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.

Professional/hard working compassionate lawyer

Had a great experience with great results as I was on the verge of losing my vehicle and my horse but with the settlement David got me I got to keep them both. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs professional, hard working compassionate legal representation.

Really came through

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

Posted by James | July 15, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Great attorney, greater guy!

After I was injured in a high impact rear and collision I was recommended to consult with Dave Weissman. Dave had excellent communication from day one and was there to answer questions. Time and time again he showed his concern was my well being and everything else was secondary. Experience, intelli...gence, professionalism and heart. Zero bull. Look no further, Dave is the guy you want in your corner!

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

I hired David Weissman after being injured in a car accident in 2018. He guided me step-by-step throughout the entire process, fought hard, and cared about my recovery. He was knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and his staff at the office were great too. Thank you for taking my complicated situ...ation and making it easy!

Car accident

David from the beginning helped me understand the process of the lawsuit. He told me what I needed to do on my part and he will take care of everything else from the insurance companies, behind the scenes things that I was not able to do. He checked on me through out the time I was with him. He encou...rage me to get second opinion's on matters that needed it also. Not one time during the process was I uneasy with me. He is very friendly, professional and treats you like a human being and not a paycheck. He cares about you and your well being. Of you do what he tell you do for your part then yoy will be very pleased eith the results. When we got it the end of it all he was there to answer any questions I had regarding the settlement and he was always answered back timely. I would recommend him to anybody no matter small the accident is he will guide you and tell you straight forward what will go on through your case. I was nervous at first meeting with a lawyer but he made it feel so comfortable. I and talk to others on the phone and didnt go with them cause they didnt take the time to listen to me and my concerns. David is the best and you will always feel like you are on his mind nothing less than outstanding professional behavior from David. That is David for always helping me out through this process.
