David Henderson is a seasoned trial lawyer who joined Ellwanger Law to fight for justice. David earned his BA in Plan II Honors and his law degree from the University of Texas. Afterwards, he joined the litigation section of one of Texas’s largest law firms. Though David enjoyed the intellectual challenges of complex litigation, he wanted to try cases; so, he joined the Special Crimes Division of the district attorney’s office.
David has tried over 70 jury cases to a verdict, ranging from civil cases to human trafficking to capital murder. David was so successful in court that the Texas District and County Attorney’s Association (TDCAA) invited him to train other attorneys across the state, including at TDCAA’s semi-annual Trial Skills Course. From his first presentation, David was one of TDCAA’s most highly rated speakers. Additionally, during his time at the DA’s Office, David was named local Criminal Justice Member of the Year and received the President’s Award for outstanding service from Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
To improve his courtroom skills, David joined Toastmasters International. In 2010 he won its World Champion of Public Speaking after competing against over 30,000 contestants from 113 countries. Though he competed to become a better trial lawyer, David delivered his best speech outside the courtroom when he convinced Dr. Josephine Thinwa to marry him. She liked it so much that she etched a copy above their mantelpiece. When not in court, David enjoys teaching Bible classes with Josephine, serving on the Friends of the Dallas Public Library’s board of directors, and barbecuing as often as he can.

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.
