For nearly 30 years, he has been a relentless advocate for individuals and families harmed by others’ negligence. Over his career, Mr. Ellin has dedicated his practice to victims of medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injuries, and to families seeking justice in wrongful death cases in Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, California, Nevada, and Washington, D.C.
Mr. Ellin is renowned for his ability to handle complex medical negligence cases of all kinds, including surgical errors, misdiagnoses, birth injury, brain injury, medication and pharmacy mistakes, anesthesia negligence, obstetric injuries and nursing home negligence. He also represents victims of catastrophic personal injury, including motor vehicle collisions, industrial accidents, slip and fall and other life-changing events. Regardless of the case, David brings exceptional skill and unwavering determination to every client he serves.
At just 23 years old, David became one of the youngest attorneys ever admitted to the Maryland State Bar. He began his career under the legendary Marvin Ellin, widely regarded as the “dean of medical malpractice” in Maryland. Seeking to broaden his trial experience, David served as a Baltimore City Assistant State’s Attorney in the Felony Narcotics Unit, where he gained invaluable courtroom and investigative experience.
In 2004, he founded Ellin Law, devoting his practice exclusively to helping victims and families devastated by negligence. Since then, he has recovered well over 100 millions of dollars on behalf of his clients and has built a reputation as the attorney clients turn to when the stakes are highest and the path forward is uncertain.
