David W. Anderson
Senior Counsel
Education comes in many forms. For David Anderson, he learned much about the world while working in a country hardware store. “I learned a lot about people and things like plumbing and electrical fixtures, and I still use some of that in my work today,” David says. “If we have a client who has had an electrical fire, I know what they’re talking about when they talk about a circuit breaker.”
David continued with jobs that taught him a lot through college. He drove a Head Start school bus. “That was fun,” David says. “I told the kids they could do anything they wanted as long as they didn’t fight. We all started singing on the bus every day, and the mothers told us they could hear us coming two blocks away.”
David is still known for his hard work and upbeat attitude. At ELPO, his research and writing talents are a great asset, as he often writes briefs and does research for other attorneys. The ability to research online and through databases has revolutionized his job, making the task of finding supporting case law more efficient.
David’s work focuses on business and other civil litigation, including insurance coverage matters. He also works on issues in education law, including teacher and student disciplinary matters. He researches findings for health care providers concerning compliance with various federal and state laws and regulations, and he works on appeals in the federal and state courts.
David is married, and has two grown step-children and three grandchildren.
