Review David Waranch

Got the job done on a moving violation

Posted by

David represented me on a moving violation citation that I received after rear-ending a truck in the beltway. I never had to appear in court and his representation, as well as the ineptness of the police, resulted in a dismissal of the case. David is approachable and easy to talk to, and is great with communication. I would absolutely hire him again and 10/10 recommend him to anyone dealing with a similar situation. Thank you, David!

Speeding ticket services

Posted by

David was engaging and professional from the first phone call up until the last. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to reduce my daughters speeding ticket, in excess of 20 miles over the limit, to a PBJ with a $75 fine. Great service

Very committed and accomodating

Posted by

Mr. Waranch helped me on two seperate occasions. Both were traffic related. After doing some research and reading the good reviews Mr. Waranch has received in the past, I reached out to Mr. Waranch. I was offered a fee that was way better than what I was quoted by others. Mr. Waranch took care of both my tickets and helped me keep a clean driving record. I would highly recommend Mr. Waranch to anyone looking to represent them in the Maryland area.

Excellent outcome

Posted by

I engaged David for a questionable traffic citation. He was attentive, thorough, accessible, helpful, and highly professional. His diligence revealed an inconsistency that I would never have detected and resulted in the judge dismissing the case. An excellent outcome.

Great Experience

Posted by

I had a total of 7 tickets including reckless driving and egligent driving for doing 95 in a 65 with a total of around $1500. David appeared in court for me and I did not have to attend. After the case my ticket was reduced to $165 with 0 points. He kept me updated throughout the process and advised me on what to do. He would always answer or get back to me quickly within the same day if I called.

Not Guilty - Negligent Driving

Posted by

It was a real pleasure having David assist with my case. I received a ticket for "Negligent Driving in Careless or Imprudent Manner" in MD, which could have resulted in significant points, a fine, and insurance impacts. David discussed my case with me (and was very responsive to my questions throughout the process), checked in with me before my court date, and called me right after the trial with the news that I was found Not Guilty. It was an extremely painless and hassle-free experience, and I would definitely recommend his services!

Fantastic, Easy Lawyer to work with!

Posted by

David represented me in a speeding ticket. I had a clean record before this and he did everything he could to keep it that way. He was detailed in reviewing all the facts and building a case for me. He called me a few days before court to go over the case and in the end I was found not guilty and the case was dismissed! I think he was fairly priced and he will work hard for you and your case. I recommend!
