About
Areas of PracticeBusiness and Complex Commercial LitigationReal Estate LitigationBank LitigationTort Litigation David Crooks is an experienced trial lawyer who enjoys a broad and varied background. In his role as a litigator, David Crooks always remembers he has been given the privilege and responsibility of fighting his client’s legal battles with their own financial resources. As a result, he employs a mixture of logic, reason and creativity to prevail for his clients in the most cost-effective manner possible. “Sometimes that means going to trial and other times it means finding a unique angle to push for a favorable settlement,” David says, “but it always means working harder, smarter and more efficiently than the lawyer on the other side.” David is a Dallas native who experienced much of the world prior to returning to the Dallas area. He attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where he played varsity football and rugby and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Composition in 1991. During college, David lived and worked in New York City, studied at two Australian universities and attended a program in international business and law in Innsbruck, Austria. Prior to completing his law degree at the University of Texas, David worked for several years in the restaurant business, clerked for the litigation section of a large Southern California law firm and co-managed pro bono aid to local artists and musicians in Austin, Texas. David currently serves on the Greenhill School Alumni Board. In his personal time, David enjoys SCUBA diving, mountain biking and alpine skiing.

David Grant Crooks provides outside general counsel services for our company, Palmieri Advisors. The level of genuine care that he displays towards us is exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable about business litigation and is always willing to find a cost-effective solution that works within our budget. Additionally, David is always available via text message for a quick response to a question. I recommend David to any small or mid size business owner who is tired of paying money to lawyers who are too busy to return a phone call.
My business is in Sacramento, CA and David helped me thorugh a nasty litigation process in Texas. After obtaining a summary judgement, the defendant hid assets. David uncovered them and brought that person to his knees despite Texas' laws in favor of people who behave this way. He was the best litigator I have met and I am the largest privately held developer in northern California, having litigated too many suits to count. I wish he would relocate to Sacramento. If you don't hire him, you are not serious about wining your case. He is worth every penny. Feel free to ask David fro my contact information if you want more of a referral from me. No, I am not related to him. I was referred to him by another lawyer. Paul Petrovich Petrovich Development Company, LLC
