Drawing on a Diverse Legal and Professional Background to Help Injured Ohio Workers
David Wolfram is an Associate Attorney at NRS Injury Law, focusing on workers’ compensation law. Methodical, process-oriented, and possessing a knack for research, details, and case-building, David helps injured Ohio workers by crafting compelling, data-driven case strategies that result in injured workers obtaining the compensation they deserve.
Combining a Diverse Career Background in Helping Others via Workers’ Comp Law
After over two decades of serving in various corporate positions, David went to law school in his 40s to live out his ambition of becoming an attorney and giving back to others as others have helped him. His path into and through law school was influenced by his early years. “We experienced adversity when I was a child,” David said. “Some days it got so bad our utilities would be shut off. Thankfully, there were a lot of people in the community who helped us, and those experiences impacted me and planted the seed of being a service-minded person. Additionally, when my mother was injured at work, a workers’ comp attorney made a big difference in our lives. The attorney helped guide her through the process, advocated for the needed surgical treatment, and was the instrument to her getting her life back.”
David worked in the trades after graduating high school, then went on to become a first-generation college graduate. After building up an impressive resume in the business world, David watched as his mother went to college to achieve her degree in social work. Inspired, David returned to academia by attending law school, intent on entering the legal field to help others.
Leveraging a Mind for Research and a Knack for Strategy to Win Cases for Injured Workers
After working as a family law attorney, David now represents Ohioans injured in the line of work. He spends much of his time studying, researching, examining cases, and generating solutions based on his findings. Building on his background in business leadership roles, David knows how to craft a compelling strategy and execute it successfully. Bolstered by his deep empathy and ability to relate to injured workers in Ohio, David brings these skills and capacities to bear daily in his work for NRS Injury Law.
“The founding members are truly committed to helping others,” David said when asked why he took a job with the firm. “This firm embodies my values of helping others. It’s not a legal firm that operates as just another business. NRS Injury Law is a center of advocacy for injured workers in Ohio. The firm delivers the best possible service to its clients that it can, and thanks to the size of the firm, the dedication of its employees, and the resources it brings to bear, that service is above and beyond what most expect from a legal firm.”
Work/Life Balance
When he’s not representing injured workers as an attorney, David enjoys remodeling his home and finding other ways to work with his hands, be it on his projects or projects for community members. David also collects coins, reads, and studies new ways of solving problems. When the weather’s right, he enjoys exploring Cleveland Metroparks.
