Review for David Veile

Posted by

I hired David to represent me in my legal case and I am very glad that I did. I knew and felt since the first time I met with him that he was the right attorney for my case and I was right. He is very professional, calm, exceptional, and responsive attorney who I would recommend to anyone needing representation. He is worth the investment. Thank you for your services David. I highly recommend David for legal matters.

David Veile

Posted by

Mr. Veile was directed to me by my father. Who he helped get a deal that was absolutely the best one; greatly improving his situation. When it came down to me, I was in the process of getting a life changing job- and the court would have gotten in the way of it. The job I soon did land, and if it wasn't for the hard working Mr. Veile, who negotiated a better plea deal than I expected; I wouldn't be able to carry on with my life's plan when I wanted. I now can move out of state for work, in a place I am very excited to move to- all thanks to David!!! If you need proper representation- hire David Veile. Seeing him work in the inside the courtroom and out- only gives you comfort that you invested in the right person. Thank you so much David!!

Outstanding Knowledge & Professional Attorney

Posted by

I have had such a positive experience with David Veile of Schell & Oglesby law firm I wanted to leave a review. I had a uniquely strange situation and reached out to my business attorney for direction on how to handle it. My attorney recommended David Veile in Franklin, Tn., because he has an outstanding reputation as a defense attorney. I was completely pleased with Mr. David Veile from the very first phone call to the timely conclusion. Even though the circumstance was bizarre, David handled it with the utmost professionalism. His knowledge and ability is outstanding and he was able to quickly combat and rectify my situation. He is extremely professional, readily accessible and I could not be more satisfied with my interactions with Mr. Veile. If you are looking for a very qualified, highly professional and personable, exceedingly knowledgeable defense attorney, I highly recommend David Veile.

High Integrity

Posted by

It was apparent right from the first few minutes we met with David the kind of man he is. He is a very professional, polite, caring, thoughtful, honest man of high integrity. He is highly skilled in his profession. He made sure he had all of my information and facts to put together the best defense possible. He was very thorough and open to my input that could possibly impact the case. He was very accessible and easy to get in touch with. I had the utmost trust in him, and felt very comfortable with his ability, approach, and efforts to represent me. With the excellent efforts of David, my case had the best possible outcome when it was eventually dismissed. He is an excellent attorney and a fine person.

Hands down the best experience with an attorney I've ever had. David is second to none.

Posted by

David went far above and beyond in his consultation with me. I have hired two former attorneys in the Franklin area, both very highly rated like David, and up until today I thought they were both the best of the best. Then I met David, and all previous expectations of attorney excellence were far exceeded. I went in to the conversation scared, nervous, and feeling very alone in an unprecedented (for me) legal situation, but after speaking with David for 20 minutes, I am now confident and feel like a thousand tons have been lifted from my shoulders. David's experience very obviously shows, because while my situation is new to me, David knows exactly what he is doing. It was his knowledge and competence that made me feel so comfortable, not to mention how respectful and easy going he is, that made me feel so much better and confident about my situation. David has won my business for life due to how much he cared about me and my situation as well as how thorough he was in our conversation. Whereas other attorneys just try to determine whether they can make money and how much, David truly had my best interests at heart and took the time to carefully and clearly explain my legal situation and potential paths. I wish there were more attorneys out there like David!

It was comforting to know I had a true advocate acting on my behalf. His legal expertise was invaluable and he demonstrated true command of my case. His level of communication, personable approach and attention to the details was outstanding.

Tremendous lawyer! From the day I hired him he worked with complete thoroughness and reassured me that he would relentlessly go the extra mile on my behalf. He did. There was nothing in my mind that he left undone. He promptly replied to my e mails, texts, and calls. I was not a number. I highly recommend David H. Veile for any legal battles he is equipped to represent you in.

A great fit

Posted by

David was referred to me via a friend. I was very impressed with his attention to detail, as well as his ability to act in my behalf- he seemed to literally "walk in my shoes." The outcome of my case was better than I could have hoped for, and I know David was a major factor in that.
