Meet David Tapalian ⚖️
For Attorney David Tapalian, representing injured people isn't simply an area of practice—it has been the focus of a legal career spanning more than 20 years.
David's Rhode Island roots run deep. He earned his bachelor's degree from Brown University in Providence, concentrating in Public Policy and American Institutions, before earning his Juris Doctor from Roger Williams University School of Law. After graduating, passing the bar examinations, and becoming an attorney, David did something that says a great deal about the way he approaches his career: he opened his own law practice and has continued building it ever since.

But David's professional background extends beyond the courtroom. According to his firm biography, he has also owned and managed his own business enterprises for approximately 20 years. That experience brings another perspective to his work—understanding responsibility, communication, problem-solving, and what it means when an unexpected injury disrupts someone's ability to work, earn a living, or take care of a family.

Today, David concentrates his practice on representing people who have been injured in accidents, including motor vehicle crashes, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, slip and falls, pedestrian accidents, dog bites, workplace injuries, and other personal injury matters. His biography notes that he personally prepares and works on his clients' individual cases rather than treating them as simply another file. Tapalian Law
And his experience isn't limited to one state. David is admitted to practice in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida, as well as the U.S. District Courts for Rhode Island and Massachusetts. That multi-state experience requires staying familiar with different laws, procedures, deadlines, and insurance issues that can affect an injury claim. Tapalian Law
Over the course of his career, David has helped injured clients and their families pursue compensation after serious accidents. He is a member of the Rhode Island Association for Justice and American Association for Justice, has been recognized as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers, and has received multiple Avvo Clients' Choice Awards.

But credentials only tell part of the story.
At Tapalian Law, the philosophy is personal representation and responsiveness. When someone is dealing with an injury, medical appointments, lost income, insurance calls, and uncertainty about what happens next, David understands that they need more than paperwork—they need someone willing to listen, explain the process, and advocate for their interests.
