WINNING!!! ALL MY CASES DISMISSED!! Thank you David

David was referred to me from a fellow successful Fort Lauderdale businessman about a year ago. When I met with David I was charged with two criminal cases as well as an permanent injunction against me for dating violence put on me by a jealous guy that was trying to get with my girl. I felt like I w...as going to lose everything and then I hired David. David took and still takes my calls at all hours, legal holidays, religious holidays. I’ve paid him, but not enough for what he has done for me. David took it personal, David rose above all of it, got ALL MY CASES DIMISSED. Got the permanent injunction reversed in my favor and got me an injunction on the other guy. I’ve hired him since for civil cases and he’s been great!

From Felony to Misdemeanor

Just returned from my court, and got to the computer to say thanks and leave my comments about David Braun. In 2010 I was charged with Aggravated Battery(felony, max sentence 15 yrs in prison). Honestly, I had nothing to do with an incident, I was just in a wrong time, in a wrong place. This was... a main goal for David - to prove, that I had nothing to do with it. He did it in a very professional manner, and always remembering to make sure my interests are defended. David Professionally prepared himself for deposition, which (i think) played main role in finilizing this case. In short, from Aggravated Battery(felony) charge was changed to Disorderly Conduct(misdemeanor). I agreed on this myself, just to finilize it already, but I`m sure Dave would be able to go to trial and prove my innosence. But this would take more time again. Dedicated respect he deserves for not trying to convince me to accept 9 month probation, which was offered first. I told him: "Look Dave, I didn't do nothing in that accident, and probation, I`m sorry, is not something I will accept. Then lets got to trial." Dave Answered me "OK, I understand you. Let me see what I can do." ... and he didn't even think of convincing me to accept it. Big respect for that. Communication: Was very easy to communicate, and from the first day Dave told me: "I`m here for you 24/7". Of course I didn't call him at nights, but I did bother him sometimes on Sundays:-) lol.... and he always picked up the phone. Recommend? Yes. If you are looking for a honest lawyer who will be always defending your interests. Will I use him again? Well, I hope I won't need...:)... but, I remember his phone, because its very easy combination of numbers;) Dave, thanks for everything.

Best criminal defense lawyer in the STATE!

This man did outstanding miracles for me in court. I was facing mandatory life and Mr. Braun got me down to 4 years for 1st degree felony murder. This guy is absolutely amazing. He wrote the best motions even got my judge switched... IF you need a miracle call Mr. Braun

My Savior

I really think of Attorney David Braun as my savior. My two sons were in with the wrong crowd and got into multiple situations with the police in my neighborhood. Our lives were turned upside down. Mr. Braun counseled them and me through this very tough situation which included criminal charges and ...drug addiction. He got all the criminal charges dismissed and I am happy to report my two boys are drug fee and back on track. David took my calls at all hours, and was so professional and helpful in what was the toughest time of my life. I've moved out of State and stumbled on this website and immediately thought of my wonderful experience with my savior, Attorney David Braun.

Past Client

I hired Attorney David Braun to handle my case. I have been a corporate executive for 25 years and I found Mr. Braun extremely professional and helpful. I got with him early in the process and he got in touch with the detective and the prosecutor and I never even had to go to court. I was super stres...sed when I called David but once he got on the case he totally relaxed me and took care of everything. He also eased my wife's concerns and was an overall pleasure to work with. The best part, HE GOT MY CASE DISMISSED! I would recommend you get with him.
