Business Director

David was incredible to work with! He takes the time to understand every detail of your legal situation and understand your goals and expectations to resolve the matter. He was very clear and detailed in explaining the process and the potential outcomes. David took the time to address every question ...and concern I had and showed he truly cared and would work hard to represent my best interest. It was also very obvious that David was a known and respected attorney in the courtroom. The ADA and Judge showed a great deal of respect and professionalism when working with David. He over exceeded my expectations for legal representation and over achieved on my goals for the legal outcome of my case.

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY!!!

I am in my late 30’s and was faced with a first offense DWI and refusal to sign. David stepped in and treated me with dignity and respect while providing me with exceptional counsel during one of the most tumultuous experiences of my life. He is a consummate professional that offered clear explanat...ions of my case and helped me outline goals and an action plan to facilitate the best possible outcome for my situation. His knowledge and dedication to his craft, and to me as a client, resulted in a stay of adjudication on the criminal side and a rescinded license revocation on the implied consent case – quite simply, I could not have asked for a better outcome. His fees are extremely reasonable and worth every single penny. I fully endorse David and I lack the words to properly convey my gratitude for his guidance throughout my experience and the final results of my cases.

Great experience

Mr. Schultz was very thorough, professional and patient, with reasonable rates and payment options. He started my case by asking me my goals and then we set up a clear game plan, from day one. He explained to me all the different potential outcomes and consequences. He listened to my input. Dave... followed through on everything, from day one. In the end, he negotiated a deal that was just about the best I could have hoped for, apart from having the case thrown out. He couldn't have done any more than he did, and I know he was genuinely happy for me.

A bad situation made good!

I am so very pleased with the end results David was able to get settled with my case. David was able to help reduce my worries by explaining my options and the possible outcomes very thoroughly regarding my case even though he remained very up front and realistic. I appreciate his honesty and am ver...y grateful how hard he worked to represent me. I also appreciate how well David communicated with me as my case continued. David showed an honest and sincere interest in what I wanted as a final result in my case and he worked hard to go over and above and was able to get an even better outcome than the one I was hoping for. I would for sure use David's services again in the future if I am in need of legal representation as well as would highly recommend him to friends and family. Thank's again David!

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.
