I have used Mr. Defoore has done a wonderful job with my case and has fought hard for us every time. He doesn't take his job lightly. He is motivated and dedicated to helping no matter how tough it is. To me I wouldn't find a better attorney. Thanks for all your help Mr. Defoore. We are not done yet ;)
David not only represented me in this county but he went above and beyond to collaborate with other counties to get me the best outcome possible. He gave me recommendations on what efforts I should do myself to help me get the best outcome He saved my freedom, health, and life. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting an exceptional attorney who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for his clients.
EXPERIENCED, AGGRESSIVE LAWYER WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS.FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM.FIGHTING FOR YOUR FAMILY.FIGHTING FOR THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE.
I grew up on a ranch in the country near Anson, Texas, not far from Abilene. Growing up in "the sticks" was an adventure, and it helped shape my early life. I graduated Valedictorian of my high school in 1995 and went to Texas A&M University where I graduated in 1999 in the top 10% of my class with a B.B.A. in Accounting. After graduation with honors from A&M, I went straight to law school at Texas Tech University School of Law on a full scholarship. I finished law school in the top 10% of my class with a Juris Doctorate (J.D) in law. After law school, I moved back to Abilene and went to work for a local firm.
After working as an associate at a law firm for a year, I almost quit being a lawyer for good. I decided to quit my job at the firm and took off on an adventure, backpacking Europe for three (3) months. When I got back with a new perspective on life, I decided to start my own law practice and be my own boss. I haven't looked back since.
For the last 19 years, I have fought for people who need an experienced, aggressive lawyer to stand up for their rights when injured, charged with a crime, or confronted with a divorce or custody battle. The fight continues...

David DeFoore
When I first met Mr. DeFoore, I was struck by how young he looked! I thought he couldn't possibly be much older than me, and I'm in my mid-20's! But he has turned out to be the most helpful lawyer I've ever dealt with. He explains things in lamans terms, that a non-lawyer person can understand. He is straight-forward and honest. He is handling my divorce/custody case against my mother and soon-to-be-ex husband. This will be the first time I'll walk into a courtroom with confidence that we will win. He seems to go above and beyond what any other attorneys have been willing to do, at least for me. His costs/prices seem more than reasonable and he seems to be willing to work with any budget (my budget is quite small!). I'm positive that if I ever need legal representation in the future, I will definitely use David DeFoore. Plus, he's just a nice guy.
