Meet the Team: David Vicknair

Hi, I’m David Vicknair, one of the partners at Scott Vicknair Law Firm.

I ended up in law school because my dad convinced me not to be a football coach. He pretty slowly orchestrated this through both my family and family friends in the coaching community, who encouraged me to forego coaching and pursue law.

He had been a teacher and a coach early in his career, and I think he saw my potential in law and wanted me to pursue a legal degree.

Law and coaching may seem like completely different career paths, but looking back, football and law aren’t that much different. At the end of the day, a lot of what I do at the law firm now is coaching: directing different employees on how to handle situations, motivating our team and clients, focusing on results and processes, and ensuring that our processes and cases are handled the right way from the beginning.

At the firm, I am primarily responsible for overseeing both our pre-litigation and litigation attorneys and our personal injury practice group. I try to do my best at ensuring I’m providing our lawyers and staff with the tools necessary to succeed.

I’m always focused on two key things:

1. How do we make sure that we’re focusing on winning for the client the right way?

2. How do I provide the most positive and efficient systems in a work environment for our employees to thrive?

It’s my belief that if our attorneys and staff are in an environment where they can thrive, it will create a winning situation for our clients, too.

And here at Scott Vicknair, we are hyper-focused on that, always focusing on how we fight for the win for our clients.
