Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez, Trester LLP

David L Fleck is a partner in the Los Angeles office of Manning & Kass, Ellrod, Ramirez, Trester LLP. He is a member of the Complex Litigation Team and the Governmental Entity Liability Team. Throughout his career, Mr. Fleck's practice has been shaped by two consistent and interrelated themes: law enforcement and stopping fraud. He began his legal career as an attorney with the U.S. Customs Service, advising special agents and Inspectors responsible for enforcing the laws of numerous federal departments and agencies, including matters involving import and customs fraud. He then joined the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, where he prosecuted a wide range of misdemeanor and felony cases. Within several years, Mr. Fleck became known among detectives as the "Fraud DA" for North Los Angeles County and was transferred to the Major Fraud Division, where he prosecuted complex financial crimes. After leaving the District Attorney's office, he joined a boutique firm representing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in mortgage fraud litigation arising out of the 2008 financial crisis. As that wave of cases ebbed, Mr. Fleck founded his own practice, in which he primarily represented victims of fraud in civil and criminal matters in state and federal courts. He also co-founded a technology company focused on preventing document forgery for notaries, title insurers, and other real estate gatekeepers through secure digital verification tools and blockchain technology. Mr. Fleck remains actively involved in fraud education and enforcement. He teaches the legal module of a four-day POST-certified course for detectives about real estate fraud investigations and was part of the team that developed the statewide curriculum. Mr. Fleck is the author of Fraud Investigations 101 published in 2023, a practical desk reference for new fraud investigators who are often expected to handle complex paper cases without any formal training. He also serves as co-chair of the Mortgage Fraud Taskforce of the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators (IAFCI). In his current practice at Manning Kass, Mr. Fleck brings his combined background in prosecution, fraud investigation, and complex civil litigation to insurance fraud matters, as well as to the defense of law enforcement officers, public entities, and healthcare providers in custodial settings. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his J.D. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law.
