About:
I grew up in Anson, Texas, not far from Abilene. I was raised on a ranch out in the country, and it helped shape my early life. I graduated Valedictorian of my high school in 1995, and went to Texas A&M University where I graduated in 1999 in the top 10% of my class with a B.B.A. in Accounting. After graduation with honors (Magna Cum Laude) from A&M, I went straight to law school at Texas Tech University School of Law on a full scholarship. I graduated with honors (Magna Cum Laude) from law school in the top 10% of my class with a Juris Doctorate (J.D) in law. After law school, I moved back to Abilene. After working for a local Abilene law firm for a year, I almost quit being a lawyer for good. I quit my job at the firm, and backpacked Europe for three (3) months. When I got back with a new perspective on life, I decided to start my own law practice and be my own boss. I have been fighting for the rights of West Texans ever since.

"I cannot recommend David DeFoore and his exceptional team enough. Exceptional doesn't seem adequate. With a 2 1/2 year divorce with many nuances and challenges, they excelled for me. They also didn't charge me for all the nit and ninny that was caused by the opposition's lawyer. When you see David in court, you realize very quickly that it's money WELL spent. He fights for YOU. Compared to the opposition lawyer in my case, David made them look like a simpleton. Actually he clearly proved it a few times in court. David and his team are smart, understanding and fair to you as a client. I will continue to recommend the DeFoore law firm to others."

"I could not have chosen a better lawyer to handle my case. David and his team were excellent from day one. David was very knowledgeable, professional, and always well prepared for each Court date, the mediation, and all things related to my case. David was 100% always advocating for my daughter and I which is exactly what is necessary when you find yourself in need of a family lawyer. I would recommend David's office to anyone needing representation."

"I highly recommend you do not use this Attorney. He will Not fight for you or even give you what you need to fight. He will get you signed during his initial consultation phone call with lies. He will even tell you that he will get the other side to pay your legal fees, but then do absolutely nothing. I used him for a divorce. I received no direction, never a call back or email addressing my concerns or answering my questions . When he did call you after numerous emails and calls, he expected you to have documentation he never instructed you to obtain. He would cut you off on any questions talking over you. Disrespectful. I basically did everything myself. He showed up at mediation with no knowledge of my case , and only at that time , would he review documentation. He charged me to go to Court but then told me “I wasn’t a good witness”. I did not get that money back . Absolutely terrible experience on top of a terrible experience. I was only asking for 50% and he didn’t even get me that. Don’t waste your money on this one. Divorce settlements will determine your future. A competent lawyer is what you need. David DeFoore is not it. Fight hard and don’t use this one. I wish I had dropped him and found another."
