Attorney Information
Overview
David Rosen is the immediate past president of the Oregon State Bar.
He is a founding member and past chair of the Deschutes County Access to Justice Committee and past president of the Oregon Law Foundation and Deschutes County Bar Association. David is honored to have been selected to the oregon super lawyers list for the past several years.
EXPERIENCED CIVIL LITIGATOR AND PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
David began his career in the legal field in 2001, working as an economist for a large, Washington, D.C. firm on the Department of Justice’s RICO case against the Tobacco companies. David would later be hired by that same firm as a summer associate. Upon graduation from law school, he was then hired as an associate assisting in the representation of Fortune 500 companies in the fields of internet service providers, telecommunication companies, and major retailers of household goods.
In 2010 David returned to Central Oregon with his family, where he has exclusively practiced personal injury law since 2011. While many civil attorneys seldom get to court, David has arbitrated and mediated injury and accident cases throughout a good deal of Oregon and tried cases to 12-person juries in Deschutes, Jackson, Josephine, and Klamath counties.

EXPERT LEGAL REPRESENTATION
Leveraging a well-rounded background in law, economics, and damage theories, David combines Big Law training with the heart of a person who has gone through the legal process as a plaintiff. He delivers fierce representation for his clients, drawing from this extensive legal experience to advocate for victims of motor vehicle collisions, bicycle and pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, product liability issues and other negligence. David has successfully negotiated, mediated, settled and arbitrated numerous cases with all the big insurance companies and established a reputation of providing top notch representation in a uniquely compassionate manner.
