David Sanchez - Portland, OR

David Sanchez brings a steady, solution-focused approach to his work as an attorney, shaped by years of real-world experience helping people navigate stressful and unexpected situations. His path to the legal profession is not a traditional one—and that’s part of what makes him such a strong advocate for clients. David’s career has always centered on guiding people through complex challenges with clarity, honesty, and respect.

Before joining the Reynolds Defense Firm, David spent nearly two decades as the owner and operator of a preferred collision repair facility, working directly with major insurance carriers and thousands of customers experiencing the aftermath of accidents. He understands what it’s like to meet people on some of the hardest days of their lives, and he knows how to communicate with empathy while helping them take the next step forward. His work as a former insurance claims representative and liability adjuster gave him extensive experience investigating incidents, evaluating injuries and damages, and negotiating fair outcomes—skills that translate naturally into effective legal advocacy.

David also brings legal experience from his time working in business and immigration law, assisting with matters ranging from corporate filings to removal defense and family-based petitions. Those experiences reinforced the importance of clear communication, cultural understanding, and meeting clients where they are—values that align closely with the Reynolds Defense Firm approach to representation.

A graduate of the University of California, Riverside, and Thomas Jefferson School of Law, David has always been drawn to work that supports individuals, families, and small businesses. He is fluent in Spanish and takes pride in serving clients in their preferred language, ensuring they feel fully informed and supported at every stage of their case.

He believes that people deserve grace, understanding, and he is committed to helping clients find exactly that.

Outside the office, David enjoys spending time with his family and exploring the outdoors. His diverse professional journey, combined with his dedication to personal growth and service, makes him a strong and compassionate advocate for the good people we represent.
