About David Creasy

David Creasy is a Partner at Claggett & Sykes Trial Lawyers. Mr. Creasy was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and raised along the East Coast. In 1994, he received his Bachelor's Degree in History and Political Science from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. In 1997, Mr. Creasy graduated from the University of Notre Dame School of Law and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, to begin his legal career with an insurance defense firm.

Creasy received invaluable experience in learning and understanding how insurance companies work and operate in evaluating claims and litigating cases. It was in Salt Lake City that Mr. Creasy first began working on medical malpractice cases, professional liability claims, and significant personal injury claims. In 1998, Mr. Creasy moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and began working with the firm Beckley Singleton in the Appellate Division. Mr. Creasy gained valuable experience in appellate practice while working with attorneys who many consider to be the best appellate lawyers in the State of Nevada.

In 1999, Mr. Creasy joined The Gage Law Firm and, for the first time, began working on the Plaintiff side. Mr. Creasy immediately recognized the difficulties injured victims face when dealing with large insurance companies and corporations. Having worked on the defense side, he knew that firm and aggressive action was the best way to bring about appropriate relief for the injured victim. He quickly became involved in working on large complex product liability cases, medical malpractice cases, and auto accident cases involving serious personal injury.

In April 2023, Mr. Creasy joined Claggett & Sykes and currently devotes his practice almost exclusively to helping victims injured due to medical malpractice. While most of his practice is focused in the Las Vegas area, Mr. Creasy has represented clients in a variety of cities and towns in Nevada, including Ely, Elko, Pahrump, Fallon, Yerington, Reno, Carson City and Minden. Creasy has also been asked to participate as trial counsel in other jurisdictions.  Mr. Creasy understands the pain and anguish victims experience due to others' negligence and provides close, hands-on, personal attention to each case to help alleviate the fears and anxiety clients experience as they go through the legal system. Mr. Creasy has settled hundreds of cases without the need for litigation but has the experience and knowledge to file suit and aggressively move a case to trial in the event that a settlement is not possible. Mr. Creasy has served as lead trial counsel in several medical malpractice cases, including a January 2019 $48,630,000 jury verdict against a local hospital and a January 2018 $2,875,000 jury verdict against a local doctor and urgent care.

Creasy is married and has five children and four grandchildren. He is actively involved in his community, children's school, and his church. Mr. Creasy enjoys spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren, running, and playing golf, and is an avid college football fan.
