Appealed Case- Saved me

I got charged with a 90/55 on I-95 in February of 2017. I went ahead and did all of the requirements my previous lawyer suggested. The judge hammered me with a misdemeanor, fine, and a suspension of license. This was terrible, especially for a young university student. I had an absolute clean record ...as well. She did drop my speed from 90 to 86 which is a huge difference in severity when it comes to reckless cases. I decided to appeal. This was my last shot. Desperate, I did a lot more research for a lawyer and I found David Dischley. Immediately, he assured me that everything will be OK and there is a good possibility to get a result in our favor. I must add his rate is extremely fair especially when comparing it to most lawyers in the area. The choice was obvious. Come court date, the first thing he said to me was "your case is dismissed." Never more had I been so relieved. I had this dark cloud over my head for about 8 months and the worrying dissipated. He negotiated with the officer and prosecutor and convinced them that I did everything to show that I was genuinely sorry for the bad call of judgement that night. Amazing guy and amazing lawyer. Do not hesitate to let this man defend you. Thank you David Dischley, you saved me.

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!

Excellent advice

I have had a couple of driving-related issues in recent months and I have picked David's brain repeatedly for advice. David has always responded to my inquiries quickly and with solid, spot-on advice. He has been extremely helpful, forthright, and encouraging. If you have serious traffic issues, do ...not hesitate to contact David.

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.
