David Kirsch

I was threatened to be fired from my job after 16yrs of work. David fought for me and thanked God and him I was able to keep my job. The process was so stressful, but David kept me calm and confident. He was transparent and kept me post it thru the entire process. I so appreciate him, specially durin...g that difficult time.

I first met David at about 10 pm on holiday after spending almost 22 hours in jail accused of driving while intoxicated. Unknown to me at the time, my husband had hired David earlier that day after receiving a recommendation from our family attorney. Without hesitation, David accepted the case and c...ame to criminal court in Manhattan to defend me on that holiday night. I have never been in a criminal court room, much less a defendant in a criminal proceeding, and I was scared and clueless as to what was going on. All I did know was that I had been up for over 24 hours, without a shower and sitting next to people charged with much more serious crimes than me. David handled the arraignment flawlessly. Because I had a high “blow”, the ADA was only offering a misdemeanor, 2 days of community service, a 6 month suspended license and an ignition interlock device on my car. That night David rejected their offer and afterwards explained the strategy he would use to convince the ADA that a misdemeanor was an excessive plea given my age, (read: Mature lady) and the fact that I have never been involved in a criminal proceeding. Well, it took several months, 2 postponements and calls to the ADA, her supervisor, and the lead ADA for both misdemeanors and felonies to get them to re-consider their offer. This was the hard, behind the scenes work that David did for me! Of course, there was no guarantee that David would be successful, but I felt very comfortable that David had the experience and the ability to argue for a reduced offense. In the end, David was successful, the charge was reduced to a violation, I had my license suspended for just 90 days and the community service was eliminated from my plea. I could not be happier with the work that David did for me. He is great guy that was fully engaged on my behalf with extensive court room experience, (he was also an ADA in the Bronx for many years). David has a keen mind and a friendly person.

Words cannot express how grateful I am having had David help me with a false allegation my ex-girlfriend made against me. It's very easy to communicate with him, regardless of your schedule. He always answers your texts and emails and returns your calls if he's temporarily unavailable in a timely man...ner. Also, rest assure that he will fight for you until the end and will never give in. Dave, thank you again for everything you've done for me. You're the best damn attorney in New York City!

When I got arrested at 3:00 am I called my brother from the holding cell at 5:30 am and he immediately conferenced David on the line. As soon as I spoke to him he alleviated all my fears and told me what to expect for the next few hours. When he arrived he was able to negotiate my felony down to a vi...olation and I was out of there in a flash. His contact information definitely needs to be shared with family and friends in case of emergency.
