David C. Wenholz has over a decade of trial experience.

Mr. Wenholz has been practicing law for 17 years. He decided to open his own firm almost six years ago to concentrate on helping ordinary people and small businesses understand their rights and solve their legal problems. Being the first lawyer on either side of his extended family, Mr. Wenholz knows first hand how folks feel about lawyers and their perceptions about our justice system. This background has shaped the way advice and counsel is given at the firm - straight forward, practical and respectfully. Mr. Wenholz firmly believes that the lawyer and client should be a team, with the lawyer clearly understanding his role to be honest, professional and to fully inform the client so the client can make sound decisions about his or her case.

Despite being an Aggie, Mr. Wenholz and his family are fully entrenched in the Austin way of life. He has two lovely daughters, keeping him and his wife busy. He is also an animal lover - being the proud owner of dogs, cats and horses.
