David Eric Kassab

David Eric Kassab, Lead Associate at The Kassab Law Firm, was born in Houston and raised in the Northwest. After high school, David enlisted in the military with the Army National Guard. Prior to his junior year of college David was deployed overseas in Operation Iraqi Freedom III with Task Force Liberty of the 42nd Infantry Division. While deployed in Iraq, David completed eighteen college credits and was able to sustain a 4.0 grade point average during this period, ultimately earning him academic honors for his personal scholarly endeavor as well as an Army Achievement Medal for his logistical support in the war.

After returning state-side and completing Bachelors in Business Administration, David returned to Texas and was admitted into South Texas College of Law, a private law school in Houston. While attending South Texas, David clerked full-time at The Kassab Law Firm, gaining extensive experience in civil litigation, while focusing almost exclusively in legal malpractice, attorney breach of fiduciary duty claims and legal ethics. During his third year of law school, David obtained his Temporary Trial Card and argued several motions and hearings in court while under the supervision of an attorney. After graduating law school and passing the Texas Bar Exam in 2010, David continued his employment with The Kassab Law Firm as a licensed attorney. Here, David combines his prior military experience with his formal legal and business training, allowing him to work efficiently and effectively while under pressure, all in an effort to better serve our clients.

Both while clerking and since his licensure, David has assisted in the resolution of several high-dollar legal malpractice cases, and has successfully litigated these legal malpractice cases to their resolution against some of Texas’ largest and most prestigious law firms. David has handled legal malpractice cases in Texas State and Federal Courts and has arbitrated cases before the American Arbitration Association.

David is licensed to practice in all Texas courts as well as the federal courts for the Southern and Western Districts of Texas.

David belongs to several professional organizations and is a member of the Texas Bar Association, American Bar Association, Young Lawyers Division, and Houston Young Lawyers Association.
