David is a strong advocate for our civil justice system, and thus dedicates time working to insure that innocent individuals who have been wrongfully harmed receive justice.  In recognition of his efforts to protect the rights of such individuals, the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association named him as the recipient of the 2003 Civil Justice Advocacy Award.

Born and raised in Newport, Arkansas, in 1981 David earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.   He received his Juris Doctorate in 1985 from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law, where he served as an associate editor of the Law Journal.

For 15 years David worked at a large civil defense law firm in Little Rock.  In 2001, he founded his own firm in order to pursue his passion for protecting those injured and harmed by the abuse and neglect of others.  He is a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America where he is active in the Nursing Home Litigation Group as well as the Arkansas Trial Lawyers Association.  He is frequently invited to speak at national and local seminars that teach trial techniques, especially those specializing in nursing home litigation.

David is admitted to practice before all Arkansas state and federal courts, including the Arkansas Supreme Court, The United States District Courts of Arkansas and the United States Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  He has been admitted on a case-by-case basis in several other jurisdictions across the United States.

As a life-long Arkansan, David continues to promote the interests of his state and community by serving on the board of directors of several nonprofit organizations and donating time as a member of various city, educational, and public service committees.  He is a member of the Arkansas Advocates for Nursing Home Residents as well as the National Citizen’s Coalition for Nursing Home Reform.
