Knowledgeable Attorney Who Gets Results

I called David Tarr a couple of days before my court date, and after consulting with him on the phone, I felt confident about hiring him. He knows the law and was able to guide me through the process that I would potentially go through. I'm so grateful that I did because what could have been a DUI wa...s changed to a traffic ticket, and it was all over quickly. I am now able to move on with my life, and would recommend David Tarr to anyone in this situation. He was very professional and easy to work with.

DUI

David did a superb job at getting my DUI expunged. The consistency and accuracy that he provided for me was excellent. He literally saved me from the extreme inconvenience that would have occurred in my life if I would have had a DUI on my record. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to win ...a case.

Highly recommended

David Tarr totally saved me from going to drug court. He did everything he could and got my charges expunged. David is very easy to get along with, genuinely cares about his clients and is always available by phone or email. His knowledge and experience got me out of jail and kept me out of the court... system for a very reasonable price. I am very thankful for his excellent services and would recommend his practice to anyone in need. I can not thank David enough for his invaluable help and determined efforts to help me through this situation.
