Criminal speeding

David was really great to work with on my criminal speeding case. I live out of state and needed someone to represent me when I couldn't make it to my court dates due to work. Maine has been pushing for jail time when caught doing 30mph over the speed limit. David had the jail time dropped and inste...ad, I was able to do 20hrs of community service and pay a fine. He has handled everything professionally and has kept me informed on anything the court has requested. I Would highly recommend him if you find yourself in the same predicament.

Defending a charge of "Attempting to operate without a license"

David was very professional and has an excellent knowledge of the law. i had a restriction code on my license indicating that I could not operate a vehicle if I had consumed any amount of alcohol ( "0" tolerance.) The arresting officer's report had many discrepancies. my initial thought was to try to... discredit the report. David explained that to do that would be next to impossible because I had no proof that the report wasn't accurate and it would only be unfavorable for me to take that approach. Instead David formed a defense using the accurate statements in the officer's report that indicated my vehicle was not running and that I was on my cell phone when he approached me. it was cold out and I had previously started my car with a remote starter to heat up the car so I could call a friend on my cell and get a ride home because I had consumed alcohol. I never put the keys in the ignition and was not attempting to drive. David worked with the DA and was successful in having the case put in a "filing" category for 12 months and if no other arrest happen during that period the file would be removed. I did not have to plea guilty and no fine was imposed. The one year suspension on my license was rescinded by the bureau of motor vehicles, this was a accomplished because David had clearly explained to me the process involved with a hearing which gave me the knowledge to request a dismal when the arresting officer failed to appear due to a scheduling error. I could not be any happier with the outcome of my case. I had total confidence in David right after our initial consultation and he continued to impress throughout the entire process. David cares about his clients and is to be commended for his superior skills as an attorney. Many thanks David John

Knowledgeable and Proffesional

David Wood was very professional to work with. This was my first arrest for an OUI and when I had consulted with Mr. Wood he made me feel at ease. He was very kind and professional when we met and had kept good communication throughout the whole process. Mr. Wood was very knowledgeable with the ME St...ate law and the intricate parts that an OUI arrest and conviction entails. With his help I was offered a "differed disposition" which ordered me to complete several requirements. I did so successfully and I was granted a dismissal. Mr. Wood had saved me from having an OUI conviction placed on my permanent record. I am grateful that I had chosen Mr. Wood as my lawyer and I would highly recommend him.

Honest. Strong willed.

I could not believe how well I was represented by Mr Wood, he showed me what I was facing and what to expect in a very straight forward way. Both times I used him my charges were dramatically lowered and it really saved me a lot of money long term. I highly recommend him. He will do the best he can a...nd then some to make sure your taken care of.

Excellent

David was amazing throughout our long and very stressful journey in the court system. Any time I had a question, or just needed reassurance, he was always there. We wouldn't be where we are today without David and all his help, we couldn't be more grateful. I would recommend his services to everybody... I meet! Thank you again David, we are forever grateful!
