About David
David Kervin earned a business degree at the University of Louisiana at Monroe before turning to law at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. His legal education combined business training and courtroom preparation. That mix informs how he evaluates cases and advises clients.
He holds admissions across state and federal systems. Kervin is admitted in Louisiana and Texas, in the District of Columbia, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials allow him to handle matters at trial and on appeal across multiple jurisdictions.
Kervin founded Kervin Law, LLC and leads the firm’s work. He built the practice to address litigation that may move from state courts into federal proceedings or on to appellate review. The firm’s structure keeps him directly involved in case strategy, filings and courtroom appearances.
He maintains an active membership in the American Association of Justice. That professional connection places him in a network of litigators who exchange trial techniques, procedural updates and appellate developments. He has used those resources to shape arguments and approach complex procedural questions.
Clients and colleagues describe his work as focused on practical outcomes rather than theory. He balances courtroom preparation with motion practice and brief writing. When a case requires oral argument, he prepares to present it clearly and efficiently. When the work calls for written advocacy, he concentrates on organizing the record and the law so judges can follow the argument.
Kervin’s admissions to the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court mean appellate procedure is part of the practice, not an afterthought. He organizes appeals to reflect factual records developed at trial and to highlight legal questions that appellate courts review de novo. At the same time, day-to-day litigation work keeps him in state and federal trial courts across Texas and Louisiana.
The arc of his career moves from a business undergraduate training through formal legal study to running a small litigation firm. That path gives him both the procedural grounding and the managerial experience to shepherd cases through multiple stages. He currently practices trial and appellate litigation in Texas and Louisiana and in federal courts, including the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.
