David M. Chester
CEO & ATTORNEY
Attorney David M. Chester has been a personal injury lawyer in Ohio for most of his legal career. After suffering a childhood injury at the hands of a careless driver, Attorney Chester understood the suffering that an injured victim endures. When he decided to become a lawyer, representing injured Ohioans was the obvious choice. From a single office, David built a law firm with 16 offices located in Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Youngstown, and surrounding areas. Early life experiences helped reinforce the fact that injured victims need compassion as well as competent, professional, aggressive representation. It is this philosophy that has defined Attorney Chester and brought him the success he currently enjoys.
Attorney Chester received his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Pre-Law from Bowling Green State University. He obtained his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Cleveland State University College of Law, where he graduated 2nd in his law school class. After winning numerous law school awards, he finished in the top 3% on the Ohio Bar exam. He then moved from his home in Parma, Ohio south to Akron, Ohio where he established his main office.
Attorney Chester is licensed to practice law in the State of Ohio and the Northern District of Ohio Federal Courts, and he is a member of the Ohio Association of Justice, a group of Ohio trial lawyers dedicated to fighting for the rights of injured Ohioans.
Attorney Chester lives in Northeast Ohio where he enjoys movies, going to sporting events, swimming, and racketball.
