David Higgins' practice focuses on real estate litigation, including quiet title, condominium law, and disputes between homeowners' associations and their members. He has also represented vessel-owner plaintiffs in cases involving the wrongful denial of maritime insurance benefits.  Higgins has a maritime background.  Prior to law school, her served as navigation officer on a US Navy frigate.  After practicing corporate law for a large Boston firm in the 1970s, he and his physician wife and two young children spent five years at sea living on board a gaff schooner in the Pacific. In 1984, he became CEO of a public charity providing primary healthcare services in Micronesia and behavioral healthcare services to adolescents in Hawai`i.  The charity designed and built a 340-ton, square-rigged sailing vessel to support its program work, and Higgins served as the ship's senior captain and then relief captain until 2002 when he returned to the practice of law.
