Non-violent misdemeanor

Dave took the time to explain the laws that applied to my situation clearly and to where it was easily understood. Dave is thorough and very detailed.

greatest lawyer I've had!

I got indited on felony possession charges, a long with other charges. David faught for me very hard, an got me ILC. These charges was from 2017, an since 2017 I had been clean an sober, another reason I think he faught so hard for me. He gave me all the info I needed to be ready for court, an was ve...ry helpful with any questions or advise I needed. Having him as my lawyer was a great experience an I would for sure hire him in the future!

Professional, Prepared and Qualified. Highly Recommend!

We hired David Mortimer to represent our son for an OVI case. It didn't take long to discover that hiring Dave was an excellent decision. He and his staff were quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns; consistently keeping us updated. We never felt alone during the process. Dave is a... skilled attorney who uses his knowledge of the legal system to truly get the very best outcome for his clients. It is evident that he truly cares. The outcome of our son's case was beyond what we could expect and we were more than pleased. It was because of Dave's attention to detail and his willingness to go that extra mile that made all the difference! We highly recommend David Mortimer.

He consulted with me about my case. Walked me through the process and kept me informed along the way. We discussed my options and went over what he thought was the best for my case. He answered any questions I had and was available throughout the whole process!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
