The Best Criminal Attorney - Got All Charges Dismissed - Truly a "Best Lawyer in America"

We worked with David for over 3 months as he tirelessly, meticulously helped our friend deal with serious criminal charges. David was so professional, so helpful, always available, and he went the extra mile for our friend. He is such a presence in the courtroom and is so respected and admired by his... peers and the judges, and with good reason. David ended up getting all the charges dismissed! This was an almost impossible result in our case. David worked miracles. No wonder he's been named to the Boston Magazine "Super Lawyers" list every year since 2007 and named one of the "Best Lawyers in America" by U.S. News and World Report for the second straight year. I cannot recommend David more highly, he really is the best of the best!

David Yannetti Is Hands Down The Best Lawyer In Boston

David Yannetti is not just a great Lawyer he is a great Man. He took on my case with the conviction and energy of a real intelligent, strong, caring, Lawyer who has alot of heart. In my case David took the time to make me feel comfortable and understand the legal system. The case against me was built... on lies from my ex wife who wanted to misuse the legal system to attempt to change our legal shared 50% children's physical custody arrangement which was achieved through the GAL process and Probate Court. The stakes were as high as they could be for a father because if we lost it would be used as a hammer by my ex wife to change the custody of our children and get a way to attack me during the financial part of our on going divorce. David prepared for a full jury trial which ended up lasting two days. David through a strong cross examination of my ex wife clearly showed the jury that she was lying. The Jury came back with a strong not guilty verdict after less then thirty minutes of deliberations. David did not just fully clear my name he gave me the most important gift in the world, my children, because with the not guilty verdict I can use it as a shield to protect my kids, myself and the physical custody of my children. I keep David's business card in my wallet because if I or anyone I know needs hands down the best lawyer in Boston I will have his information at hand.
