David S. Bahuriak Jr.

Dave is professional, knowledgeable and aggressive. My husband found himself on the wrong side of the law and needed representation. At the initial meeting, Dave made us feel comfortable and clearly explained the options. We trusted Dave's advice and decided to fight the charges. As soon as w...e went to court, it was obvious we chose the right attorney. Dave was confident and relaxed in the courtroom. He looked like an experienced professional in a room full of interns. After numerous appearances in court, the charges were eventually dropped. Dave did not just try to steer us in the easy direction and tell my husband to take a deal. He was willing to fight for my husband. We are glad we chose Dave Bahuriak as our lawyer.

If we were to lose all manuals, handbooks, guidebooks, and textbooks that impart what the ideal criminal lawyer should exemplify, studying David Bahuriak as he goes about performing his professional duties as a lawyer would more than satisfy. David is the closest embodiment of the living rule of what... a good lawyer should be that I have ever encountered. Building on the skills needed for success in any field: motivation, determination, energy, comprehensive knowledge, and resourcefulness, David methodically analyzed and synthesized all pertinent information to defend my son. His counsel in recommending a bench trial was based on his professional experience and authoritative factual investigation. That recommendation and his meticulous preparation for the bench trial proved decisive in my son’s case. In defending my son, David was prepared to challenge every assertion and refute every contention that might be made by the prosecution. If not for David’s defense, my son would very likely be incarcerated now. Key to David’s success in our case and, I believe, throughout his career is his ability to communicate exceptionally well. He is an active, careful listener, which enabled him to know and understand all aspects of the case. His responsiveness to our inquiries and his respect for our requests boosted and rallied us. As important, David is a clear, fluent speaker who was able to express coherently and convincingly the facts of the case. Perhaps David’s most sterling quality in defending my son was his belief in my son’s essential innocence. His principled confidence and professionalism sustained both my son and me during this difficult situation. David Bahuriak exudes integrity, inquiry, and intellect

Dave is a brilliant attorney. He guided us through the process, explaining each step, and listening to our concerns. He was not afraid to fight for my son's case and go the extra mile to get my son the best deal. Dave's office staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and provided great support to me an...d my family.

I was arrested for a serious violent crime that I did NOT commit. My name and face were all over the news. I was being treated as if I were already guilty. I told everyone that I was innocent, but as I had been identified by an eyewitness, nobody believed me. It was one of the worst things that has ...ever happened to me. David was recommended to me by a friend. He took the time to sit down with me and listen to my version of events. His demeanor immediately put my family and me at ease. I felt that he believed in me. He and his team immediately went to work investigating my alibi. They eventually uncovered absolute proof that I was somewhere else at the time of the crime. Thank God there was a video! After our evidence was turned over to the prosecutor and verified, all charges were eventually dismissed. The detectives who arrested me ended up looking really bad for not properly investigating the case. It makes you wonder how many innocent people are in jail who didn't have great lawyers to do the hard work. I owe David Bahuriak my life. If you have big problems, these are definitely the guys to call.
