Updated: 09/23/2014

New Orleans Personal Injury Lawyer

Overview

David Bravo’s training as an advocate began long before law school. In high school, David was a nationally competitive Cross Examination debater. He spent his summers learning to persuasively speak and research at prestigious institutions such as Dartmouth College, The University of Toledo, and Loyola University. He won the Louisiana High School State Championship and placed in the top ten at the City Championship three years in a row for Extemporaneous Speaking. In college, David won LSU’s Persuasive Speech Contest.

At Loyola Law School, David earned a scholarship as the swing oralist on the Moot Court National Team which required him to argue both sides of the issue. His team won the Regional Championship and finished fifth in the nation.

Immediately after graduation, David was baptized by fire as he worked as a prosecutor in Orleans Parish. He quickly rose to Senior Trial Attorney and began handling serious felony cases, including death penalty cases. David tried nearly a hundred cases as a prosecutor, including three jury trials in just one day.

After leaving the DA’s office, David worked for a downtown insurance defense firm. During this period, David learned how insurance companies evaluate cases. He also learned that his personal satisfaction came from representing people, not big insurance companies.

For the last 12 years, David has represented only individuals and small companies. He has used his experience in evaluating and trying cases to achieve justice for his clients. He continues to actively train as an advocate. He recently spent a month at the Trial Lawyer’s College at Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming, founded by famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence. David has also taught Trial Skills Courses at Loyola Law School.

David would be happy to meet with you to see if his unique set of skills can help you with your current challenge.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
