Honest and Straightforward

I had the privilege of being referred to David by a fellow lawyer, as I was informed that David was the best in dealing with my particular situation—DWI. From the beginning, David was very proactive in getting my case in order and addressing all the necessary steps to ensure that my everyday life wa...s not disrupted as the case progressed. David was great throughout the entire process as he always kept me informed on our case approach, the necessary details after each personal meeting or court appearances, and explained the next steps in the proceedings. This information was great, as it keeps you engaged as a client. But what I found most beneficial was David’s ability to set realistic expectations. There were no antics or exaggerations; David was straightforward and honest, and that was greatly appreciated. Regardless of the outcome in the case, I would certainly recommend David to anyone that happens to be in the same situation as I found myself. After a very poor decision on my part, it was the best decision I made.

Very happy with David Shultz

David Shultz was the first lawyer I have ever hired and I am very happy with the work he did for me. He was able to negotiate a very favorable deal for me regarding my case. Friendly, down to earth and approachable. He was very knowledgeable and was always sure he explained everything to me thorou...ghly. He was also very responsive and got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. His fee was also way more than fair for the amount of work he did on my case. Thanks Dave!

A Caring Advocate

Dave Schultz has been an outstanding advocate for my son. Due to his addiction, my son obtained criminal charges. Dave represented my son during many court appearances. He was always professional and well-prepared in court. The most unique thing however, was how Dave genuinely cared about my son. Aft...er court, Dave would take time out to just check in with my son to see how he was doing. He would notice and encourage all of the hard work my son was doing to maintain his sobriety; celebrating milestones with him and being there for him legally when he relapsed. Dave responded in a timely manner to our calls, would meet as often as we needed, and would present information in a clear and honest manner. As an attorney, Dave successfully negotiated for my son in a time of crisis. My first call would be to Dave if we needed an attorney again.

Great Lawyer- Definitely Recommend!

Dave Schultz has helped out so much over the past few years for a DWI and other things. I had a pretty rough case of an underage DWI involving a car crash. I can't say enough good things about Dave. He is a great lawyer to work with- always professional, non-judgmental, trustworthy, punctual, and is ...just overall positive when you're going through a hard time. One thing that stands out about Dave is that he knows everyone and has good relationships with many judges, prosecutors, etc. In my case this helped out immensely. Another great thing about Dave is his willingness to work with you, whether it be constructing a payment plan if you're unable to afford payment up front, or if you need a court date changed to a different day. Overall, Dave is a great guy and is great at his job as well. Please consider hiring him as your lawyer.

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.
