About David

Biography

I was raised in South Florida where I grew up fishing, boating, rooting for the Dolphins, and spending entirely too much time in the sun. After finishing high school in Fort Lauderdale, I attended Florida State University, home of the Seminoles. After graduating, I went to the Florida State University College of Law where I obtained my Juris Doctorate in 1989.

I moved back to South Florida where I began practicing law. I was fortunate enough to have a successful run with my own firm for almost twenty years. During this time, I was instrumental in growing the firm from a two attorney shop into an 11 attorney/ 50 support staff firm with two offices. I devoted my practice to fighting for the rights of the injured and aggrieved, dedicating 100% of my efforts to the rights of the individual, be it personal injury, social security disability or insurance/ contract disputes. I tried over 100 cases to completion in Florida and was successful in obtaining great results- largely by virtue of outworking the other guy. I developed many of the traits that serve me well today- organization, hard work, and a single- minded desire to do the best job possible for my clients.

Far more important though, it was there I met my beautiful wife Rosy. After being blessed with two great little girls, Jennifer and Jessica, we took a look at the proverbial landscape and determined West Palm Beach was not the place to raise kids. Our travels ultimately brought us to Middle Tennessee. I have found this to be the perfect place for us- peaceful, friendly and a heavy emphasis on education. Additionally, we love the people. Tennessee deserves its reputation as the "friendliest place in the country".

Since moving to Tennessee, I have learned to love country music and generally spent a lot of quality time raising my kids. I still fish, boat, and spend entirely too much time in the sun. Now, however, I root for the Titans! After all these years, I consider myself a lnatice.

Professionally, it was a priority to find a firm committed to providing the best representation available. I firmly believe the client deserves nothing less. Over the course of my career, I have earned certain accolades that reflect this dedication. I am AV rated by Martindale Hubble (the highest rating a lawyer can achieve) and a longtime member of Best Lawyers in America and Tennessee Super Lawyers. It was important to me to join a like-minded group. In that regard, I have been blessed to partner with David Raybin and be a member of Raybin & Weissman. This is a great group that works hard, loves the law and places the priority on the client's needs and results. I look forward to a long future in the Nashville legal community and look forward to helping you in any way I can be of assistance.

Fighting to protect you and your loved ones for over twenty years.

Great for Disability Too!

David and his paralegal Sharon were absolutely wonderful. I needed help with my disability claim and had actually been turned down by other lawyers. He advised me before even charging a single penny. He told me what documents I needed to pull together, how the disability process works, and it’s pitfa...lls, and he advised me on how to communicate with Social Security. All before I even hired him. I did wind up having to go all the way through to the court process, at which point I hired him. He prepared me to go to court, and then he was there to represent me in the court process. It went so well that we didn’t even complete all the questions before the judge asked the Medical assessor for his opinion. It was favorable, and I was granted disability back to my last day of work, and of course, going forward. I highly recommend David and his team. He’s easy to work with, very personable, very knowledgeable, and he gets the job done!

Really came through

Dave was very personable and kind, and he got me a much higher settlement than I expected!

Weissman Is the Man

From the beginning to end of my case Mr. Weissman was professional, organized, personable and knowledgeable. If you’re hesitant to choose a personal injury lawyer you don’t have to be when you choose David Weissman. Thanks Dave!

Outstanding Counselor

My wife and I worked with Dave for the past several years on a complicated personal injury case. Throughout the process, Dave was honest, professional, responsive and very transparent. He at no time misguided us nor made promises a reputable lawyer couldn't keep. He is an outstanding individual an...d I would not hesitate recommending Dave Weisman to represent anyone should the need arise.
