Excellent Advocate for his Client

I hired David and found him to be very honest and upfront in a very uncertain situation. He was diligent, hard working and incredibly responsive. He also was effective as I couldn't have imagined a better outcome. I was very great full to have hired David and would definitely recommend him in the ...future!

Easy to work with!

I hired David Cmelik for an OWI charge. David was a great deal of help in my case being my first offense in the matter. He was very easy to work with and very understanding. He did a great job explaining everything to me in terms I understood and made sure I got all my ducks in a row before getting... off the phone with him or leaving his office. He is every well priced for everything that he does for you! I would recommend him to anyone like me who needs that guidance in the right direction in any criminal case.

Professional

Utilized Mr. Cmelik's services for a Simple Assault charge and I was put at ease when I did not have to do anything but sit back and let him do his thing. Very pleased with outcome. Very professional, courteous and informative about the whole thing.

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.
