David Harbin - Highly Recommended

David Harbin was recommended to us by an attorney we had previously used. During the initial consultation, Mr. Harbin was knowledgeable, friendly, and competent. He gave us a fair price and we hired him immediately. He kept us informed throughout the process and worked to get the best outcome poss...ible. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing an attorney.

An experienced lawyer who really cares

Dave was hired by a family member to represent them for several charges including a DUI charge. With this situation not being something we were familiar with and knowing the possible sentences could really interfere with several positive changes that our family member had made since the incident, we ...relied on Dave's expertise. Dave was not only thorough, determined, reliable, personable, compassionate, helpful, caring, available, supportive, but he helped put together a compelling enough case that delivered the results (sentence) that we were hoping for with a situation that seemed like the odds were against our family member. He did not shy away from the difficult details and went above and beyond to get the needed details for his case. Despite being one of his busiest times of the year, he responded to every email in a timely manner and gave his undivided attention. We are so grateful for Dave and the experience he brings and would highly recommend him. We have happily been able to move on, but Dave will always hold a special place in our hearts for all of his hard work and compassion.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
