Amazing straightforward Lawyer!

David helped us out with our son who has had some challenges driving and has racked up some serious offenses. David helped guide us with his clear no nonsense approach and helped to negotiate a good outcome for our son. He remains connected to us as he helps us with additional support for our son. ...We highly recommend his services.

Amazing Result

I am very grateful for Attorney David Bobrow and the way he represented my son during a difficult time. My son was charged with assault during an altercation where my son was not at fault. It felt unjust and unfair. I called several lawyers prior to calling David, all of whom made me more afraid f...or my son and the situation we were in. When I spoke with Attorney Bobrow, he listened in a thorough and intentional way, asking great questions and very much put me at ease throughout our conversation. It was obvious that he was confident in his ability to fight in court if necessary but with a goal of having a great result without having to go to court. He didn't sugar coat anything but kept us secure in the fact that he had the situation under control. My son has unique challenges and so the thought of having to bring him into court or in front of a judge was something I was very concerned about. Ultimately for my son he never had to appear. Attorney Bobrow was able to achieve a full dismissal of all charges without my son ever having to appear. This was an exceptional result. Throughout this journey in talking to other lawyers we consistently heard from lawyers in the defense field that Attorney Bobrow was an excellent choice and very well respected by his peers. I cannot rate my experience Attorney Bobrow high enough. I would absolutely recommend him.

One of the good ones

When selecting an attorney I wanted a good fit. An attorney who was professional, smart, ethical, cared about my case and his ability to represent me, who wasn’t hard to get a hold of, wouldn’t nickel and dime me, and didn’t drag it out. I interviewed over a dozen attorneys. David Bobrow checks all... the boxes and more. David is well respected by judges and other attorneys. He cares about his reputation and he takes his job very seriously. He’s a hard worker. He answers my emails at all hours of the day and on weekends. He gives me facts and doesn’t base anything on emotion. I’ve been working with him for over 2 years (on a multitude of things) and I’ve never once questioned my decision to hire him. He is a gem, I recommend him to everyone I know and I’ll never work with anyone besides him. David is the real deal. He gets the job done and he does it flawlessly.

Peace of mind

I had purchased a firearm at one of the big, well known sporting stores. After the fact I began to have second doubts about the legality of the purchase. I was stressed to the max that I had somehow violated gun laws and contacted Atty Bobrow for help. It took several days and after several inquir...ies, phone calls, and emails Atty Bobrow was able to alleviate my concerns. For that I will be forever grateful. From the moment I first contacted him, through resolution, Atty Bobrow was extremely compassionate, understanding, and supportive. He answered every call promptly, answered every question clearly, and responded to emails readily. All this for someone he had never met. I know that his job but I do sincerely believe he went above and beyond your average lawyer. I strongly recommend him
