David Chavez brings courtroom experience from one of the country’s largest law firms to the people and businesses of Las Vegas. An Associate Attorney at Africa Sanchez Law, David represents clients in civil and business litigation, appeals, and First Amendment matters; the kind of high-stakes disputes that demand precision, preparation, and a lawyer who knows the rules cold. He is fluent in English and Spanish, and he measures his work by a single standard: meeting each client’s goals.

What David Can Help You With

Before joining Africa Sanchez Law, David built his career in the Litigation Department at a national law firm, representing banks, lenders, and media organizations in state and federal courts nationwide. He now brings that experience to a firm known for standing with its community. His work includes:

• Civil & business litigation  – contract disputes, commercial cases, and complex civil matters.
• Appeals & extraordinary writs – David has secured reversals and extraordinary writ relief from the Supreme Court of Nevada.
• First Amendment & media law – he has blocked subpoenas directed at journalists, newspapers, and television stations, and conducted pre-publication review for podcasts and television segments.
• Consumer financial services – representing lenders and financial institutions in litigation.
• Open records & government transparency – litigation to secure access to public records.

David also supports the firm’s clients on constitutional and civil-rights questions, an area of growing importance for immigrant families in Nevada.

Experience That Sets Him Apart

David is known for his intimate command of the Federal and Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure, and for turning that knowledge to his clients’ advantage against their adversaries. Before practicing, he served as a law clerk to U.S. Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada; an experience that gave him an inside view of how courts think and decide.

Beyond the Courtroom

Long before he argued his first motion, David performed on some of the biggest stages. A classically trained musician, he has played with the Las Vegas Philharmonic, served as principal violist of the Henderson Symphony Orchestra, and performed on live international television at the Latin Grammy Awards. He has also appeared as a backing musician for actor and comedian Seth MacFarlane and as a soloist with the UNLV Symphony Orchestra. The discipline, precision, and composure under pressure that music demands are the same qualities he brings to every case.
