BIOGRAPHY
David graduated in 2003 with his Juris Doctorate from Capital University Law School. During law school, David clerked for an Ohio insurance defense firm handling auto and commercial insurance defense and bad faith litigation. David passed the Ohio bar exam in November of 2003 and participated in his first jury trial that same month. In the past 19 years, David has tried over 35 jury trials and dozens of bench trials in the State of Ohio. David has also argued before the 10th Dist, Ohio Court of Appeals and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In 2008, David practiced as staff counsel for Allstate’s Central Ohio office. In 2009 to 2012, David managed claims regulatory compliance for Safe Auto and then transitioned to their Office of General Counsel where he built and managed Safe Auto’s first staff counsel program until 2017. Since 2018, David left Safe Auto to design and operate a unique “panel counsel” insurance defense law firm to serve the carrier’s need for defense cost containment and reduction of cycle time.
In 2022, David merged his multi-state practice and attorneys with Gower Wooten & Darneille LLC. This merger expanded Gower Wooten & Darneille LLC into a regional insurance defense firm with ten (10) states and the ability to scale across the nation.
