About David
David Chang took a course of study that combined humanities and law. He earned a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, then studied law at Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology, where he received his J.D. His education gave him a foundation in analytical thinking and legal reasoning.
After law school, Chang established his career in Illinois. He now serves as a partner at Chang and Carlin, LLP. He practices from the firm's Chicago office and is licensed to practice law in Illinois. Over the years he has progressed into firm leadership and courtroom work, balancing case management with client counseling.
In his role as partner, Chang handles a range of responsibilities. He supervises litigation teams, prepares pleadings, negotiates on behalf of clients and appears in hearings. He is involved in case strategy and in training junior lawyers at the firm. Those duties keep him engaged in both the detail of legal work and the broader direction of the practice.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical and direct. He tends to break complex matters into their component parts, and he expects clear communication from everyone on a matter. He also places emphasis on practical problem solving rather than theoretical debate. That perspective shapes how he evaluates options and prepares clients for each stage of a matter.
Outside the office, Chang has stayed connected to the Chicago legal community. He works from the firm's Chicago address and appears regularly in local courthouses. He combines litigation responsibilities with counseling clients on legal choices and risk. He remains active in the daily practice of law at Chang and Carlin, LLP and concentrates his practice on representing clients in Illinois.
