David Klink

Celebrating Justice

In this episode of “Celebrating Justice,” trial lawyer David Klink of Klink Law shares his journey from a law firm assistant to a dedicated plaintiff’s lawyer, offering unique insights into the legal landscape and the importance of perseverance.

Initially exposed to personal injury law while aiding his father’s criminal defense practice, David’s career path shifted dramatically during the 2008 financial crisis, which drove him to study law in Las Vegas. David then gained significant litigation experience working at a small medical defense law firm, handling complex med malpractice and wrongful death cases. This foundation enabled him to transition to representing injured plaintiffs, a role he felt called to pursue.

David’s approach to law is marked by his willingness to take on unique, challenging cases other firms might reject. He shares memorable cases that shaped his practice, including defending a nurse in a board complaint and securing justice for a man assaulted by a security officer at a major retailer.

In his “Closing Argument,” David emphasizes the privilege of helping clients navigate the justice system and acting as an advocate for those who do not have a voice.
