Attorney Profiles

David Holtzapfel joined Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe, PLLC in 2006 after working for the firm as a student law clerk during the summer of 2005.  David's path to becoming a lawyer was rather unorthodox as he spent fourteen years in the business world as a retail manager for Pep Boys, PetSmart and Staples.  Finally, in 2003 after much soul searching and advice from his attorney brother, David enrolled in law school as a "non-traditional" student.

David attended the West Virginia University College of Law where he received his J.D. in 2006.  While in law school, David served as Chief Justice of the Moot Court Board,was a member of the M.E. Lugar Trial Association's National Travel Team, and was selected to the Order of the Barristers upon graduation.  David attended the Basic Mediation Training course provided by the West Virginia Bar in 2004 and served as the Magistrate Mediation Coordinator for Monongalia County Circuit Court from 2005 to 2006.  He also had the privilege to serve as a student law clerk to the Honorable Russell M. Clawges, Jr., Chief Judge of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Monongalia County Circuit Court, in the summer of 2004.  Additionally, he was a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Society, a 1L Student Mentor and a Student Orientation Panel Speaker for the incoming classes of 2008 and 2009.

David was born in Weirton, West Virginia.  He graduated and received his B.B.A. from Marshall University in 1989 with a major in Marketing and a minor in Business Management.  Currently, David works in the Charleston office of Pullin, Fowler, Flanagan, Brown & Poe, PLLC where he is infamously referred to as "Super Dave" because he survived getting hit by a mini-van as he was crossing the street to the Firm.
