About David N
David N Arnold built his law credentials through a steady course of study and practice. He earned a B.A. from Middlebury College in 2001 and completed his J.D. at the University of Memphis in 2005. Those years set the foundation for a career spent largely in Tennessee courts and in federal appellate work.
He began his legal career in 2005 as an associate at Cordts & Gulley, PLLC. The early years at that firm gave him regular courtroom exposure and the practical experience that young litigators often need. He handled client matters, worked on pleadings and motion practice, and learned the demands of timed deadlines and courtroom procedures.
In 2009 he became a member of Gentry Arnold, PLLC. That role marked a step into greater responsibility. Records list him as a member, and his role there spanned a period in which he took on broader case management duties and client-facing work. The move also reflected a steady progression from associate to a more senior role within a firm environment.
More recently, in 2023 he established The Arnold Law Office, PLLC. The change brought him into private practice under his own firm name. He runs the office and manages the administrative side of a small practice while continuing to handle client matters in court and at settlement.
He is admitted to practice in Tennessee and to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. That combination of state and federal admission means he can represent clients in both trial and appellate settings that touch the Sixth Circuit’s jurisdiction. He also maintains active professional memberships, and continues to engage with peers in the local legal community.
Across two decades of practice he has remained based in Tennessee and has moved from associate roles into firm membership and then into his own practice. He now operates The Arnold Law Office, PLLC, where his practice focuses on representing clients in matters arising in Tennessee and in proceedings that may proceed to the Sixth Circuit.
