Top lawyer

David represented me in a DUI case. He knows how to maneuver the court system and achieve results. I am a professional and he handled my case in a very discrete manner. In my case he was able to obtain a dismissal at the request of prosecutors due to a police witness not showing up for a hearing. ... David is an awesome attorney and I don't hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing criminal defense services. I engaged him a second time to help not have an issue escalate into the criminal justice system. His advise was perfect here too and the result what exactly that, no case.

Top Defense Lawyer

Best criminal attorney with great attention to detail who really cares about his clients. He's passionate about his job unlike anyone I've ever seen. Did an outstanding job in my trial during cross-examination of the other party after a thorough pre-trial walk thru of what to expect during the trial.... Truly made me, and most important, my mom, feel comfortable before walking with us to court. He's not dry and only to the point like most attorneys. He has a great sense of humor and naturally puts you at ease through a stressful experience. You know you're in good experienced hands with David Deal.

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.
