David prides himself in providing his clients with top-notch, aggressive legal services. He developed the firm's multi-level DWI binder that changes the game with regard to DWI defense, and we seem to add a different level after every case. Beyond general personality and reputation, this level of precision is what has people waiting in line to meet him. Then when you add Attorney Ryan T. Smith to the equation, you immediately get what has already been awarded as one of the Top DWI Firms in the area.

While his clients are dealing with serious legal matters, they trust David to analyze the situation and develop a plan to achieve the best possible outcome.

As part of that plan, David puts top-priority in keeping his clients informed. With assistance from the RTS Law Group legal team, his clients do not have to stress out about the details or what is going to happen next.

Since he started practicing law in 2002, David has focused on defending his client's rights against criminal charges and adverse actions filed by the State of North Carolina and the Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles ("DMV").

David has lived in Charlotte, North Carolina his whole life. He is married with two children. While not practicing law, David spends time playing live music and developing his love of Classical and Fingerstyle guitar.

Responsive and adaptable

David was extremely personable and easy to talk to. He and his team were easily accessible and responsive to any inquiries about my case. From the first time talking to him, I felt confident that he knew the proper route to take and he communicated this accordingly. I appreciated his willingness to keep fighting for the result I wanted. I felt I was in competent hands from him and each level of his staff. He seems like a person who truly cares about his clients.

If I could give David and his team a million stars I would! Not only were they immediately responsive, they were able to have all my citations dismissed just as fast. I will definitely be sharing his name with all my friends.

Great experience!

David helped tremendously with my recent speeding ticket. We spoke over the phone for just a few minutes and everything was handled from there in a matter of a couple of weeks. I received constant updates from his office through both text messages and emails. This was an extremely easy and stress free experience and I am so thankful!

Out of town Speeding Ticket

I recieved a speeding ticket that required a court appearance, and I live out of state. RTS was extremely helpful and professional through the whole process. The matter was quickly settled, I did not need to appear in court, and the I felt confident in their care the whole way through.

Great DWI Attorney, Highly Recommend

I contacted Mr. Driscoll the day after I received a DWI charge in Uptown Charlotte. He immediately began to help and got my license back the next day. He was incredible with explaining all relevant legal scenarios and asked how I wanted to approach it. Leading up to the final court date, he was successful in completing every request I had for court dates and delaying for a time period. On the final court date, I was extremely impressed with how prepared he was and how well his oral arguments were presented. He had all relevant cases cited and printed to hand to the judge and prosecutor. He gamed out scenarios that would happen in court and they played out almost exactly like he predicted. Every argument from the prosecutor was tactfully countered. He was successful in getting my DWI case dismissed. I strongly recommend Mr. Driscoll for any DWI case.

License reinstatement

Mr. Driscoll reviewed the information and knew exactly how to help. He explained the procedure clearly, gave us a time line and everything came together just as he described. The work had to be done in five different counties and was not easy. He reassured us and took the weight off our shoulders. That's a great feeling. Jenna, too, has this gift of making us sit back and relax. We were kept informed. This firm is the one for you!

Best Attorney in Charlotte

If you're in search of an attorney, look no further. I hired David Driscoll to handle a speeding / reckless driving ticket. David and the RTS Law Group team made me feel like a VIP client from start to finish. Excellent and timely communication throughout the entire process. Most importantly, I could not have asked for better results as David was able to have my citation reduced to an equipment violation. Thank you David, you and RTS Law Group are the best in the business!

Top Attorney Who Will Fight For You

One of the best decisions I ever made was to hire David as my attorney when I was arrested. David represented me in Superior Court, and his deep knowledge and relationships combined with his strategic thinking prevented consequences that would have impacted my life and career for many years. Instead, he helped me get a pre-trial program (deferred prosecution) that resulted in the charge being dismissed! David always explained all options very clearly, and I made the decisions. He did not over-promise as some lawyers do, and he explained complex concepts for a laymen so I really understood. Everyone in the court system knows and has respect for David's ability as a top defense attorney in Charlotte. I highly recommend David and his team. They were available anytime I needed, from the initial incident (on a weekend), to any questions that arose through the process. His team members, especially Will and paralegal Jenna, are ON IT - professional, timely and very down-to-earth. It's stressful to have to hire a lawyer, but you can't go wrong with David Driscoll.

Best possible outcome!

I called and had gotten Mr Driscoll as my lawyer right after my charges. Facing some felonies he had told me what could happen in these cases and he never gave me any false hope, trust in his plan and process because all of my charges have been dismissed! Mr. Driscoll and his paralegal team are very efficient, they will make sure you understand what is going on. I highly recommend Mr. Driscoll and RTS Law Group If you need any legal help please see them!

DUI and Criminal Negligence Charges

I received multiple charges including a DUI with criminal negligence and researched the best attorneys specializing in this area. RTS Law Firm was highly recommended. David Driscoll represented me in both Mecklenburg and Union County. His knowledge and skill set were apparent and unparalleled in the courtroom. David and Jenna, his assistant, kept me informed every step of the way including reminding me of dates, appointments, instructions and making the process professional, efficient and friendly. My case had several court sessions which took over a year with a very favorable outcome for me. They are a great team and worth every penny because they are committed to representing their clients to the fullest extent. Thank you to the entire RTS Law Firm! Kevin

Got my DUI charges dismissed. Excellent service, Professional & Organized

David Driscoll & Ryan and their paralegals are a great team to have on your side. They are Professional, well organized and prompt to respond.

He’s a blessing

Was looking at a DUI. Not my first either. If found guilty was looking at jail time, lost custody of daughter and great stress for my sick mother. David is strategic with every move that he and his team makes. He takes calculated risks, That will work in your favor. Trust his process as he will keep you updated and informed the entire time. So if you want the best and receive the attention that your case deserves call this man! He’s the real deal Side note: He’s not just a lawyer but he actually cares. I remember when I told him that my daughter lives with me full time. He gave me some of the best advice.

Very impressed with this attorney

I found Mr. Driscoll to be exceptionally knowledgeable. He made sure that he communicated with me clearly and advised me of the best way to proceed. The matter appears to have been someone trying to extort money from me, using a phone app. He answered all of my questions and put me at ease. He also provided additional resources in the event that they would be necessary

"I'm going to tell you something about David. I have known this man since the first day of law school. I immediately sensed the favor of God on his life from the first minute in David's presence, and one of my greatest regrets of law school was not investing more time in being his friend, even though we were friends. During the three years I was in school with him, I never saw him do anything unfair, unkind, or inconsistent with everything a legal professional ought to be. God forbid that anybody in my family should need a defense lawyer, but if David represented that person I would not worry about the quality of legal counsel David was providing."
