Criminal and child custody

Mr. Damico helped through the process of working through a difficult custody case and a frivolous criminal charge my ex brought against me. I ended up after the lengthy amounts of arguments and cases with custody of my kid almost half of every month and found not guilty if the ridiculous charge that ...was brought against me. He doesn't pull any punches and he'll give you his no BS opinion on things. I greatly recommend him, and thank you Mr. Damico for getting this father time to spend with his daughter. She recognizes and now.

Preferred teammate in the courtroom

I had a very lengthy custody case. Mr.Damico handled all the paperwork in a very timely manner, he was honest about expectations and always able to find time to talk about the case leading up to it. In the courtroom, I couldn't have been more impressed. The evidence was presented in a precise manner.... His experience and expertise in law was an amazing display. I felt confident in my case and ultimately I was given everything I asked for. I will most definitely hire Mr.Damico for any other cases.

Thank You

Damico handled my case professional and efficiently. He communicated with me frequently throughout the months prior to my trial- answered questions, updated me on new information/evidence, and made me feel at ease. I was very impressed with how he handled himself and my case in court. He was a total ...rock star. About 5 minutes into the trial, Damico had the judge ruling me Not Guilty, releasing me of a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana - an offense that could have affected my career and professional reputation. I can't express enough how thankful I am to have hired him!

Top Attorney

We hired David Damico to defend our son in a criminal case. Before hiring him, we learned that Mr. Damico is well-experienced in successfully representing the defendant in criminal law cases. Naturally, that was very important to us. We also learned he has a reputation for being a very good attorney... who is a no nonsense straight shooter who looks out for the best interests of his clients. Our experience with him showed us that his reputation is well deserved. Mr. Damico went to great lengths to help us understand the court process. He communicated with us frequently to let us know where things stood in the legal process as well as his intended strategy to try to bring things to a positive conclusion. During the hearings and the trial, I was impressed with his court presence and the respect that he received from both the presiding Judge and the Commonwealth’s prosecuting attorney. He was always well-prepared and during examination of the witness, he further demonstrated his excellence by the quality of the questions posed to the witness. We will be eternally grateful for the outstanding work that David Damico did in representing our son. Thank you Mr. Damico.
