David R. Oakley

David helped me fight two felony charges (vandalism). After the arrest, and after calling his office, he spoke to me over the phone (while he was on vacation, no less!): he was calm and reassuring, answering questions while being clear about the paths the case could take. We met a few times before th...e initial hearing, and David was very clear about the necessary next steps to craft a legal defense, setting my nerves at ease. He knows how to navigate the court system, so was able to accurately predict how the case was able to unfold. Both charges were eventually dismissed, after a thorough case to the prosecutor and judge. Even the judge told me to thank David for a well-crafted defense. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. David is clever, attentive to detail, and an exceptional attorney. Do not hesitate to contact him if you need a defense attorney!

I’ve been working with David on a federal case for the last couple of months. He did an amazing job at keeping me informed with everything going on with my case. He would lay out various possible outcomes but he went above and beyond to look for the best ways to help my case. He always made himself a...vailable to answer all my questions and concerns. David is well respected in the courthouse. He is very professional and caring. He would always find a way to help myself and my family feel more at ease as we faced a difficult situation. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family who need a criminal defense attorney. He gets very involved with his clients and their case and is always looking for the best possible outcome for his clients.

I worked with David over the last few months after having been charged with a fourth degree felony. This was my first, and hopefully last, experience with police and Courts. I was distraught but, from our first meeting, David calmly explained that the situation was not the worst case I was imagining,... and he laid out the various possible outcomes and timelines. He was always available to answer any question relating to my case at any time via phone or email. I believe I got the best possible outcome given my circumstances(including a PTI). I don't think this outcome was easy to obtain and I think it was due to David's ceaseless efforts that he was able to achieve this end result for me. He personally believed in my case and took a lot of time and effort to work with the prosecutor to achieve the end result. During court times, it becomes obvious, in court with the judges and during his inter-actions with the prosecutors, that David is well liked, well known and respected and has a ton of experience in his profession. He was well prepared and in full command of the case in Court. Above all, both for me personally, and observing him interact with his other clients, I got the sense that David really, really cares for clients and he sees a successful outcome for them as his success. I owe David so much. I hope it doesn't, but should the need arise, I would unhesitatingly recommend David to any friend or family requiring the services of a criminal defense attorney. If you need representation, you can't do better than having David on your side.

David was on top of things from the first phone call. He put my mind at ease everytime I talked to him. He was prompt and efficient in all aspects, even going out of his way to get documents that would help my case. He had a presence in the courtroom you would not believe and you could tell he is hig...hly respected among the prosecutors and judges. Mr. Oakley was able to walk into court with a felony charge hanging over my head and turn it into a small fine with the condition of good behavior. Hope I never need a criminal lawyer again but if I do I won’t need to look any further then David Oakley. Thanks again David!
