Meet Our Attorneys
Hi. I am David Mallen, and I am grateful for this chance to tell you about myself. I have practiced law as a trial attorney for over 31 years. I attended law school at the University of Florida, then began my career as an insurance defense lawyer, defending insurance companies and hospitals from major liability claims. My boss assigned me to represent an insurance company that refused to pay what was owed to a family whose home was destroyed by a sinkhole. The insurance company won, not because they were right, but because the family’s lawyer was never prepared for court and had not mastered the specialized laws involved. I then left that job to fight for families, vowing to never allow any injustice I could stop. To my surprise, years later that same family I had opposed asked me to represent them when they had a legal issue. I am always prepared for court and I know the law. I represent only injured workers, and I am in workers compensation court constantly for over 30 years. I have tried and won cases against the biggest employers and biggest insurance companies in America. I prepare to win and I put my clients in position to win.
I have been married almost 25 years to Carla. We have 2 amazing children who attended St. Margaret Mary Catholic School, Winter Park High, then Georgetown and Stanford Universities. As a family we devote much time and money giving to charity.
I grew up in a single parent home in Tennessee after my father died when I was 7 years old. I have worked my entire life to get where I am. After 22 years running my own law firm fighting to protect injured workers and their families, Dan Newlin offered me the opportunity to be part of Dan’s team of experts fighting to protect your valuable legal rights. Dan gave me the greatest chance I have ever had to make a difference for the most families. Put my experience to work for you!™
I look forward to serving you. Please call me direct at 407-203-6606.
