Top Tier

I had consultations with several attorneys regarding a third-degree felony, and Attorney Jancha was by far the most impressive. After our initial consultation, he was the only attorney who took the time to personally call me back to see if I had any follow-up questions. He was also the only one to as...k about my desired outcome, which made me feel like he genuinely cared about my case and the resolution. Within just a week of hiring him, thanks to his expertise and deep understanding of the law, my case was reduced to a misdemeanor, with time served and adjudication withheld. He made sure that all the necessary paperwork was filed on time, and he kept me informed and involved every step of the way. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome and grateful to have had Attorney Jancha handling my case. His fee was reasonable and fair, based on the charge and the work required to secure such a favorable result. If you’re looking for an attorney who is dedicated, professional, and truly works for the best possible outcome, I highly recommend Attorney Jancha.

Best Attorney in Volusia Co.

I wholeheartedly recommend David Jancha to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney. From start to finish, Attorney Jancha demonstrated exceptional communication skills, keeping me informed every step of the way. His ability to negotiate and achieve the most favorable outcome for my case far exceeded m...y expectations. What truly sets Attorney Jancha apart is his genuine compassion—he understood the emotional and challenging nature of my situation and provided the support and care I needed. I will enthusiastically refer him to friends, family, and colleagues who require legal services. A heartfelt thank you to both the exceptional lawyer and the remarkable person that he is.

Absolutely Fantastic!

David was recommended to me by Mr. Biggs the bail bondsman. After I got myself in a snafu in St. Augustine while on vacation. Being from out of state I was very worried about representation since I was not familiar with the area, I took Mr. Biggs advice and contacted David Jancha. Upon our initial ...conversation which was lengthy and he took the time to explain possible outcomes and was immediately on the case. Excellent communication! He stayed in constant contact with me and even knew the date I got out of rehab and called me! How many attorneys would do that? David is a genuine, caring and wonderful individual. He is The Best attorney! If you find yourself in need of representation don’t hesitate to call David Jancha!

Best of the best!

I would still be in jail if it weren't for David. Some choices that I made landed me with 7 drug related charges. Everything from trafficking to paraphernalia. Only 2 of of those charges were misdemeanors. My family is from out of state and things were not looking good. The bail bondsman recommended ...this guy, and I am so glad that he did. The trafficking charge was lessened to possession, and i got one more possession charge, but the rest of the charges were dropped. I was granted a withhold of adjudication on the rest. Florida has mandatory minimum prison sentences for the charges I was facing, but with David's help, I am back in my home state with just a little bit of rehab. This guy really knows how to do his job. Throughout the process of all this, it was never any problem getting in contact with him, he always answered my phone calls or called me right back. I was never left in the dark about anything-all of my questions were answered quickly, and all resolutions were found quickly. He is such a nice and understanding man. I was really down through all of this and he lifted my spirits with encouragement through the whole process. He listened to me vent and I'm sure he had plenty of things he could have been doing instead. I can't think of any way I could have been helped more. I went from 5 felonies, one being a 1st degree felony, and 2 misdemeanors ,to just TWO lessened charged. That's it! So if you are looking for outstanding representation - look no further! I can't thank David Jancha enough. From the incredible representation to just being a great human being..he gets 5 stars across the board from me! Shout out to Mr. Disinger too who helped assist in my case. He was incredible too and also an extremely nice and helpful man. I didn't know there were lawyers like these guys. I wasnt just another case number in their file- for that I am so thankful. Thanks again for everything!

Very experienced, knowledgeable and attentive

I needed a criminal defense attorney for my son in a misdemeanor case in Orlando. I was hundreds of miles away in a different state. I was referred to Mr. Jancha by my sister's connections to her Rotary Club. I am a civil litigator and I was so impressed with Mr. Jancha's attentiveness, concern, and... willingness to answer any and all questions and guide us through this process, which was really new to both my son and me. He was very knowledgeable and his advice and recommendations were spot-on, right down to the bail bondsman, who was also awesome. I highly recommend Mr. Jancha and have great confidence in him. He made a traumatic experience much more tolerable and got the charges against my son dismissed with his expert guidance. When I was finally able to look back on the situation with humor, I joked that I wouldn't mind getting arrested in Orlando just to experience the excellent customer service. I would never really recommend that.....

"I worked with David when he was at a big downtown law firm. He is a well respected criminal lawyer with great client communication skills. Ever have a lawyer that didn't call or email you back? That is not David. He offers professional legal representation with the resources to get the job done right, all with great communication and advice to the client. He is who I go to first when a client or a client's family member has a criminal law question or concern. Hire him! He knows what he is talking about, he hasn't let my clients down, and he won't let you down."
