About David
Biography
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 20 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...
Experienced, aggressive lawyer who will fight for your rights.
Fighting for your freedom.
Fighting for your family.
Fighting for the compensation you deserve.

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. H...
