About David
Biography
Superior Approach = Exceptional Results. My criminal defense practice incorporates a holistic approach to your particular case. My clients benefit from my experience and unique ability to find holes in the government's case. Your best chance at getting the outcome you want and deserve, requires you to retain an attorney who will do the hard work and develop a solid defense. This is one area of law that requires significant attention to detail and the ability to think strategically. Equally critical to achieving successful results in the courtroom, requires constant communication throughout the entire legal process. This customer service focused approach is necessary in building trust and confidence between an attorney and their client. I pride myself on developing personal connections with my clients. I make sure I'm available to anwser questions and ease the concerns of my clients who are facing tough challenges and uncertainty. My clients know, regardless of whether it's day or night, when they call -- I answer.

David Howard Klayman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have personally witnessed Attorney Klayman in action! He is an absolute beast in the courtroom. I wholeheartedly endorse him for his advocacy and knowledge of the law."
"Dave is a charismatic and knowledgeable attorney. His experience as a former LEO is invaluable to his practice and he can provide knowledge and experience few attorneys can. Dave is one of the hardest working attorneys I know who constantly goes above and beyond."
"I first encountered Dave Klayman at a District Court hearing in Delaware County. I was immediately impressed by his presence and confidence. Due to court delays we ended up chatting for quite a while. From that discussion I was able to learn about Dave's background as a US Marine, former Police Officer, and now a second-career attorney. In addition to Dave's command of the court through his physical presence, Dave possesses a thorough understanding of the laws impacting his clients. What is also impressive about Dave is his willingness to learn new matter and put in the time to train himself for whatever matters his clients represent to him. If I personally required representation in a matter, there would be few I would seek out beyond Dave Klayman."
"David has an innate sense of the law. I cannot think of anyone I'd recommend more highly."
"I endorse David Klayman. He is as credible and competent as anyone would want in their attorney."
"David is an experienced litigator with experience on both sides of the aisle. This allows him to quickly separate fact from fiction and develop a complete understanding of the case. In addition to his knowledge and ability, David is a passionate fighter who champions his clients’ interests and zealously advocates to get them the best result possible."
"I cannot recommend Dave highly enough for his acumen in the law (criminal defense or otherwise)."
