EXPERIENCED, AGGRESSIVE LAWYER WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS.

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.
