Attorney

David Bravo’s training as an advocate began long before law school. In high school, David was a nationally competitive debater. He spent his summers learning to persuasively speak and research at prestigious institutes such as Dartmouth College, The University of Toledo, and Loyola University. He won the Louisiana High School State Championship and placed in the top ten at the City Championship three years in a row for Extemporaneous Speaking. In college, David won LSU’s Persuasive Speech Contest.

At Loyola Law School, David earned a scholarship as the swing oralist on the Moot Court National Team which required him to argue both sides of the issue. His team won the Regional Championship and finished fifth in the nation.

Immediately after graduation, David was baptized in fire as he worked as a prosecutor in Orleans Parish. He quickly rose to Senior Trial Attorney and began handling serious felony cases, including death penalty cases. David tried nearly a hundred cases as a prosecutor, including three jury trials in just one day.

After leaving the DA’s office, David worked for a downtown insurance defense firm. During this period, David learned how insurance companies evaluate cases. He also learned that his personal satisfaction came from representing people, not big insurance companies.

For over 20 years David has represented only individuals and small companies. He has used his experience in evaluating and trying cases to achieve justice for his clients. He continues to actively train as an advocate. He spent a month at the Trial Lawyer’s College at Thunderhead Ranch in Wyoming, founded by famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence. He continues to work and train with prominent national groups using cutting edge techniques to bring the real story to the jury. David has also taught Trial Skills Courses at Loyola Law School.

David would be happy to meet with you to see if his unique set of skills can help you with your current challenge.
