Stay Away! Shyster Lawyer. He is only in it for the money - Does not fight for you.

A friend and I both acquired Dave as our lawyer.. We Paid 5000$ to Dave and he did the least amount of work and just wanted us to take guilty and take a plea - he wanted to do the least amount of work to get his money for 5K. We felt like he did not believe in us and was not fighting for us, and it ...looked to us as he is just lazy, so we decided to get another lawyer and the other lawyer was fantastic (Richard Cooper) and the other lawyer (Richard Cooper) fought for us and got our case dismissed. Since Dave only put in a couple hours work we asked for a partial refund. He did not give us any money back, and kept the 5000$ for about 2-3 hours of total time worked. He is a shyster - I would recommend that you stay away from this lawyer.

Trusted Federal Defense Lawyer

David Raben is one of the finest, most sincere, and diligent attorneys I have ever worked with. David and I have worked on highly complex federal white collar matters and he impressed me from the very beginning by his client commitment and quality of work. When the stakes are high, you need a lawyer ...you can trust, rely on, and fight with. David Raben is that lawyer. When your livelihood or your freedom are at stake, the first thing you should do is to call David Raben. Highly Recommended!

BEST criminal attorney!!!

Where do I start... I was facing my worst nightmare.. a horrible legal situation and felt so lost. Someone recommended David to me as being one of the best criminal attorneys. . I took my chances and hired him. That was the best decision I’ve ever made!!! What a amazing, knowledgeable, attentive, per...sistent, persuasive, power house attorney. No matter how messy your situation seems, David will get the job done in such a classy graceful way. He is very passionate about what he does and is always ready to listen. He was able to negotiate the BEST possible deal for me despite all odds. He kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and always made himself accessible. David is very well versed in criminal law and never left a question unanswered. His positive and optimistic energy gave me hope even in the darkest moments. He has many years of experience and he’s not scared to fight for your rights. He is always ready for a challenge and can turn the worst negative into a positive. He is a very respected attorney in this community because of his unmatched integrity and ethical practice. I am truly thankful to Mr. Raben for giving me a 2nd chance. I can begin to rebuild my life now thanks to all his endless efforts in defending my case. If anyone is looking for a SUPERB criminal attorney that will go over and beyond for his clients, David Raben is it!!!

Exceptional Criminal Attorney

Dr Raben is an amazing criminal attorney. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable but handles cases with most professionalism, thoroughness and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone. I am so grateful to have found him to handle my case.

Highly Recommended - Case Dismissed!

We hired David to represent my son in a serious felony case. David was able to get the case dismissed prior to charges being formally filed. He clearly has created great relationships with the local prosecutors. He brilliantly worked with the prosecution pre-filing to explain all the challenges wi...th the state's case and also build up my son's reputation (given alleged crime was only insight prosecutor had of my son). The prosecution process was frustrating -- over 10 arraignment resets. Nonetheless, David was persistent and super responsive through the entire process. He's also well connected locally as we reviewed complex strategic legal options - he sought out other experts to further opine on our approach. It's my honor and pleasure to recommend David. You will not be disappointed.

  • 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.
