Outstanding Lawyer

David Heath is a most capable attorney. Charged with a DUI, David Heath successfully disputed an important step in the case that helped lead to the ideal outcome for me - DUI dismissed by the Judge and restricted from public record. David Heath was always available to me THROUGHOUT the process an...d never failed to explain the process clearly. Not knowing who to turn to with this DUI (but, knowing I needed an attorney), choosing David Heath was ABSOLUTELY the best decision I made!! Best possible result achieved.

Excellent lawyer

David is a great professional all around. We hired him to represent our daughter on a shoplifting charge that threaten a permanent record severely limiting her future. He was able to negotiate a pretrial diversion program that resulted on her charges dismissed by the Judge and her record restricted ...from public access. She has now a second chance thanks to David. He is always available and responsive, thoughtful and professional. We highly recommend him.

Misdemeanor in Fulton County

With all of the challenges dealing with COVID and how it affected delays in my case. David kept me informed of the process and next steps. David got my case dismissed and I am very pleased with the results.

Great Attorney--Great case outcome

David Heath has been working on my DUI case since February of 2016. He did a great job gathering evidence in support of my case and providing expert legal counsel--he was always very responsive, often returning phone calls on evenings and weekends to provide answers to all of my questions and address... my concerns. He managed to get my charge reduced to reckless driving with minimal fines. For me, it meant not having a catastrophic charge against me with terrible penalties. I could not be happier with the outcome and his handling of my case. I cannot recommend David Heath enough should you find yourself afoul of the law.

First Class

David will not only fight for a desirable outcome, but he treats you with the utmost respect in the process. David was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns and did so in a way that was personal as well as professional.

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.
