DUI Charge Reduced

David did an amazing job with my case, got 2 charges out of 4 removed, including DUI. Never had an issue contacting him throughout the whole year my case took. Very confident in the courtroom and definitely got the best outcome possible for me, 100% recommend.

Posted by Daniel | February 22, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

A Stellar Attorney

I hired David to represent my son's criminal charges. My son had 5 charges against him. David was able to get those charges dropped and we pleaded out to a misdemeanor with no fines and no recorded record on my son's name. David took the time to explain our rights and the court proceeding and wha...t to expect. David is now apart of our family contacts. Never know when you will need an EXCELLENT Attorney that's AFFORDABLE. Plus he's very stylish!!!! lol just check out his socks!!! Great Job!!!! David Heath!!!!!

"Better call David!"

I was in a perfect storm situation. I was unemployed, I had just started TBI medication and I was pulled over for DUI. This gentleman saved me! He was able to bring this to a quick end so I could get back in the workforce!

Nothing but Awesome!

David was very thorough and straight to the point. He gave me the steps necessary in advance to make sure my charges would be reduced. I can’t thank him enough!!

Posted by Jackie | December 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Highly recommend!

I have been working with Heath on my case since April of 2015. He has been a huge support to me as we waited for my case to be heard and was always very knowledgeable on what to expect. All charges were dropped in November of 2018 and Heath was there with me the entire 3+ years while we waited for th...e case to be resolved. I would recommend David for any of your DUI needs!

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I cannot give a bigger endorsement to David Heath. Very rarely have I met a young lawyer who has immediately gone into court to fight and win cases. David is an excellent advocate who not only cares about his clients but also is willing to take direction from other lawyers in order to hone his legal skills. David is already a very good lawyer who will be a great lawyer one day. I cannot say enough good things about David. He has my full endorsement."

"David is a great attorney. What stands out about him is his preparation before stepping foot in the courtroom. I even witnessed him get a better result than the plea offer in a very difficult trial. David is the epitome of a zealous advocate and I highly endorse him."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
