About David
David Zevan is an attorney admitted to practice in both Illinois and Missouri. He combines courtroom experience with organizational leadership in bar associations that center on trial work. Colleagues know him for steady advocacy and a long-standing presence in regional legal circles.
He earned his law degree from Saint Louis University School of Law in 1987. He also completed undergraduate studies at the University of Scranton, where he majored in political science and history, graduating in 1987. Those academic years gave him a foundation in legal doctrine and in the political and historical contexts that shape disputes in court.
After law school he pursued work across state lines, obtaining admission in Illinois and in Missouri. Over the years his practice has been carried out in settings that require preparation for trial and direct engagement with judges and juries. He has handled litigation that moves through discovery, motion practice and, when necessary, trial. The trajectory of his career reflects steady involvement in litigation rather than a shift into an exclusively transactional practice.
Outside the courtroom he takes on roles in professional organizations. He currently serves as President of the Missouri Association of Trial Lawyers. He is also an active member of the American Association for Justice. Those positions place him in regular contact with peers who handle jury trials and complex civil matters. His work in those groups includes participation in educational programs and professional events aimed at trial lawyers.
Zevan practices from ZDR Law Office, where he continues to handle cases that require courtroom readiness and procedural knowledge in both Illinois and Missouri. He remains involved in trial-lawyer circles while managing a caseload that reflects the procedural demands of modern civil litigation. He concentrates his practice on trial litigation in Illinois and Missouri.
