The best

If you’re looking at reviews trying to find the right representation then your search should end here. I too looked at many reviews from many different lawyers and found his reviews from not only his clients but from his peers to be highly impressive. I gathered from my research that Mr. Putzi is a h...ighly respected criminal defense attorney and now I definitely know why. I can only try and do the same and add my experience so others may benefit from his expertise. I can not recommend Mr. Putzi enough. I called his office on a holiday not knowing if they would even be open. Not only were they open but he answered the phone himself and scheduled be an appointment for consultation that same day. I met with him and what I found was a hardworking, highly competent caring individual that I knew I could not only trust but would do the best that they could do for me. He was upfront on what I should expect but he told me I was in good hands and boy was he ever right. At court he told me what he we should do and I completely trusted him. He not only delivered but got me more than I ever expected or even probably deserved. Do yourself a favor and stop looking because you have truly found the person to represent you.

Represented me on a Final Protective Order hearing

Mr. Putzi was prepared for the trial and knew the statutes of the law better than the advocate attorneys. The Judge did not order a final protective order because the legal counsel could not prove any harassment or any other violation. I would recommend this attorney to anyone. My spouse had told my ...kids that I would be going to jail soon and that obviously did not happen. Mr. Putzi kept me calm and collected at the hearing as I felt confident with him on my side

Saved me when other said it couldn't be done

Mr Putzi was not the first attorney I hired but I wish he was!! I went through two others and after explaining the situation and they did some due diligence both told me to settle. I refused as I had done nothing wrong. I felt like these guys just wanted the retainer. I reached out to Mr Putzi af...ter I read about him. I thought I would give it one more try. He met with me immediately and listened to everything I had told the others. I was lured in by a "friend" who was accused of stealing a considerable amount of money. Mr Putzi sat with me, called the other attorneys to understand their position and then took my case. He was relentless and I felt like I finally had someone on my side. He was very polite and soft spoken, which I can see why some underestimate him however to watch him work was impressive. We never went to court because he was able to get the case thrown out and I firmly believe the State was afraid to face him. I carry his card in my wallet to this day. All I can say is he believed in me when others did not. He is of the highest integrity and I consider him a great friend as well.

Defense lawyer

This lawyer was exceptional. To make a long story short I got into some serious trouble and with the help of Mr. Putzi he got my charges from a felony to a misdemeanor. Then once I was off probation, he was about to get me a PBJ. He really followed through with my case and really seemed to care.

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

Mr. David Putzi is a fantastic Criminal Defense attorney. Mr. Putzi represented me on four different occassions recently and WON every time. Mr. Putzi is a very honest and aggressive attorney who keeps his clients best interest as his top priority. Mr. Putzi is not afraid to fight for what is righ...t for his client. Mr. Putzi will keep you informed of every option available to you and will not leave you hanging. He turned down a deal offered to me from the state because he believed it was not in my best interest. We went to trial and Won! Most attorneys will usually try to settle to avoid the headaches of a trial. Not Mr. Putzi. He is an excellant attorney and I highly recommend hiring him if you find yourself in ANY criminal situation.
