About David
Biography
David has been a trial lawyer for more than 40 years. He's a former English teacher who was selected in 2007 to be a student at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer College. He had applied many times before because Gerry Spence had been his idol and mentor since becoming a lawyer. He's board certified in both Civil Trial Law and Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He was honored in 2009 by being selected for membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). He also qualified for membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a group of lawyers who have achieved verdicts or settlements over 1 million dollars. During his career he has obtained over $60,000,000 in personal injury settlements and verdicts. He was selected for membership in the Texas Bar Foundation and is a Life Fellow. David's maternal grandfather's heart's desire was to be a lawyer. He had trunks and trunks of law books he had read and marked up with his notes. He passed away 3 years before David was born but became a mentor to David through his mother and his East Texas relatives who knew and loved his grandfather. David is active in his church, Stonebriar Community Church, and has been a facilitator in the Divorce Care program since it started in 2000. His hobbies are golf, snow skiing, public speaking, and reading. He has 3 children and 3 grandchildren. His wife, Karen, is a CPA/flight attendant for American Airlines.

David M. Vereeke's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr.Vereeke constantly provides excellent legal advice that not only benefit the asker of the question, but also fellow attorneys. Even though I have been an attorney for 23 years and even a judge and magistrate, I learn new aspects about the law from him every day."
"Having known David for many years, I recomend him highly to all. He is a man of utmost integrity. He knows how to win a case and get the money in. If David will take your case, you have made a good choice."
"I endorse this lawyer. David has been practicing in Dallas longer than I have been here, 20 years. His reputation is as a concerned, attentive and skilled trial lawyer whose clients uniformly are well represented. He is talented and I wholly endorse David in Personal Injury and Civil Trial practice."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is an incredibly hard working advocate who is also very creative and resourceful in representing his clients. Having worked with David from time to time over the last 24 years, I truly do look forward to our next case together."
"I strongly endorse David. I have known David many years and am always impressed with his legal skills. Above all, David cares a great deal about his clients. Anyone who is fortunate enough to have David in his corner will be in very good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is a good and experienced trial attorney. He is well known in this field."
"David is one of the preeminent lawyers for people injured in Dallas. He has many years experience and has worked with other top lawyers such as Gerry Spence."
"David has an outstanding reputation in the legal community and is known for delivering oustanding representation to his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known David for over 20 years and he is an excellent attorney. He gives his all for his clients and has the trial skills to back it up."
"I met David Vereeke at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College and am endorsing him without hesitation as a great attorney. I don't say that because of his staggering record of achieved victories in his three decade plus litigation career. I say that because his main focus is people. His clients. The people he fights for every day. You don't get to be as good as Mr. Vereeke if you aren't paying attention to the people who matter. Whether its his clients, the jury or the opposition, David Vereeke is always three steps ahead because he listens. I can give no higher recommendation than David when it comes to litigation in Texas. He wins because he cares."
"Attorney Vereeke has been at it for a long time and is a great asset to the legal community. He is well regarded, and I strongly recommend his services if you are need of a foreclosure or personal injury attorney in the Dallas area."
"David is a good Soul and a wonderful Advocate. We first met in Wyoming at an advanced training seminar and have remained fast friends since. I have een him do some simply amazing things with tough cases, and I know that he invests time, emotion and thought into each one of his files. There are few men who have the depth of connection with Jurors than David, and his clients are lucky to have such a forceful defender of their interests in their corner."
