A speeding violation
I contacted Mr. Driscoll to represent me in court re: a speeding violation. He was prompt in returning my phone calls, most often the same day. He's charismatic & has a respectful working relationship with local judges. I was more than thrilled with the resolution of my citation.

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."
