WORTH...EVERY...PENNY

Mr. Lockhart was very involved from the moment he took my case and went above and beyond for both myself and my family. He drove over an hour on more than one occasion to make sure he had everything he needed from me (I had lots of relevant documented information), and then he used that information e...xpertly. He also made sure my family's questions were answered and their fears were calmed as best he could. Mr. Bradford worked hard behind the scenes and together as a team they achieved results that can only be described as a best case scenario. Results I hoped for, but couldn't have reasonably expected, until it happened! My case was resolved without me ever having to formally appear in court, something I didn't even believe was possible. A situation that could have gone very badly instead was completely turned around due to Mr. Lockhart's expert use of the information at hand and the skilled negotiation done on my behalf by both Mr. Bradford and Mr. Lockhart. My family and I will always be grateful for all the help they provided.

Back on track

David was very knowledgeable in how to handle my criminal case. He tackled it head on from the initial consultation with out hesitancy and was able to give me multiple outcomes and solutions from best case scenario to the worst and I hadn't even hired him yet!. I had court coming up in 2 weeks facing... an aggravated assault charge and I was on edge for months about this so I hired him and that was the best decision I've ever made. David jumped right on it and was able to get my case dismissed without me even stepping foot in a court room, I can honestly say he is more than just an attorney I felt as if he honestly wanted to help me get my life back I've never had any serious offenses on my record mostly traffic and I almost lost my clean slate. I have thanked him multiple times and I still reach out to him even after my case was dismissed just to check on him and his family because he cared enough to help me keep mines together.

Excellent & Knowledgeable Attorney

I would highly recommend Mr. Lockhart to others. I was treated with professional grace and he was very knowledgeable in handling my concerns and addressing the issues at hand. I would be very honored to recommend him to any one of my friends or family.

The best

Mr David Lockhart came out to my home for the first time for a personal injury case. We had a interview with fox 5 that morning. He was so nice to my family . My child was hurt on school bus it was long shots but he took my child case. He was completely honest with us. I previously had a attorney the...y was no help at all. I like that he will keep you informed on your case. I would definitely reccommend him for my legal need Thanks Mr David Lockhart

"David is very knowledgeable of the law, and very sympathetic towards his clients. He is very passionate about his work and will give his all in all of his cases, big or small. Anytime I'm contacted by a potential client seeking an attorney outside of my areas of practice, David's name is always the first one that comes to my mind. Highly recommended."

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David is a well prepared and aggressive advocate for his clients. He is smart and will think ahead and anticipate legal obstacles that your case may face, and he will work hard to put his ideas, plans, and tactics into action to overcome those same obstacles. I have seen him in court and have referred clients (and friends) to him. Finally, don't be fooled by his seeming lack of experience; While he recently finished law school, he was a paralegal for several years pror to that and attorneys whom I know who worked with him then hold him in high regard."
