Krystal Charles former Assistant Deputy Warden for the NYC Department of Correction

David was recommended to me by Colleagues from the Department of Corrections. He handled a criminal case for me . I think he charged me approximately 4K or 4,500 I do not recall but it was along those lines. He was a good attorney he just utilized a lot of profanity and he was passionate about how he... felt about other collegeaues that he felt with and judges in his time of practice. He was able to have my criminal case cleared and closed with no penalty or charges and I was greatful. In addition, when I went to the courts to file paper work and have meeting with the judges on my custody case he was helpful because when I was in the court house filing the paper work and petitions I called him a couple times for his guidance and although he had my criminal case he was helpful in guiding me in the custody case , child support case and visitation case. So, he was reasonable , affordable, helpful and honest about his feelings about the judges we had to deal with during these proceedings. He just curses a lot but he is cool and down to earth .
