A Legal Powerhouse Who Delivered the Win of a Lifetime

⭐ David Kramer – 5 Stars I recently had the rare privilege of being represented by David J. Kramer, a legal mastermind whose reputation as a litigating god among mortals truly precedes him. Although he no longer takes on most family law matters, David made an exception in our case—which my wife, our... family, and I are incredibly grateful for. From the outset, David treated our situation with a level of respect, fairness, and care that's rarely found even among the closest of friends—let alone in legal counsel. He brought clarity to chaos, strategy to uncertainty. And when he identified an opportunity to strengthen our position, he immediately and personally brought in another seasoned attorney to ensure the best possible outcome. That level of investment—financially and professionally—is something I’ve never seen from most people, and certainly never expected from my attorney. Behind the scenes, someone very close to me helped bring this all together. Her network, encouragement, strength, insight, and hidden sacrifice made it possible to build the legal team that ultimately helped secure the result we’d been fighting for. Thanks in no small part to David’s integrity, connections, reputation, and courtroom presence, we resolved a years-long conflict with a resounding win in a way that truly serves the best interest of my child—and did so with remarkable efficiency. He has my respect, undying friendship, and highest recommendation.

Excellent attorney

The minute I met Mr. Kramer I felt more comfortable about my case he made me feel at ease with his confidence and knowledge of the judicial system.He did an amazing job and got me what I feel is the best anyone could have done. I can not say enough about how great of a job this man did. If you need a... excellent representation he is defiantly the person to retain.

Results speak for themselves!

David is very honest and excels at what he does! He does not sugar coat anything. Achieved a WAY better outcome than I could've hoped for. 10/10 would use again for all future legal endeavors!!

Loyality

David Kramer has been my daughters’ Criminal Defense attorney for about a year. If you want an attorney that will genuinely take a personal interest on a level that matches the loyalty of a family member, hire David. He has been persistent and set up many meetings with law enforcement to help us ge...t through a very difficult time in our family. I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel about this person. You won’t regret having him represent you.

Kramer = Knowledgeable, Keen, Kind

I met with David Kramer regarding a case that was frightening, and stressful. He immediately put me at ease at his office. We discussed my case, free of charge for the consultation. I found him to be very professional, yet I could see he was caring, and a man of strong faith, which for me was also a ...comfort. Though of course he could make no promises about what my outcome would be, it was evident that he was knowledgeable about my type of case, and possessed a keen sense of what I could expect when I went before the Judge. I appreciated that, as I have met with previous attorneys that were so vague during the consultation, that I would leave feeling more confused than before I went in. At the end of my consultation, he was so kind to me, and offered some resources that I could use to help me before I went court. I hired him on the spot. When it came time to appear in court, I was overjoyed to learn that he was able to get my charges greatly reduced. I realized that this was because of relationships that he had forged with key people in that district court. Most importantly, the prosecutor and the judge. I also learned that after I left the courtroom, he went into the judges chambers and put in a good word for me with the judge, regarding my character and unique situation. I am more than happy with how things turned out for me, because things could have been much, much worse. I highly recommend David Kramer as an attorney, and will do so to anyone I know that needs an excellent criminal law attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David is skilled, intelligent & hard-working. He is known for aggressively representing his clients and he consistently gets great results. Recently, we obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict for a man who was facing life in prison; got charges dismissed for a juvenile who was falsely accused of serious sexual assault charges, proved that our client was not guilty of the alleged serious violation of probation allegation, and stopped criminal charges from being issued by proving that our client was innocent."
