This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Resource! Very timely response!

I had the misfortune of picking up a public drinking charge in Gettysburg, PA, while there from out-of-state at a conference. David was a great resource for a non-resident. He guided me in a timely manner on what my best approach should be, which I have learned will ultimately be expungeable. This gu...y knows the local politics and will represent you fairly.

Great Lawyer

Dave was very nice to my son and I through our case. We were very happy when the charges were dismissed. His firm is great with wonderful staff people.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Mar 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David is an excellent criminal/DUI defense lawyer who is dedicated to fighting for the rights of his clients. He takes the time to not only learn about the law, but also the true science behind the tests for blood, breath, and field sobriety roadside testing. By doing this he almost always knows more than the witnesses the prosecution calls to testify against his clients. I strongly recommend David"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
