David Smith
Partner, Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete, LLP

David is a partner with over 30 years of experience counseling employers throughout the country and across a wide variety of industries on federal and state occupational safety and health requirements. His transportation industry clients include major trucking companies and airlines. He advises those companies on measures and strategies to comply with the many specific OSHA regulations and, most importantly, to maintain safe and healthy work practices and environments. David is known for working closely with employers to build practical, compliant programs that help reduce risk without compromising operational goals.   

In addition to this focus on prevention, David regularly represents employers when they are investigated by federal or state OSHA agencies as the result of a serious injury or a complaint alleging workplace hazards or retaliation in violation of any one of the over 20 whistleblower laws enforced by OSHA. He helps guide companies through the investigation process, providing clear, strategic advice grounded in his understanding of OSHA regulations, procedures, and practices. If OSHA issues a citation or retaliation determination, then David vigorously defends his clients from those enforcement actions.   

David presently resides in Peachtree City, Georgia with his wife, who teaches elementary school.  He has two grown children, one an IT director and the other also a lawyer. When David is not practicing law, he enjoys World War II history, traveling, and spending time with his family.
