David Linwayne Wiley

I am a lawyer who focuses his practice on workers' rights. I like helping people. When a company causes harm or loss to a current or former employee, I try to help that employee recover. Gibson Wiley PLLC is a law firm dedicated to providing representation to people in disputes with current or former employers. I work for, and am co-owner of, that law firm. 

I have represented numerous employees in various types of employment litigation. Over the years, I have represented nurses, police officers, laborers, executives, administrative assistants, lawyers, sales associates, managers, educators, and many, many others. 

I served for about a decade on the Council governing the Labor and Employment Law Section of the State Bar of Texas. I was Chair of that section. I am also currently the President of the Texas Employment Lawyers Association -- a voluntary bar association of lawyers who help workers in employment matters throughout Texas. I have presented continuing legal education seminars to other lawyers in the field of employment law for over twenty years. 

I am a former two-year law clerk to Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans. I am a graduate of the St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, where I served as a Comment Editor on the Editorial Board of the St. Mary’s Law Journal. I am also a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. 

I am licensed to practice law in Texas. I keep an inactive license to practice law in Louisiana and Tennessee too. For three consecutive years, the Texas Super Lawyers edition of Texas Monthly Magazine listed me as a “Rising Star” in the field of Plaintiff’s Employment Litigation. For the past six years, that magazine has listed me as a "Super Lawyer" in that field.
