Posted by Gavin | September 13, 2012 | Expungement

One of the few personal, fairly priced, and responsive criminal lawers around.

He got back to all my emails immediately. Was honest about the amount of time he would take to finish my case. Fair about how he charged me. A kind guy to trust with your representation of character. And got started as soon as I asked for his help. He even included expungement when hiring him for a f...riend. Strongly recomend his proffessional service.

Top Rate Lawyer with Vast Knowledge and Experience of Gainesville's Legal System, Providing Clients with Professional Courtesy

The first time I used David Salter's services was in college, in February of 2008. He provided me with outstanding service that went above and beyond any attorney I have ever worked with. What absolutely amazed me, is that he was able to do it at an extremely reasonable rate compared to EVERY other... attorney I had spoken with in Gainesville. I had a resisting arrest with nonviolence charge, and I am ecstatic that I was referred to David Salter. When consulting my case, he was straightforward with me, laying out all my options and explaining each one in detail. He took personal attention to the case, making sure I fully understood my options and that ALL of my questions and concerns were answered. His personal concern for my case made it much easier to cope with the complications and pitfalls of our legal system, and allowed me to make a thought-out, educated decision. I felt that David not only worked on my case, but also took into account the desires I had for my future and the negative affects a charge would have on my record. He took the effort to consider my college and career goals, knowing that our legal system can unjustly affect us far into the future. His legal services went beyond the scope of representing me in court, as his expertise was available to me each step of the way. His knowledge of our judicial system and its inner workings truly earned my respect, as my future is not something I was willing to take a gamble on. I highly recommend David Salter to anyone who has a need for a criminal attorney. No matter if you’re an adult or college student. Since I was a college student at the time of my first incident, I can tell you that he treats all of his clients with the utmost respect. I’m glad I found an attorney who didn’t think I was just another drunk, college kid and was able to focus on my legal needs. Any time a friend runs into an incident with the law, I strongly urge them to give David Salter a call. I directed a couple friends to him, and they were just as pleased as with the services David Salter has to offer. So if you find yourself in a situation with the law, I highly advise you to contact David Salter, Attorney at Law.
