David Humphreys has been practicing law since 1987. He was a member of the first class (1994) of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, Dubois, Wyoming. He was recognized in 2004 by the college, along with his partner, Luke Wallace, for his trial work and currently serves as a member of the teaching staff. He and his partner, Luke Wallace, have participated in dozens of trials and settlements resulting in million-dollar recoveries for their consumer law clients. His areas of special interest include debt collection abuse, predatory mortgage servicing and representing mentally challenged or vulnerable persons who have been trapped into debt by installment lenders. David has provided CLE and pro bono representation across the country and is grateful for his membership in NACA and close friendships that have resulted from his association with NCLC and NACA. He is most proud of his nearly thirty year partnership with his wife Tanya and their three children—a lawyer, a working theatre artist, and a budding scientist.
I have been practicing law since 1987 and have participated in dozens of trials and settlements resulting in million dollar recoveries for many of our consumer law clients, including in the areas of consumer credit, mortgage loan servicing, debt collection and credit reporting. I provide training to lawyers across the country in the area of consumer law and trial skills training. My partner, Luke Wallace, and I are dedicated to fully understanding the truth of our client’s story and to sharing this truth with the jury.
Our results speak for themselves. We have earned a reputation for taking on matters that have drawn national attention. Trial by jury is a powerful equalizer in our society but the truth is that the system works best for the party who does the hard work necessary to understand and speak the truth.
I have been invited to provide testimony, insight and training to federal and state consumer financial regulators about my firms experience in consumer finance fraud and abuse. I was a member of the first class (1994) of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in Dubois, Wyoming and now serve as a member of the teaching staff. I was recognized in 2004 by the Trial Lawyers College as Warrior of the Year for the 18-state South Central region of the country. In 2002, the National Association of Consumer Advocates awarded my partner and I the Trial Advocates of the Year Award. I have been recognized in the inaugural and later editions as an Oklahoma "Super Lawyer" and as an individual honoree by Legal Services for New York City for providing pro bono trial skills training to their attorneys.
