About David
David Christensen is an attorney licensed to practice in Tennessee who works at Whatley and Associates. He is a practicing lawyer in the state and is based at that firm. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic in day-to-day work.
Christensen began his legal career in Tennessee courts. Over the years he has handled matters that required courtroom presence and client counseling. He has experience preparing pleadings, arguing motions, and managing case files. He moves between brief drafting and client meetings with a practical approach to problem solving.
His professional life has included both litigation tasks and transactional work. He balances court appearances with settlement negotiations, and he spends time advising clients on procedural issues and case strategy. The variety of daily work means toggling between detailed legal research and broader case planning.
Within the office he takes on responsibilities typical of a state practitioner: interviewing clients, collecting documents, coordinating discovery, and working with experts when a file requires specialized input. He also communicates with opposing counsel and court staff. Those routines form the backbone of how he manages cases and serves clients.
Outside work on specific files, Christensen follows changes in Tennessee law and watches how appellate decisions affect trial practice. He participates in firm meetings and contributes to case strategy discussions. His professional demeanor is reserved; he prefers to let work product speak for itself.
He currently practices law in Tennessee at Whatley and Associates.
