Lifesaver

I hired Mr. David after I ran into some trouble while workin in MI. I live in Texas and was workin up in MI and was pulled over and arrested for a OWI. While my truck was bein inventoried for it to be towed the arresting officer found a firearm in my truck. I’m from Texas I always have a firearm but ...apparently in MI you cannot have any alcohol in your system with a firearm. I was facing 4 charges 2 of them bein felonies. A felony firearm in MI is 2 years minimum in prison. I thought my life was over. I actually got Mr. David’s contact from my bailbondsman who had told me that his son used Mr. David and was very pleased. From the initial meeting with him he was confident and reassured me that he was not gonna let me go to prison. The case went on for a full year and throughout the whole process he never deterred his confidence or his professionalism. He was always reassuring and encouraging me to ask him questions and was just very open to me bein fully involved with what was goin on which was great for my peace of mind. Finally after a year the charges were reduced to an OWI 2nd (previously had 2 priors 15-16 years ago) and the felony firearm was reduced to a illegal transport of a firearm which is a very low misdemeanor. He kept his word and no jail time was served and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I would most definitely recommend Mr. David to anyone who needs a solid attorney who knows MI laws and is not afraid to go toe to toe with prosecutors. He is a grade A attorney in my book and I could not be more happy with my decision that I chose him.

Case Dismissed

I am beyond grateful for the outstanding legal assistance provided by David Sinutko. Facing my husband's criminal charges, including gun and drug charges, was an incredibly daunting experience, but David Sinutko stood by us every step of the way. His expertise, dedication, and unwavering support led ...to the dismissal of all charges. I cannot thank David Sinutko enough for his professionalism and genuine care. If you're in need of a skilled and compassionate criminal attorney, look no further than David Sinutko.
