To Go Attorney

I am extremely pleased and glad to have my case handled by David. He was very professional, Courteous and prompt during the entire handling of my case. My case was reduced from Reckless Speed to Improper driving. David was very detailed and patient listening to the concern was able to address them ap...propriately. Highly recommended.

Extremely pleased client

Take it from me, as a former partner in one of the largest law firms in the world, David should be your first call on any traffic or criminal related matter in Virginia. He is thoughtful, thorough, and most importantly, gets results. Specifically, here is what he achieved for me over a few month ...period: 1. My Virginia drivers license was to be suspended due to points. When other lawyers said it would be impossible, David was able to reopen a traffic ticket case that I had already paid. Then, he was able to reach agreement with the officer to reduce the ticket to failure to pay attention, an infraction that did not result in points on my driving record. This was granted and I was able to keep my license. 2. I had an old court matter that had been dismissed fifteen years ago, but remained in databases used in conducting background checks. David was able to get the matter officially expunged through the courts. Not only did he swiftly reach agreement with the DA, he was able to avoid me even having to make a court appearance in the process. I have the contacts and the resources to hire any attorney of my choosing, and I would go with David again without hesitation.

Best dwi defense attorney!

After an endless search for a reasonably price yet good and knowledgeable attorney, I stumbled onto avvo where I found some great attorneys who's fees were reasonable. I spoke with quite a few up to this point and was not too impressed until I came across David. Immediately after speak with him br...iefly about my case I could tell that this was my guy. Throughout my case, he kept me informed with everything to expect in court. He also strategically had my court case pushed back so that I had favorable odds when going to trial. On my court date, the prosecution offered me a plea bargain that I did not want to settle for, so we went to trial. At this point I was quite nervous, but David reassured me that the odds were favorable for me and that there was nothing for me to worry about. During trial, David presented my case as a true professional, not missing a single detail in my case which helped in the judges decision. I ended up with having my dwi dropped do to there being insufficient evidence that I was intoxicated whole operating a motor vehicle, I had my reckless driving charge dropped to a speeding ticket, and had my failure to update my address to the DMV dropped. Unfortunately, I did lose my license for 12 months due to failing to administer to a breathalizer at the police station, however I already knew that I was going to get this ruling before I even hired an attorney. I can honestly say that David Dischley was able to get me the best possible results in my court case, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to protect themselves from a dwi charge.

DUI to Reckless - Dave Killed it!

When I got arrested for a .15-.2 DUI I knew I needed a well-recommended lawyer familiar with the Arlington court systems. I found Dave on Avvo and picked him over 3 other attorneys after having an initial conversation with him that made me more comfortable with him than his peers. Throughout the 5-...6 month long process, he always provided me with info I needed with quick turnaround, did a great job setting expectations, and was responsive and considerate to my requests for information and guidance. We ended up achieving an unprecedented outcome on my case that couldn't have happened without Dave's skills and connections. Hopefully he'll never hear from me again, but I could certainly call him again if I got into more trouble! Highly recommended.

Professional and Effective

After a lapse in attention on the highway, I found myself with an appointment in traffic court. From initial contact over a weekend to court resolution a couple months later, David kept me informed, provided advise on actions I needed to take and made my case to the prosecutor before presentation to... the judge. As a result, I received a favorable decision from the judge. I am grateful for David's effective advocacy on my behalf.
