David Hatfield - Director of Business Development

With 20+ years of experience across diverse industries, I build and execute strategies that drive growth, brand recognition, and customer acquisition.
My career began in Del Mar, where I founded and scaled a residential mortgage and private lending firm to four locations, 25+ agents, and over $50M in monthly funding. Following the 2008 market shift, I relocated to Colorado and built the state’s largest energy-efficient lighting company, EESI, which served over 1,200 businesses across five Front Range locations. EESI helped more organizations transition to energy-efficient lighting than any other business in Colorado history.
After selling the company, I spent two years traveling Southeast Asia as the co-founder of a nonprofit organization, focusing on documentary film and photography to document social changes in the region.
After returning to the states I co-founded Tradewinds Media, a full-service agency that partnered with brands such as Toyota, Sony, GoPro, American Express, and Alaska Airlines to develop high-impact campaigns blending traditional and digital strategies.
Today, I channel that experience as the Director of Marketing & Branding at HHJ Trial Attorneys, where I lead growth strategy, brand development, and digital presence.
Outside of work, I am a documentary photographer, sailor, paraglider, overlander, skydiver, freediver/scuba diver, BASE jumper, and musician.

These guys deserve all the praise they get. Mr. Hernandez worked with me for nearly a year on a claim and gave me the best guidance and advice every step of the way and produced results far above my expectations for how I thought things were going to play out. The results he and his team produced for me quite literally changed my life. They will be my go-to for the rest of my life in their field and I will point everyone I know who needs any help at all their way. Their service was extremely personal and professional, and very honest. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could.

I wanna start by making it known that the number of reviews I have written in my life I could count on one hand. That being said, I felt it necessary to Publicly Acknowledge Elliot Jung and the entire team at HHJ trial attorneys for the dedication and time they have put him to take care of my family since our accident. My gratitude is unrivaled. Valentine’s day of this year my wife and I were hit at 9 o’clock at night by a young girl with no headlights on. It was a traumatic experience to say the least and we were Lucky to have hobbled away. Shortly after the accident, I contacted a relative who is an attorney. I explained the situation and without hesitation was sent Elliot Jung‘s contact info. I did some research and read reviews as well as his background in law and was blown away. The first time we met I was overwhelmed with this feeling of comfort. A it was a genuine sense that everything was going to be taken care of. Up until that point, I hadn’t felt any sense of relief in regards to our accident. I’ve always pictured attorneys as disgruntled old men with high blood pressure and anger problems. Haha that may be because I know a few that are exactly that. But Elliot is about as far from that as one could be. He’s young, driven, and has an evident passion for what he does. And he’s damn good at it I am amazed by the attentiveness, wisdom, and overall concern for my family‘s well-being that Elliot and the entire HHJ team has shown my family since day one of this lengthy ordeal. I was just recently informed that we won our case! In short, Elliot is phenomenal as an individual as well as an attorney, HHJ is way more than a money-hungry firm, and i will support them in any way i can.

I went with this firm on a whim after some google searching. I ended up having Elliott Jung represent me, and I'm so darn happy I did. He was truly amazing from start to finish. Empathetic, knowledgeable and determined are just a few words to describe him. He fought for my case like it was his wife's or his daughters, and I mean that I really felt his dedication throughout the entire process. And I won! Eternally grateful for this experience and I will forever refer Elliott to anyone who even utters the word attorney.
