About David S.
David S. Mays works quietly from an office on 200 Jefferson Ave, building a practice grounded in courtroom work and appellate filings. He is a lawyer who moved from law school into active practice without a lot of fanfare. The result is steady, practical work in state and federal courts across the region.
Mays earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi in 2011. His time in law school overlapped the period when many young lawyers were sorting out clerkships and starter roles. He chose to enter private practice and has remained on a path that emphasizes courtroom procedure and written advocacy.
After graduating, Mays established his practice under the name David Mays PLLC. Over the years he has taken cases that required appearances in Tennessee and Mississippi courts. He is also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which brings appellate work into his caseload. That combination of trial and appellate access shapes how he prepares matters and advises clients.
Colleagues describe Mays as methodical in his files. He tends to approach disputes by mapping the procedural route first, then turning to the substantive law. That habit shows up in how he drafts briefs and prepares witnesses. He favors clear organization over flourish and aims for arguments that judges can follow easily.
Mays is a current member of the Memphis Bar Association. He participates in local bar activities and stays connected to the legal community there. Those ties keep him engaged with changes in practice and with peers who handle a range of civil and appellate issues.
He runs a small office at 200 Jefferson Ave, where he handles client meetings, filings, and court-bound work. His practice has focused on matters that require appearances or filings in the states where he holds licenses and on appeals before the Sixth Circuit. He manages a caseload that reflects the dual demands of trial-level advocacy and appellate briefing.
In day-to-day terms, Mays splits time between preparing litigation documents, meeting with clients, and appearing in court. He maintains professional ties in Memphis and in the broader jurisdictions where he is admitted. He concentrates his practice at David Mays PLLC on matters in the state and federal courts where he is licensed.
