About David L
David L Selby studied economics and political science as an undergraduate before turning to law. He earned a B.A. from the University of Rochester in 2000 and took his law degree at Case Western Reserve University, graduating in 2004. Those years set the groundwork for a practice that crosses state and federal lines.
He was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 2007 and began practicing in Georgia courts soon after. Six years later he added admission to the New York State Bar in 2013. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which enables him to handle appellate work arising from federal cases in the region.
Selby established his practice in Georgia and has maintained a steady presence there. His background in economics and political science informs how he frames legal problems, particularly when matters involve detailed factual or financial questions. Colleagues and clients have noted that his training produces a methodical approach to preparing filings and briefing appeals.
Throughout his career he has worked in both trial and appellate settings. That mix of courtroom and appellate experience gives him a practical sense of how litigation strategies play out from initial pleadings through possible review by higher courts. He has represented individuals and organizations in matters that required navigating state procedure and federal appellate rules. His admissions to multiple bars reflect a willingness to take cases that cross jurisdictional lines.
Outside the courtroom he remains connected to the bar. He is listed as a member of the State Bar of Georgia and of the New York State Bar, each showing active status. Those memberships keep him tied to ongoing developments in practice rules and appellate procedure.
Today Selby operates The Selby Law Office, LLC. He continues to handle matters in Georgia courts and to pursue appeals in the Eleventh Circuit, drawing on nearly two decades of practice since completing law school in 2004. He currently practices at The Selby Law Office, LLC, representing clients in Georgia and before the Eleventh Circuit.
