Felony Court - Muskingum County

My son (and our family) secured David for his professional services and his talent for working in Muskingum County knowing that we were facing an uphill battle against a very rigorous and well known Felony Court System. David throughout the process maintained good communication with his client and h...is parents. Although in the beginning, he worried us by having other attorneys stand in for lesser hearings for the process, he was always knowledgeable of all of the information he would provide to us. The outcome for our case wasn’t the best one, yet as far a representation for our son, David did an excellent job. We will continue to use David for all of our legal work and I’d recommend him and the members in his firm to anyone.

Very professional. I have used David Moritimer twice to represent me. Both times he went above and beyond to get the best out of the situation. I would definitely recommend him to anybody needing his services. Very prompt in answering any questions I would have in a timely manner.

David is by far the best attorney that has ever represented me! He always had time to explain things to me when I had a question, and worked very hard to get me the best possible outcome from my situation! I would use his representation again and again without question! Thanks Dave!!

Your welcome Matt. Thank you for the business.

Great attorney.

Helped me out in my time of need. Was quick and efficient. My case was something he had done before and you could tell. I’m now getting through the programs and situations to get my case removed from my record and Dave helped me get into the program even though it was tough to do so.

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.
