A Georgia native, David grew up in Lincoln County, near Augusta, Georgia. While there, he was a member of the high-school’s state champion debate team. He attended Berry College in Rome, GA where he majored in Government.
Prior to law school, he interned with a local law firm to help people in need in his community. In law school, David joined the Georgia State University Mock Trial team and interned with the Georgia Innocence Project. In his third year of law school, he interned with The Dallas Law Firm (now “Dallas & Gracey”) — a prestigious litigation firm that has represented clients including James Brown.
David has spent more than a decade navigating the twists and turns of the insurance industry to bring help to people that need it.
After beginning his career as a trial attorney, David soon got hired by a startup in Georgia to serve as their internal counsel. While there, he worked with insurance adjusters, doctors, and attorneys on both sides to fulfill the company’s mission of ensuring that injured workers received appropriate care.
As the company grew, David developed training for nurses, adjusters, attorneys, and even government regulators to help improve practices and change policy pertaining to medical coverage of injured workers.
From there, he became General Counsel of a company at the intersection of the pharmacy and insurance industries, building its legal department, drafting and negotiating contracts, and ensuring compliance with federal and state laws.
David understands that knowing the law — and using every part of it — is essential to getting results. Upon joining The Awad Law Firm, David was assigned his first case and immediately noticed an error by the insurer’s attorney. He used that error to obtain a default judgment and collect over $350,000.00 for his clients.
Since then, David has continued to delivery for his clients, analyzing the facts of each case and building a strategy that meets his clients’ needs.
David is a Georgia native and spends his free time traveling, spending time with family, and exploring the waterfalls of Appalachia
