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 -

Great from the first phone call

I called Mr. Yannetti today with my case and he was extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to working with him to get these wrongful accusations dismissed. He is kind, patient and answers all of your questions. Overall, it seems like I went to the right person.

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!

Defense of Criminal Case

David Yannetti was my lawyer for my criminal case. I live out of state and I've got to say that he handled just about everything for me. It started off that I needed to be back in court after just leaving the city and he ensured I was represented. On top of that he made this a very inconvenient exper...ience as I only had to travel up to Boston twice through the year and three month case. The result of the case was just as he told me from the beginning and better. I highly recommend David for your criminal case needs!!!

Wow!!!

I had a Clerk magistrate hearing on January 14th in Metro West regarding a complicated matter. I came across MR. Yannetti through a Google search for "Best Boston Criminal Defense Attorneys". All the reviews that you read below including this one I write today can in no way describe how GOOD Mr. Yann...etti really is. I hope that people don't ever need to be in a situation where an attorney of any kind is needed, but that would be a fairy-tale world. Close your eyes and completely trust this man. I am truly truly impressed. Thank You for everything you do.
