First Class Defense Attorney

I hired David to defend my daughter when she was charged with 3 felony offenses after an incident where she was drunk, resisted arrest, and hit and kicked two officers. I live out of state and didn’t know who to contact. I’m so thankful I found David! My daughter had no prior record but was facing a... maximum of 15 years in prison for these felony charges against law enforcement. David met with my daughter the same day I contacted the office. He explained everything and gave me peace of mind with the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. He took care of everything! It took 6 months to resolve the case but David was available by text or call to explain everything and answer every question we had within the same day. I was very impressed with the level of attention he gave us. The case was settled with charges reduced to misdemeanors and no additional jail time. Only fines and costs. I would recommend David to anyone looking for a defense attorney. His fee is worth every penny!

Exceptional Service From Start to Finish

David is an outstanding attorney. He was extremely kind, professional, and handled my case quickly and efficiently. From the very beginning, I never had a single doubt that he could help me—his confidence and knowledge put me completely at ease. He truly got the job done without any unnecessary delay...s. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best attorney possible.

Very satisfied client!

David was super responsive, very diligent in addressing the details of the case and ensured the positive outcome that was set as a reasonable goal. I feel he went over and above to offer excellent service. Very competent counsel! I emphatically recommend him to anybody interested in his services.

Not afraid to go the extra mile.

No prior interactions with law firm before my case, reached out and wanted to hear my options and from start to finish David kept me in the loop of every aspect. Always responded to calls and texts (even on vacation, thank you for that). Fought very hard and got a better outcome to my case than I eve...n expected. Can’t thank David enough for everything. He really did go above and beyond this whole time.

Being new to legal issues David navigated us through this legal matters and was always there for us anytime we had questions he responded in a very timely manner when we needed to meet he was always available he did the ...all that could of been done. I do not know how we would have made it through this matter without David. He went beyond for us . We are thankful and grateful. I will highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation.
