David McQuade Leibowitz

"Leibowitz Never Quits." This slogan embodies the energy and hard work David continues to put into representing his clients. David was born in Mercedes, Texas and grew up in Pharr, Texas. He is one of 12 children, and as he puts it, he is "8th from the top, 5th from the bottom, and 2^nd in the second half-dozen."

After graduating from Pharr-San Juan-Alamo High School in 1976, David married his high school sweetheart, Delia Gutierrez. From the Rio Grande Valley, he attended The University of Notre Dame, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy in 1979. After Notre Dame, David earned his law degree at St. Mary's University School of Law and was admitted to the Texas bar in 1982.

After law school, David worked for Phil Hardberger, former Chief Justice of the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals and former Mayor of San Antonio. In October of 1984, with his wife's help he started his own firm, The Law Offices of David McQuade Leibowitz, P.C. David and Delia have three children, Jeremiah, Jessica, and Jacob.

David is a member of the San Antonio and American Bar Associations, State Bar of Texas, San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice. He is also fluent in Spanish.

"As a young lawyer, I felt burdened by the desire to 'wave a magic wand' and have my badly injured clients regain their health to the point where they were before they got injured. I learned quickly that no one on Earth had that kind of power. Everything I fight for today serves two main purposes:

First, to make sure that when my clients have been injured or suffered damages because an insurance company, big corporation, or an individual person did not do what they were suppose to do, my clients have enough money to feed and provide shelter for their families, to pay for any past medicals bills, and to make sure that they can pay for any future medical attention they might need after an injury.

Second, to make sure that those responsible for causing the injury or damages are punished for not doing what they were supposed to do and causing harm to my clients. I want to make sure that the actions, procedures, products, or contracts that caused my clients harm are hopefully changed so that the same harm does not happen to someone else in the future."
