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.

David has 14+ years of experience in criminal defense in Mecklenburg County and surrounding counties, and I strongly endorse him in this field.
S. Winiker, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 3, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
David is a well respected, experienced attorney I have known for many years. I regularly refer clients to him and would recommend his services here in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina
Stephen Allinger, DUI and DWI Attorney on Oct 19, 2021
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
David has the rare combination of being a true gentlemen inside and outside of the courtroom yet also being a dogged litigator with unmatched expertise in the field of DWI defense.
Timothy Pavone, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 7, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Mr. Driscoll has the presence and confidence in the courtroom that should make clients very hopeful. For criminal law and courtroom experience you would do good having Mr. Driscoll. i know I’m not the only one who admires his skills.
Keith Rouse, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 19, 2017
Relationship: Friend
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.
Karen Darlington Phelps, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 10, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
David has been a colleague and friend for a number of years and I have seen him exercise nothing short of the highest level of professionalism and respect towards his clients and colleagues alike. David is extremely knowledgeable in the area of Criminal Law and I have been able to refer clients to him having absolute confidence that he would do outstanding work and that they would be pleased with his representation. I endorse David to the fullest extent and wish him continued success in his legal practice.
Christopher Mccartan, Licensing Attorney on Jul 19, 2017

Dave is not 'an;' he's 'THE' attorney I refer all of my dicey DMV issues to. His knowledge of statutory and administrative law with the DMV is unparalleled in the area, and he's also enough of a professional to help me out on matters I have quick questions on.
