Excellent lawyer and a very nice person

Mr. David handled my case to the highest expectations. He is very professional and was very prepared when we first met. He was able to calm me down and feel good from the point I first talked with him over the phone. He was always very quick to respond to my questions and concerns. He is very knowled...geable. my case was complex due to my work security clearance and my immigration status. And he did all the research to be sure how to keep me out of trouble and what to do so my immigration status doesn´t get affected. I checked with several other lawyers before deciding to get Mr. David´s help, and he was by far the best priced and most knowledgeable lawyer I talked to. I could not be more happy with the help and service I got. Totally recommend him to anyone in need of legal help!

Amazing Attorney

Mr. Dischley is a very trustworthy and efficient attorney. I had a reckless driving ticket and I didn't realize the laws in VA. Mr. Dischley explained the process and took the time to make sure I knew what the laws were and what I could expect. This was all done before I retained him. I had spoken ...to other attorneys and no one took the time with me like he did. He kept me informed and calm, because before talking to him I was a nervous wreck shaking like a leaf. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking me through this process and getting me the best results for my situation.

Favorable Outcome - Elevated BAC DUI, First Offense

I'm usually a carefully calculated type of person, where most everything I do is planned and executed as expected. Then, one night, I made the worst decision of my life, went out one Friday evening, lost self-control, and had a few too many. I was pulled over and arrested for DUI, blew a .22, and s...pent a long night in jail. Once released, I did additional research beyond the small amount of paperwork/instructions the state gives you in exchange for your release. I was facing a mandatory minimum of 10 days in jail, a 1-year license suspension, heavy fines, and of course, Virginia's infamous permanent criminal record. After consulting other attorneys who didn't provide any piece of mind, nor did they make a significant effort that they would aid my defense, I reached out to David upon personal recommendation. David was able to outline all the logical possibilities, what outcome we would try to aim for, and the potential strategies for my defense. A lot of the fear from this comes from the unknown, and there is a lot of that with a DUI charge. David reduced this tremendously from the start. Ultimately, the state had a solid case against me. There were no holes to exploit. David was able to come to an agreeable positive outcome with the Commonwealth Attorney. I pled guilty to the DUI, but at a lower BAC (.19 vs .22), with a reduced mandatory jail time of 5 days vs. the proposed 10. First and foremost - always be *safe and careful* not to drive in an illegal manner. But if you end up in an unfortunately situation, David will passionately, swiftly, and thoroughly fight for your defense.

Best in the area

I was looking at some hefty jailtime and felony charge I stressed several time how important it was that it not intervene with my career and not going to jail he made sure that did not happen. I am very thankful that he was able to reduce my charge to misdemeanor. It was a small court in a rural area... where I felt I didn't have much of a chance but thankfully with David's help I was able to come out with less then I was expecting. He is very professional and to the point he does not sugarcoat your situations he will be very honest on what's to come but do everything he can to keep you calm and assure you of what he thinks he can accomplish. I am currently dealing with him on another situation to help gain money taken from me. Even though the case is over he has still awsnered questions and been quick to respond he is a great attorney. I couldn't ask for anymore and he was quick to make sure after the case that I was satisfied with my outcome he genuinely seemed to care about what my feelings were after it was all over. He deserves 5 starts if I could rate higher I would. Thanks again for all your help David! Also would like to note when I consulted with David I had already seen previous lawyers and paid quite large sum of money with no real answers to my case David gave me alot of insight in what was to come free of charge this a really stand up attorney not asking for consultation fees but providing me with real answers with the amount of stress on my shoulders! I say hire him dont look any further.
