I spent countless hours working on my websites and growing my practice through attending seminars and lecturing. Unlike other lawyers, I personally put in case results and work on video shots. My clients or prospective clients need to understand that I am deeply concerned about the outcome of their case.

David is a hard-working, aggressive, and innovative attorney. He and his partner, Darren, literally created a successful traffic ticket defense practice in a market when no other attorneys in the area were even doing it because the playing field was so unfavorable to those who "dared" to challenge local law enforcement. I've watched him grow and expand his law practice literally from the beginning. I've had the pleasure of seeing it grow and prosper over the last few years as he has opened additional offices in new jurisdictions. I do not hesitate to send him all of my clients who have traffic and DUI problems. He truly goes the extra mile for them. Also, he is compassionate about helping them to resolve there legal problems. In short, I highly recommend this lawyer.
Gregg Stark, Criminal defense Attorney on Jul 28, 2012
