Overview

David Matthews

David Matthews has litigated commercial, business, construction, and many other types of cases for 30 years. He has practiced in state and federal courts across the country and typically has ongoing cases in multiple states. This enables him to have a much broader perspective on judges, juries, and likely outcomes of cases. David implements this knowledge in the mediation process by working with the parties and helping them to understand how a judge, jury, or arbitrator might view their position.

David has been a partner in the firm of Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial, a national litigation firm, for over 20 years. He has a practical, current understanding of litigation which is valuable in the negotiation process. He is “in the trenches” daily. David has represented owners, contractors, subcontractors, and designers in many states as well as owners and contractors in residential and commercial cases, including those that involve commercial buildings, bridges, pipelines, school buildings, warehouses, hotels, and other structures. He is able to see the case from the viewpoint of each participant, and that translates to a high level of resolution.
