David Larsen is an experienced civil litigator who started his career practicing in Southern California. David relocated to New Mexico several years ago and practiced with a national defense firm before joining Mayer LLP. Utilizing an aggressive and thorough approach, David has won numerous dispositive motions in both state and federal courts and obtained a defense verdict in a products liability/wrongful death case in one of New Mexico’s most plaintiff-friendly venues.

David’s practice centers around defending corporations and individuals in high exposure personal injury and wrongful death cases, though he also has significant experience handling consumer litigation, business litigation, construction defect litigation, landlord-tenant litigation, dram shop claims, and insurance coverage work.

In his spare time, David enjoys spending time with his family and friends, rooting for his hometown sports teams, and playing guitar.
