David Iversen

Before joining Kelly Law Team, David was a Partner at Hacker Murphy, LLP, where he managed a demanding caseload of 100+ litigation and trial-ready cases. He has first-chaired more than a dozen jury trials and consistently delivered outstanding results at mediations and arbitrations, ensuring favorable resolutions for his clients. One of his most notable achievements includes securing a $9.5 million settlement in a complex motor carrier crash involving 18 estates and billion-dollar corporations—the highest result in that county’s history.

 

David’s expertise spans catastrophic injury litigation, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and class actions. His dedication to legal excellence has earned him industry recognition, including being named to Super Lawyers “Rising Star” (2017-2025) and Best Lawyers “Ones to Watch” (2021-2025) for personal injury, medical malpractice, products liability, and commercial litigation.

 

Beyond the courtroom, David is committed to mentoring young attorneys and fostering legal education. He has led law clerk programs, overseen new litigation associates, and actively participated in professional and charitable organizations, serving as a Board Member for the Capital District Trial Lawyers Association, Albany County Bar Foundation, and the American Cancer Society of the Capital Region.

 

David earned his Juris Doctor from Albany Law School and his Bachelor of Arts from the State University of New York at Albany. Licensed to practice in Arizona and New York, he brings his depth of litigation experience, strategic mindset, and relentless pursuit of justice to the Kelly Law Team’s growing Litigation Department.

 

We are proud to have David as part of our team, where his trial advocacy skills and client-first approach will continue to drive success for our firm and the individuals we serve.
