Caring, knowledgable, and always available

Handled my case and was always two steps ahead of me when I called him regarding mail. Took care of everything without me having to miss work and handled everything to the best outcome possible in this situation.

So glad we hired Mr. Salter

If you are in need of a criminal lawyer in Gainesville I highly recommend David Salter. A year ago my son faced felony charges and, as you can imagine, we were feeling extremely stressed and anxious. He was the third lawyer we interviewed, and both my son and I felt almost immediately that Mr. Salter... was the best fit for us. We felt he cared about helping my son and seemed very knowledgeable and competent. He also charged us a flat rate that was actually less than the retaining fee quoted to us by the other lawyers. When he saw my obvious relief, Mr. Salter explained that he looked at facts surrounding the case and charged us according to the amount of time he estimated would be needed to successfully resolve it. I remember as we were leaving his office it felt as though a tremendous weight was lifted from our shoulders. Mr. Salter has provided professional, reasonable and exceptional service. He patiently and promptly answered all of our questions and ultimately was able to negotiate a deferred prosecution agreement. My son has just completed the agreement terms and all charges have been dropped (again, a tremendous relief). I strongly advise you to hire David Salter as your lawyer.

Great to work with, punctual and extremely helpful

David took my DUI case in January of 2012 and was extremely helpful from day 1. It was the first legal trouble I had gotten into. He educated me on what exactly the process would be that I was going to undertake and kept me up-to-date on information from the courts as soon as he received it. His fees... were extremely reasonable and was always able to be contacted when I needed him. David took on a few other legal issues for me as well, and was able to get me the best possible deal for me out of them. He really put effort into my cases and did not stop until he did all he could do. I would, and have, highly recommended David to friends whom have also been in legal trouble.

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.
