David Sanders
“I believe there to be no more fulfilling work than helping my brothers and sisters level the playing field against the powerful, which is why I do what I do.”
David grew up in Marshall, Texas in the thick piney woods region. He comes from a family with a lot of teachers, roughnecks and engineers, but he’s the first lawyer. A strong work ethic and sense of justice were instilled in him from an early age and he has worked in a variety of capacities since he was fifteen, from flipping burgers and washing dishes, to auto parts sales and construction—but he always wanted to be a lawyer helping people.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, David spent several years as a claims adjuster for a major insurance company. He learned to evaluate what a claim was worth and he learned how insurance companies think. But most importantly, he gained an education in humankind: “My customers came from all walks of life, and I appreciated that they had often just experienced a traumatic event. I asked questions and tried to learn something from everyone I met. And it wasn’t rare for a customer to ask for a hug; because I really cared, and they knew it.” However, it was not long before David realized this was not typical adjuster behavior. He wanted the insurance company to pay what was fair and he didn’t see numbers—he saw people. He realized he was playing for the wrong team. “I love working for my people, not big companies with unlimited resources. I think it has something to do with my name being David—I just can’t help but want to stand up to and defeat the Goliaths of the world.”
David has since represented hundreds of satisfied clients in multiple states. He has handled several jury trials and has practiced in various state and federal courts. His favorite thing about what he does is helping his clients to feel less worried, less alone, and more informed in an all-too-often cold and complicated system. David looks for the good in all people and tries to help everyone he can. He takes pride in his work and always strives for the best result he can obtain for his clients.
When not fighting insurance companies, David spends most of his time with his family. David has been described as an old soul with a big heart. He always has music playing and he likes to cook outside. He also likes to fish and hunt when he gets the chance, and he has an insatiable thirst for learning all kinds of things.
David is truly passionate about helping his people get what they deserve. Oftentimes he can reach an agreement with the other side without going to court. However, if it’s a fight they want, he will give them a fight they may live to regret.
