About David

David Weiss is an attorney at Copeley Johnson Groninger PLLC. He works alongside colleagues at the firm to advise clients, manage disputes and handle transactions. Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and pragmatic at the negotiating table.

He completed law school and entered private practice. Early in his career he worked on matters that required both litigation strategy and practical problem solving. That period shaped a methodical approach to case preparation and client counseling. Over time he took on greater responsibility for case management and client relationships.

At Copeley Johnson Groninger PLLC, Weiss has continued that blend of courtroom work and client advising. He handles matters that require close attention to factual detail and careful drafting. He appears in hearings and settlement conferences, prepares pleadings and contracts, and meets directly with clients to map out options. His day-to-day includes research, motion practice and negotiation. He balances the demands of urgent deadlines with the longer view required for transactional work.

Peers and clients note his clear communication. He explains complex legal questions in plain language and sets realistic expectations about timing and outcomes. That approach helps when a case turns on subtle points of evidence or when a business deal needs precise contract terms. Weiss also works with colleagues at the firm on multi-party matters, coordinating strategy and dividing tasks to meet tight schedules.

Outside of client files, he participates in firm discussions on case strategy and helps mentor junior lawyers. He values thorough preparation and often drafts memos that lay out an issue’s contours for the team. He maintains professional relationships across the courtroom and the negotiating table, drawing on those connections when a swift resolution is possible.

He keeps current on developments that affect his clients and adjusts tactics as rules and market conditions change. His practice balances advocacy and advisory work, addressing immediate disputes while also helping clients reduce risk through careful planning. He currently practices at Copeley Johnson Groninger PLLC, where his work centers on advising businesses and individuals on commercial and civil matters.
