Outstanding Lawyer

I had a case that was over 20+ years and the state would not release it so that I clear my record. David, got the court to reestablish my lifeline. I want to thank you again. I would refer him to anyone that had a current or past case, and be confident in the outcome.

Best Decision in Hiring David

David did an excellent job with defending me in court over a traffic citation. I got a citation for doing 90 in a 55 along with various reckless and negligent driving charges with the fines adding up to being over $1,000. I did my research online for finding the best representation and when I came ac...ross David's site I was immediately impress with his background, knowledge, success rate and of course reviews from others. Since our first interaction he has been friendly, professional, and helpful. He stayed on top of everything, I didn't have to go to court (so I didn't have to miss work) and he was able to get me a PBJ which means no points or convictions. He was able to get rid of everything except the 90mph fine. I ended up having to pay $300 but no points, nothing on my record and my insurance company not finding out I'll take that. David helped me get through this practically worry free and I thank him for that and all he has done for me.

Traffic case

Great lawyer. He is very helpful and co-operative. I hired him for one of my traffic cases. He handled the case.

Top notch legal representation

I hired Mr. Warranch after interviewing a few attorneys to represent me in a traffic case. His quote was the most reasonable and his professionalism and knowledge of the county's traffic process instilled the most confidence in me. Leading up to my court date, he kept me updated on the process and wa...s always accessible if I had questions. I did not attend the hearing and had full confidence that I would be represented well. And I was not disappointed! My tickets were dismissed so I didn't have to pay a fine or accrue points. It was a major relief. Hiring Mr. Warranch was money well spent and took stress away from a potentially stressful and costly situation. I would highly recommend Mr. Warranch's legal representation to family and friends.

Excellent Representation

I was issued a speeding ticket by the Maryland State Toopers on August 5 2018. I was returning from Washington D.C. to my home in central New York. I reviewed attorneys on the internet that practiced in the area that I received the ticket. I contacted Mr. Wrench on August 7, 2018 who promptly retu...rned my call. He told me what I needed to send to him and explained the possible outcomes. I transmitted all my information to his office and he confirmed receipt. Mr. Wrench was always very courteous, informative, and responsive. Thank you David for your help and the best possible outcome. I certainly recommend his services.
