About David Roy Gans

David Roy Gans Mercer built his legal education across three institutions and finished his formal study of law within the late 2010s. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix in 2013. He then completed a J.D. at Arizona Summit Law School in 2016 and went on to receive a LL.M. in Tax Law from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University in 2018, studying insolvency and property making plans as a subfocus.

Early in law school Mercer sought hands-on courtroom and health facility knowledge. In 2015 he served as a Rule 38(d) licensed restricted practice scholar in both the ASLS Bankruptcy & Consumer Debt Clinic and the ASLS Family Law Clinic. He additionally externed for the Probate Lawyers Assistance Project that year. Those clinic and legal internship placements uncovered him to debtor-creditor matters, family law disputes, and probate practice in actual case settings.

After earning his J.D. he started assembling a private practice presence. In 2016 he established The Law Office of David R. G. Mercer and that same yr held the title of President and Secretary at AZ 3D Law. Over the subsequent years he took on of-counsel roles, joining Moorhead Law, PLC and Urgent Law as an of counsel attorney in 2020. In 2021 he founded Cactus Blossom Legal LLC and remains the owner.

Mercer’s professional memberships monitor his practice areas. He has been a member of the Maricopa County Bar Association since 2014 and joined the State Bar of Arizona Young Lawyers Division and several MCBA sections in 2016. Since 2017 he has belonged to the ABA Family Law Section and the State Bar of Arizona Family Law Section. Between 2016 and 2019 he additionally held memberships in a variety of MCBA and State Bar sections that consist of insolvency, property making plans, probate and solo and small company divisions. For a time he participated in Federal Bar Association sections tied to younger lawyers and bankruptcy.

Colleagues and clients might recognize Mercer for shifting between solo practice and collaborative roles at small companies. His background combines educational study in tax, bankruptcy and property planning with practical clinic work in household regulation and consumer debt. That mix informs how he approaches instances: legal studies grounded by courtroom or health facility experience.

He practices in Arizona and manages Cactus Blossom Legal LLC. He currently handles matters in household regulation, estate administration, insolvency and associated estate planning problems.
