's easier to see potential problems that may arise for our municipal clients. With that experience I can help them avoid legal pitfalls and possible litigation."

Currently admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit the United States, and District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David is also admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of California.

David is a member of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and American Bar Associations, a past president of Montgomery County Trial Lawyers Association, and a member of Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association.

David and his wife, Kathleen are the parents of one daughter, Luci.
