About David T.
David T. Crumplar moved from the study of history into the study of law. He earned a B.A. in History and Political Science from Gettysburg College in 2006. He then completed an M.A. in Irish History at Queen’s University Belfast in 2008 before turning to legal study at the University of Richmond School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 2012. Those years of historical study inform the way he reads documents and constructs chronology for a case.
After law school he entered practice and now works as an attorney at Jacobs & Crumplar, P.A. He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and Delaware and represents clients in matters that arise across both jurisdictions. The firm maintains offices in Georgetown and Wilmington, which serve as bases for courtroom appearances, client meetings, and case preparation.
Crumplar holds memberships in several professional organizations. He is a current member of the Pennsylvania State Bar Association and of the American Association for Justice. He uses those affiliations to stay current on procedural developments and to participate in continuing legal education offered through those groups.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing a case. His academic training in history has left him comfortable with archival research and documentary analysis. That translates into a careful review of records and timelines when he prepares pleadings or deposition strategy. He is also experienced in the practical demands of litigation, including drafting briefs, managing discovery, and preparing witnesses for testimony.
Outside the courthouse he balances case work with time spent mentoring newer lawyers at his firm. He contributes to internal training and helps coordinate the logistics of cases that span state lines. The day-to-day work can range from courtroom advocacy to detailed motion practice, and he handles both courtroom obligations and behind-the-scenes case management.
He currently practices at Jacobs & Crumplar, P.A., where he focuses on litigation in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
