About David F
David F Wishnew built his professional foundation at Rhodes College, where he earned a B.A. in Economics and Business Administration. He then went on to study law at the University of Texas at Austin, completing a J.D. that combined legal training with an understanding of business and markets. Those two strands—numbers and rules—figure in the way he approaches cases and client problems.
He is licensed to practice in Texas and is active in the state's legal community. After finishing law school he entered private practice in the Dallas area. Over time he developed a practice that reflects both his undergraduate training and his legal education. He favors clear analysis and straightforward explanations when advising clients.
Wishnew maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He belongs to the American Bar Association and the Texas Bar Association. He is also a member of the Texas Young Lawyers Association, the Dallas Bar Association, and the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers. These affiliations keep him involved in continuing legal education and the local bar community.
He practices at Crawford, Wishnew & Lang, where he represents clients in matters arising under Texas law. His academic background in economics and business administration informs how he evaluates transactions and disputes. He often frames legal issues in terms of financial and commercial realities, and he pays close attention to how legal advice will affect a client’s bottom line.
Colleagues describe Wishnew as methodical and direct. He prefers to break complex problems into manageable steps. That approach guides his courtroom work and his negotiations. He spends much of his time on legal matters that require an understanding of both legal doctrine and business implications. Currently he works out of Crawford, Wishnew & Lang, representing clients in civil matters under Texas law.
