Reckless Driving Case

I was pulled over in VA while going 88 mph in a 65 mph zone. I was charged with the absurd charge of reckless driving. I was extremely confused as I am a New Yorker and speeding is a regular normal part of my driving. David helped me navigate through the process and produced the most desired outcome ...possible; case dismissed. He was also extremely polite and constantly available to address my numerous concerns.

Above and Beyond!

If you are looking at this website for a good lawyer I think David's credentials speak for them-self. If that is not enough to convince you that he is on his game, then just read the endless reviews he has received. I contacted David when my friend and I were faced with a very difficult situatio...n that involved 3 pending charges (misdemeanor DUI, misdemeanor refusal to blow, and FELONY hit and run). Like you, I used this website to find a list of 8 or so different "top ten" lawyers to contact and talk about my situation. After contacting 3 of the 8 lawyers and getting the same response from each of them (which was: "your situation is to difficult and confusing for me to handle"), I finally called David. Right off the bat David went above and beyond what any typical lawyer would offer you in terms of service (especially considering the fact that I had not retained him yet). Prior to even discussing cost, David gave me an in depth run down as to what the outcomes of my situation could be. He also gave me his advice as to how to handle the situation moving forward (he even mentioned that I needed to find a lawyer that I am comfortable with, not pressuring me to retain him in any way what so ever). Upon retaining him as my lawyer he immediately got to work by dissecting the evidence and trying to find any possible holes in the prosecutions case. Over the three month lapse between the time of the incident and the court date, David was constantly available (nights, weekends, and even on the night of his birthday). He was available via email, phone, and text. Anytime I had a question he would respond within a few hours (unheard of with most lawyers). Being a former prosecutor himself, David not only has the experience, but more importantly, he has developed relationships with all of the prosecutors and judges in Arlington County. This goes a very long way when it comes to negotiating plea deals. Long story short, on the day of court David was able to get 2 out of the 3 charges dropped COMPLETELY. Ended up being charged with the DUI and received 10 days in jail with 1 yr probation and a restricted license (NOT SUSPENDED). This outcome was far beyond what we were hoping for. At a minimum we were anticipating 30 days in jail, suspended license, several years of probation, and at best a felony hit and run being dropped to a misdemeanor. Needless to say, David knocked this one out of the park. If you are looking for the BEST lawyer in Arlington... look no further my friend.

Reckless driving Case

I will definitely recommend Mr David Dischley to others. He was very patient in answering all the questions and explaining the problem and the solution, both. As his client, i am very satisfied with his hard work and dedication he puts in to the case. He helped in avoiding the jail term for me and th...at's what I wanted for my case. He discusses the steps he would take in the court room before the session starts and he is very polite gentleman. If required, I will definitely hire him again

Amazing Lawyer

I got a ticket for making a turn out of a one way street, after talking to a few lawyers I was unhappy because they all sounded like Robots and then I found David Dischleys phone online and called him he was very nice and explained everything to me on the phone. Today was the Court date and I was... beyond happy to find out that he not only kept his promises put exceeded and I got away with zero points. I hope that I will not need a Lawyer ever again but if I did there is only one lawyer that I will call and that is David Joseph Dischley.

David Dischley got a great result for a reckless driving charge

David Dischley gave clear instructions for the documentation he needed to help me, gave great advice on how to mitigate & defend against a speeding charge, provded detailed, accurate information about consequences of conviction re driving record, insurance, and security clearances, and correctly asse...ssed the likelihood of a reduced charge, and prepared me for court. He knows the Federal and County court systems and processes.
