My Story:

Dave Meyerson doesn't like to blow his own horn - but he is actually very good at it. Dave is a gifted trumpet player. He began taking lessons when he was in second grade and by the time he was 11 he packed his bags for the first of many enjoyable summers at the prestigious Interlochen National Music Camp in Michigan.

"Playing the trumpet was a wonderfully enriching experience for me," says Dave. "It fueled my lifelong love of music, and helped me meet and interact with many exceptional people from all walks of life. It also taught me how to be a good team member."

Nowadays listening to music provides a safety valve for Dave, particularly after a hectic day at the office. His musical tastes range from jazzy sets performed by Wynton Marsalis to the big band sounds of Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie. But it is classical music that soothes the "wild beast." "When I drive home I put on the classical music station and the stress of the day melts away," says Dave.

Although he could have been a music major at Ohio State University, Dave opted to major in criminal justice. But up until his senior year at OSU, becoming a lawyer was not on Dave's radar screen. Fortunately, a chance discussion with his roommate ultimately led to a law career.

"My roommate had taken the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT) exam and reviewed his answers with me," says Dave. "I instinctively knew the answers to many of the test questions. We both agreed that I should take the LSAT on the next testing date and see how I would do."

Dave scored so well on the LSAT that when he applied to Cleveland Marshall School of Law he immediately secured a spot as a first-year law student. "I knew then I had found my correct career path," says Dave. "I've always believed in the importance of fair play and the Golden Rule and these principles are the basis of any good legal practice."

As a Workers' Compensation litigation attorney with Seaman Garson LLC, Dave's ability to see justice done for injured workers makes his job particularly rewarding. "I've always liked helping people," he explains. "Even though not all my clients personally say thank you, it's those clients who give me a hug or send me a nice note that make me feel that I have touched their lives in an important way."

Dave doesn't have to worry about effectively touching people's lives. His warmth, keen intelligence and lively sense of humor are greatly appreciated by his wife Cathy and their two children.

"It is my nature to make people happy," says Dave. "That's why I give it my all as a plaintiff's attorney at Seaman Garson LLC."
