More than I could ask for

In June 2017, my world turned upside down. I was working as a sportswriter in West Virginia when I was arrested for a DUI. Only thing was that I wasn't drunk and I had nothing in my system. Despite this, the officer arrested me anyway leading to me losing my job. I eventually got the criminal case di...smissed but the DMV pursued on anyway. This led me to David Pence who went above and beyond what I needed him to do. He got my decision reversed and cleared my name. I am forever grateful to him and his associates for their hard work on this case. I highly recommend him for any case you might have.

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.
