About Robert
Biography
I am a husband of 29 years to my wife Tanya and together we raised three great young adults.
In 1994, after seven years in practice, I attended the first ever Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College. It changed my world and opened me up to really see the pain inflicted on working families by the Wall Street elites. It caused me to dedicate and focus my professional career upon "representing the forgotten," ordinary working families. It has been my passion, and honor, to have represented so many good, honest and decent families who have been vicitmized by systematic fraudulent, deceptive or abusive business practices of lenders, debt collectors, credit reporting agencies.
In my three decades as a lawyer, I am most grateful to have been given the opportunity to truly listen to my clients and then work to expose systemic wrongdoing and bring awareness and hopefully change. I am also grateful to have been given the opportunity to have worked on many cases drawing national attention about harmful business practices. I am also very proud to have presented testimony to state legistlative bodies and to brief state agencies about predatory harmful loan flipping practices. This has resulted in bad publicity to predatory lenders helped cause them to be denied their legislative agendas. I am also grateful for the many close friendships I have developed with other attorneys across the country with whom I have shared reprentation of their clients in trial by jury.

Troubled Mortgage

Very helpful
Robert helped me out so much. I felt like I had an attorney going in to that courtroom. He calmed my nerves and explained things in ways I could understand. I'm surprised at how much he did for me without any payment. I will look for his guidance in the future!

My Mortgage Servicer
My wife and I were pleased with the work of our attorney David Humphreys. We called him not knowing what to expect having just been served with a foreclosure. He got the ball rolling and movement on our case. The case moved slow at first, but steadily, we saw action and response. He has a good repu...

Robert David Humphreys's Lawyer Endorsements
"I heartily endorse this lawyer. Mr. Humphreys and his firm worked on a matter with my firm and their efforts exponentially increased the value of the case. I truly hope for other opportunities to work with him again in the future."
"I have known Dave Humphreys and Luke Wallace for about a decade. Put simply, they are two of the most respected and feared consumer law trial lawyers in the country. I brought them in on as co-counsel on a case, and the process was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail, the work ethic, the righteous indignation and the courtroom skills were all on display, and the jury came back with a verdict of $426K on a case where the highest offer before trial was $50K. I would co-counsel with them again without hesitation."
"Dave Humphries is an outstanding trial lawyer and consumer advocate. He has dedicated his law practice to representing working families exploited by the financial elite in this country. He has represented consumers who have been the victims of predatory lending, fraud and debt collection harassment. The large jury verdicts he has obtained for his clients speak for themselves. I highly recommend him."
"David is one of the most well-respected consumer lawyers in the United States. He is considered a mentor to many other consumer lawyers, including me. His list of successful accomplishments with consumer cases is long. He is an excellent attorney, and he comes with my full endorsement."
"What do you get the person who has everything? I have a similar question when faced what to write above David Humphreys. What can you say about the lawyer who is simply the best around? There are not enough words in this language to fully express my belief that no matter your issue David Humphreys is your man for solving it, period. You simply cannot go wrong contacting his office. I guess that does it..."
"I can't say enough about Dave Humphreys to recommend him to you. There isn't enough space here. When it comes to understanding how fraud is practiced on consumers and what the laws are that can help you, Dave and his partner are simply the best. I know he does other kinds of work, sure, but handling car sales fraud is a talent that he shines at like no one else. If a car dealer (or any merchant) ripped you off, and Dave is anywhere near you, hire him and don't look back. And if he is too busy at the moment, then hire his partner, Luke, who is just as good. Like I said, he is simply the best. Period."
"I heartily endorse this lawyer. David is an excellent trial lawyer. He is not only very successful and focused but is a genuine and caring advocate."
"I know David Humphreys from co-counseling a case with him and from attending many presentations he has given at national conferences about how to aggressively pursue abusive debt collectors and fraudsters. Dave is an intelligent, focused and extremely caring attorney. He is a leader and mentor in our community of lawyers seeking economic justice for our clients. Dave treats his clients with respect. He envelops himself in his client's story in a very personal way so that he can present his case to the jury in a manner filled with truth and passion. If you are in need of an attorney who will help you seek justice from a business or individual who has cheated you, or a debt collector who has harassed you, there is no better attorney to tell your story with you than David Humphreys. He and his law firm have achieved outstanding results for consumers across the country."
"When picking a consumer lawyer to represent you be sure to pick a lawyer that is honest, caring, aggressive and a trial attorney. David is all of the above. He will get to know you personally, learn your story and fight for you so he can obtain the best outcome. I have seen him and his firm obtain large verdicts for their clients that leave many attorneys wondering how they did it. Having worked with him I know its because he cares deeply about his client, he is a zealous advocate and he is an incredible trial attorney. You would be selling yourself short if you didn't call him. David comes with my highest recommendation."
"I endorse this lawyer. This is the attorney to call first. He will go to the mat for his clients. He is smart, extremely hard working and always there for his clients. I only wish all the attorneys I have worked with and known were as honest and as ethical as David Humphreys"
"Dave Humphreys is one of the nation's foremost practitioners in handling consumer fraud matters of all sorts, including Fair Debt Collection Practices. He is a distinguished graduate of the elite Trial Lawyers College given yearly by famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence. A participant in the college has to devote a month to attending, so that shows the level off dedication and commitment one must have to the profession and one’s clients. The results Dave had obtained for his clients both in and out of court have been spectacular. He is nationally respected for his dedication to protecting consumers from abusive debt collection practices. John T.
