With over 30 years of experience in Law, David Drivon has a vast amount of history making him a pioneer in his local community. Those around David would describe him as ( a “Driven Drivon” if you will). Though hard work is nothing new to this family, David has always taken it a step further to provide the best legal counsel for his clients and never failed the family name.
After receiving his law degree from the Humphreys College School of Law, dubbed as the “Drivon School of Law” after his brother Laurence Drivon, David was eager to begin his career.
Licensed as an Attorney since 1991, David Drivon first began his career as a San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney.
From 1991 to 1998, Mr. Drivon prosecuted criminal cases as a Deputy District Attorney for the Office of the San Joaquin County District Attorney. He later moved on to private practice representing personal injury victims with Laurence, or Larry Drivon.
As a team both Larry and David have represented thousands of injured clients, including hundreds of adult survivors of childhood clergy sexual abuse. This process involved a successful prior effort by Larry and others to lift California’s statute of limitations allowing individual survivors to pursue justice against the Catholic Church decades later as a class of plaintiffs. After years of evidentiary discovery, litigation, and zealous advocacy on behalf of clients, these efforts resulted in a historic settlement in favor of these victims with millions of dollars in damages awarded. Vindication of individual rights and justice for those injured at no fault of their own drives a true and professional ethic that compliments David’s vast experience.
