Well Connected

Dave did a great job representing me for a recent incident. He has prior experience with prosecuting and is now defending clients so he understands the process from both sides. He knows and gets along well with the key players in the MN justice system which I believe helped me achieve a better outco...me in a more timely manner. He is well liked by his peer group and is very pleasant to work with!

Professional and a great gentleman

Dave represented me on my first DWI case. He won my case for better result for me. He is very knowledgeable of how the law works, on the top of things, very cool, friendly, understanding, reasonable, and over all a great gentleman. He doesn’t give you unrealistic hope, but inform/advice you on what ...might happen and work toward the best result for your case. Dave is NOT like these some greedy and inflexible lawyers. I am super satisfied by his work and i will recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much, Dave.

The Five Star Lawyer

Smooth talking and looking for my best interests, David Five Star was able to prevent confinement after my second DUI with the refusal. With his skill in high diction and connotation he was able to make a deal with prosecutors suggesting that I instead had to do interlock for two years. This allowed ...me to continue my career and manage my business.

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.

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.
