About David E
David E Gordon began his academic journey in the social sciences. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Tufts University in 1976 after beginning his undergraduate studies in 1972. He then turned toward the law and completed his Juris Doctor at Vanderbilt University in 1982, finishing a program he entered in 1979.
Early in his career Gordon moved into trial work. Over the years he amassed courtroom experience that led to board certification. The Tennessee Supreme Court certified him as a Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist, a designation that marks practitioners who have demonstrated knowledge and skill in civil litigation. That credential figures prominently in how peers and clients assess his courtroom abilities.
Gordon has maintained membership in professional associations throughout his career. Those memberships have kept him connected to developments in civil procedure and trial practice. He has used those connections to stay current on litigation trends and shifts in state court practice.
His practice history centers on civil litigation. He has tried cases before juries and judges in Tennessee courts. Colleagues describe him as precise in preparation and steady during trial, preferring clear presentation to theatrical flourishes. He has handled cases that require contested evidentiary rulings and strategic motion practice, and he is comfortable managing both the pretrial grind and the pressures of trial week.
Gordon established The Law Office of David E. Gordon P.C. to provide a base for his practice. He operates from that office and represents clients in disputes that progress to litigation. The firm is structured to support trial work and to respond quickly to the demands of active cases. His day-to-day practice includes drafting pleadings, taking and defending depositions, preparing experts, and presenting evidence in court.
Outside the courtroom he has balanced case work with ongoing professional education and association activity. That balance has allowed him to refine trial techniques while keeping abreast of procedural updates. He applies that knowledge directly to the cases he handles.
He currently practices at The Law Office of David E. Gordon P.C., handling civil trial matters.
