David Riley

David has also built a strong reputation representing individuals in high-stakes litigation against major corporations and industries. He is known for handling challenging and complex cases and for effectively working with expert witnesses to build compelling cases for his clients. Over the course of his career, his work has contributed to the recovery of millions of dollars on behalf of aggrieved individuals and families.

In recognition of his professionalism, integrity, and commitment to the legal profession, David was named a Fellow of the Tennessee Bar Foundation — an honor awarded to fewer than five percent of attorneys in Tennessee.

David’s interest in the legal profession began early in life. His father served as both a trial and appellate judge, and David spent much of his childhood observing court proceedings and trials. David’s father taught him the value of handling all matters, both legal and personal, with a high level of integrity and a commitment to the values of ethics and respect. His mother was a school teacher; instilling in him the values of discipline, service, and community involvement that continue to guide his life and practice today.

Outside of the office, David enjoys sports, hunting, traveling, working in his yard, and fishing. He especially values spending time with his wife, Mary-Marsha, and their daughter, Savannah. Whether coaching his daughter’s basketball team or spending time outdoors with family and friends, David brings the same dedication and teamwork to his personal life that he brings to his clients and colleagues.
