Simply the best.

Hiring this man was a no brainer. From the first phone call, I knew that he was going to do anything and everything he could to make sure I was treated fairly and I would have the best outcome. Everyone makes mistakes and David Lampman was very sympathetic to the situation and talked me through every...thing. Not only was he available whenever I had questions, but his office staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. This was more than a transaction. 5 stars!

Posted by Dennis | June 27, 2024 | Hired Attorney

Highly Recommend

David Lampman provided an exemplary legal service in handling my case. From the start he provided a me with step by step explanations of what to expect and what he anticipated would be my best outcome. Mr. Lampman as well as his assistants were always available when I had questions and showed real ...compassion to my concerns. I highly recommend Lampman Law.

Highly Recommended

I was faced with a number of charges including one felony charge. Needless to say, if I was convicted I would have had some major problems to deal with. Mr. Lampman took my case and handled it with the upmost professionalism. He clearly outlined the process and potential outcomes and was very re...sponsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he got the best possible outcome for me. The DA declined to prosecute AND he got all the charges expunged. Mr. Lampman performed exceptionally and I highly recommend him.

Posted by Krystine | October 31, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

An amazing lawyer with a great team! Couldn't ask for better.

I'll try to shorten this as much as possible. So I messed up royally and got a DUI; I then stuck with a public defender because I heard it was easier. My case was an interesting one that had a lot of "questions" around it, so I assumed my PD would look through it thoroughly. Well..No.. MY defender di...d not do a good job at all and I was charged with much more than discussed. After receiving notice on charges in the mail, I had literally hours to fix everything because it was the last day to do anything. I called Attorney Lampman's office extremely upset and immediately explained my situation. He and his team instantly got to work on my case AND attempted to calm me down. Within hours he had a motion filled out and personally dropped off. I spoke with him in person that same day and he set up a payment plan. Down the road: 1st hearing didn't go as planned and i was about to give up, but he stuck with me. He walked me through ALL of my options and went over the ins and outs of my case THAT DAY. And also, talked to me; wanted to learn more. Next hearing came, I got exactly what should have been given the first time with the PD. However, if it didn't, he had a game plan for every possible scenario that could have happened after that hearing. I cannot express my gratitude enough. He never made me feel ashamed of the DUI or 'dumb' for not getting all the information from the PD. He spoke to me like an equal and as an adult; not being to hard but not sugar coating anything. Every time I would get discouraged (because at that point everything was going wrong & this had been going on for a while now) he would say to me "Have a little faith in me, WE'RE going to get through this. This is what i do." keyword there is we're! He genuinely cared about my situation and wanted to help me out of the hole i dug for myself and my PD dug even deeper. Moral of the story: Attorney Lampman was absolutely amazing and I could not be happier! The whole team including the receptionist was so professional and kind. Thank you so much! PS. go with a lawyer, don't try the "cheaper route" with Public defender. Some are great i'm sure, but don't take that chance. Even though they set me up with a short but accommodating payment plan, (especially considering they had to do everything within hours) the price was not something that I had expected to pay. But in the long run, it would have been less expensive for me to get a lawyer from the beginning. And of course if you go with a lawyer, give Lampman a call first! Sorry so long!

Many thanks! I am very happy that you are satisfied and that we could right the wrong that happened in your case. It is always great getting a positive result; however, it is awesome when it happens to a client that is so worthy of relief. Thank you for trusting me and my office, it was a pleasure working for you. By the way, there’s no such thing as going “too long” when you’re saying nice things about a criminal defense lawyer. LOL. Thanks again.

Would recommend

Was very knowledgeable of legal procedures in a different county, quick to respond to questions and helpful with courtroom procedures being my first time in court.
