Welcome to davidcrump.com, the
website of The Law Offices of David L. Crump. David Crump is a trial lawyer with
offices located near Seattle, Washington. He is recognized as a six time
"Super
Lawyer" (2000-2006) and
"Rising
Star" (1999) in Washington law and limits his
practice exclusively
to representing and protecting the
rights of individuals. He will not represent any
corporate or government entity, believing that the large
corporations and governments of this country possess greater
resources and power and wield a far greater influence over the
individual than they should. Sadly, few lawyers are willing or
trained to take on these non-human entities and do battle in
pursuit of justice for the average person, the "little guy".

Trial Lawyer's College /
Gerry Spence
David Crump was one of only 50 "Warrior"
lawyers selected to attend Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers
College during the month of August 1996. The Trial
Lawyer's College has been held each year since 1994 at the
Wyoming ranch owned by Gerry
Spence. The purpose of the college is to train these "Warriors for Justice"
to be winning trial
lawyers for the people against the
large corporations, insurance companies and governments who,
in pursuit of power and profit, exert a disproportionate
influence and control that threatens the rights of
individuals.

The Importance of
Storytelling
May I tell you a story? Long ago, before
there were history books or the written word, mankind's
only form of communication was the spoken word.
Information that was essential to mankind's survival was
passed on, from generation to generation, by storytellers.
Each tribe had storytellers, and when the tribe would
gather in the field, in the cave or around the fire for
warmth, rest and safety, the storyteller would
communicate the truths essential to survival; truths
about the day's hunt; truths about threats to the tribe;
and other important information. Because this
communication was so important to the continuing survival
of the tribe, the storyteller's words, by necessity,
carried great impact and credibility. In much the same
way now, for the preservation of mankind's most essential
freedoms, trial lawyers tell stories in the courtroom,
simple stories, to juries. Gerry Spence said it best:
"Great trial lawyers tell simple stories." I
say: "Tell simple
stories to persuade juries."

Gerry
Spence has been a great influence, having taught me the value
of living an artistic life, of being real, and the great power
that one acquires by becoming a real person. For more information
