David M. Sinutko

I have only one phrase for Mr. Sinutko; as Tina Turner said "He simply the best, better than all the rest" Yes, He took a very difficult criminal case involving my son, who had some serious charges of attempted home invasion, and turned it around to work out in our favor. My son had a serious drug pr...oblem, which led to these charges. However, Mr. Sinutko didn't judge us, but took the case and promised to give it his all, and he did. He did it with patience, aggressiveness' and the ability to negotiate with the prosecutor right up until the judge made his final decision. It was a job well done. I would highly recommend this lawyer to my friends, family and anyone who was looking for an outstanding lawyer and a proven winner. He's that good!

Helped me be the person I am supposed to be

I worked very hard to get into nursing school, only to find out my background check would hold me back. Terrified of seeing all my hard work go to waste, I found Mr. Sinutko. He was very patient, caring and assured me everything would be ok. He kept every promise he made and made my past mistakes go ...away in a very short time frame. Now I can show the world who I really am. Thank you David Sinutko!!

Lucky to have him as my attorney

Like most people would probably think, it's usually not a good thing when you're thrust into a situation that immediately requires a good attorney. It's scary when you're in the legal system. Suffice it to say, my situation kept snowballing. Soon as I knew it, I was dealing with three different as...pects of the legal system. Fortunately for me, someone had referred me to David Sinutko. He was forthright, explained everything, and kept me in the loop. But, above all else, he got results. And, at the end of the day, that's all that mattered. That being said, I'd recommend David Sinutko without hesitation.

Never Let Me Down

This attorney handled several different matters for me and NEVER disappointed me or my family. He has incredible knowledge of the law as well as an intricate understanding of the inner workings of the legal system. Various aspects of my life were on the line. David Sinutko did not let us down. I...f it were not for David, my future would have been destroyed. I would HIGHLY recommend David. Given his background and intense knowledge, I would not hesitate to tell anyone to hire him.

Excellent Attorney

I was referred to David after I received a super drunk driving ticket for moving a vehicle in a garage that was attached to a condo. It was questionable if the vehicle was actually on any public road. This was a complete mess in a very bad time in my life. David worked with me and the court system... through many adjournments and over a long period of time and the end result was ultimately favorable to me. I can not thank David enough for helping me through this incident in a very trying time in my life that could of potentially negatively impacted my career and rest of my life. I know a lot of attorneys and could of chosen any one of them however, David is not only knowledgeable he is truly an excellent attorney. I would highly recommend hiring David if one finds themselves in a similar situation.
