Great Lawyer!

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.

11 charges 9 not guilty!!!!

My name is Marella and I am ecstatic of the way Mr. Bahuriak represented me in court, he did an impeccable job and I highly recommend to any and everyone that needs a criminal defense lawyer who knows the law and gets the job done to call David Bahuriak! I have been represented by Mr. Bahuriak on two... separate occasions since 2013 which reference the same incident and on both occasions he fulfilled his purpose to the fullest. During both court hearings Mr. Bahuriak had "NO" hesitation to stand up against the Bridgeton Police Department to defend my honor and to clear my name. I was charged in March of 2015 with 11 different charges and found not guilty of 9! *Please fill free to review my case that was televised by FOX 29 news to see David Bahuriak's work for yourself*

David Stephen Bahuriak Jr.

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
