Very impressed from day one!

I first called for a free consultation on Labor Day and was surprised that it was David himself that answered the phone (on a holiday)! Right off the bat, he had a lot of knowledge about my sort of case and walked me through what would happen. He asked questions that I would not have considered mysel...f, and even encouraged me to do my research on other law firms. I shopped around and read a lot of reviews of different attorneys but after speaking with David, I felt I could trust him to help me through my Magistrates hearing. He was very helpful in describing to me exactly what to expect because I have never been accused of a crime before. He knew a lot about the diatrict court where my trial was being held and was very familiar with the clerk as well. He and his paralegal, Lisa, made me feel much more comfortable about my hearing. David came early to the courthouse to coach me through what my hearing would be like and ask me some questions about myself. He was very personable in his demeanor and helped me feel more at ease. I felt that he genuinely wanted to help because he understood exactly how I felt in my situation. When it came time for my hearing, David spoke very well on my behalf and achieved a positive result for me, so I have nothing but great things to say about him. Highly recommended!

Outstanding

I recently retained David Yannetti to represent a family member against allegations that were completely out of character but could have had a very negative result. David responded on short notice and agreed to represent us on this matter. He was kind, understanding, insightful and immediately focus...ed on a solution. David was incredibly effective and obtained results that far surpassed our expectations. He is a very skilled attorney who is focused on obtaining the best results for his client. David also is a highly ethical attorney and resolved our issues with the minimum time and expense to us. We were so fortunate to have David represent us and I highly recommend him to any one needing legal representation.

Very experienced and obtained terrific results!

Our recent experience with Attorney David Yannetti was great. He is very knowledgeable, accessible, and professional. We did a lot of research before approaching to David and had faith in him. He is well known and well respected at the Court. When judges and other staff hear his name, they show great... respect and trust. Himself also enjoys the feeling when he and his team are able to "prevent harm from being done to promising careers". As a very experienced lawyer in Criminal Defense, David is also very good at listening although he already knew next steps and strategies. He puts himself in other people's shoes and shows respect about what's been done. He trusts his client, listens to them, explains all the possibilities and be realistic about the turnouts while being optimistic, too. He and his team made things go much easier than I had anticipated and I know the result can be very different without their involvement. With his help, I was able to obtain a terrific result and minimized the impact on my career/future/life. I really appreciated all the hard work and the time they've put into. We are very, very satisfy for having David and his team as my legal representation. We highly recommend Yannetti Criminal Defense Law Firm!

Recomendation of David R Yannetti

Attorney Yannetti, has represented me for the past two years. He has worked diligently to have an unjustified charge dismissed. David met with me several times, he personally attended the court hearings with me. I felt very confident having David represent me. I would highly recommend him to any...one in need of legal representation.

Right action

My wife and I received a phone call from our BU college junior stating that he had been arrested and charged with two felony charges. The unimaginable had become our reality. I sought out the best Boston criminal defense attorney I could find. A referral from a local principle partner in New York sti...rred me to David Yannetti law firm and David in particular. Initially my felling was that our case might not warrant his attention.My conviction was to find the best I could to navigate this great and potentially forever life changing process. I reached out to David via his web site and in short order David phoned me. During our conversation I immediately felt in my heart that David was the person I wanted to lead us through this process. David rearranged his schedule to meet my family. Our meeting laid bare the landscape we faced the potential consequences my son faced and how David would navigate the case.The fees for David's services were fixed and in my estimation reasonable.I will emphasize that what we were facing and the consequences we all faced , my son in particular was my focus- fees were not. The result in our case is that my son will have no record or have to explain this situation ever again. I sent this text to David after my sons appearance: Your better than me - you have removed a major character check from my conscience- although my heart expected this outcome - I am so aware of outliers in what I do as a trader and was trying to find strength in my own character to be strong for my family if the unimaginable happened. Robert is a great kid - this episode and consequences hopefully is a life learning exercise- and I pray he's better off for the experience. I know as a parent and husband I grew a bunch - I am so grateful you were carrying the sword And this is what I sent when the court made its decision: Great job - you are of true value - glad you were the life line we reached for and grabbed ahold of -
