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!

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!

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!

We sued Cheatham Co. and won

I am the parent of Jordan, the young man who was tased more than 40 times by the Cheatham Co. Sheriff’s Dept. We contacted David Weissman and Benjamin Raybin to discuss suing the sheriff’s dept. I had previously contacted 4 other firms and had been turned down. Mr. Weissman saw the photo evidence of... Jordan’s tasing burns and immediately scheduled a consultation with us. Several months and several meetings later, we have settled this suit, very much to our liking. Throughout this experience, Mr. Weissman worked diligently and professionally, with the highest standards, keeping us informed and answering every single question or concern. We never felt left out, or wondered what was going on. The intelligence and expertise shown by Mr. Weissman makes him a very desirable attorney for any civil or injury need. Jordan and I now feel like he is a friend to us, as well as an attorney. I highly recommend him. You will have to search long and hard to find anyone better.
