When I started David Henry Schultz, P.A. it was with the vision of providing aggressive legal representation and outstanding customer service to families and individuals in Minnesota and Wisconsin with a focus on meeting our clients’ objectives and with a commitment to diligence, expertise and integrity. We've now done that for well over a decade now!
I enjoy my work and my clients and take my roles as a criminal defense attorney very seriously. The people that I represent need a strong and compassionate voice at what is often the most difficult time of their life. My commitment to each of my clients is to listen to them, to be 100% honest with them, and to do everything within my power under the rules of advocacy and ethics to meet their goals.
When I'm not working on my cases I enjoy spending time with my kids and my wife, playing with my lab-mix rescue Mia, boating or golfing and watching football or hockey.

We reached out last minute and he was super prompt and was abl...

I never thought I would ever need a criminal lawyer in my life. This stuff just freaks me out. But stuff happens.... It was my lucky day that I googled and found Dave. Dave was super helpful and professional. During our first meeting he spent around 2 hours educating us about the process, risks o...

From the first time I spoke with Dave I felt very comfortable. He is so kind and calm and answered all my questions plus he was empathetic and very trustworthy. He is honest and reliable and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Dave for everything you did for me.

I contacted David on a DO citation where I felt wrongly accused. From the moment we met to discuss the different strategies, I was convinced I had made the right decision to retain his services. David was thorough with the entire process and kept me up to date during the entire legal case. In ...
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Schultz is a hard-working conscientious lawyer who is a zealous advocate for all his clients. His integrity is above reproach."
"I met Dave through our local Rotary Club but have gotten to know him better by picking his brain on various cases and matters. I trust sending any criminal law referral to him, knowing he will take care of the client. I particularly trust his experience given that he has background in both defense and prosecution -- knowing your enemy his half the battle!"
"David has done a great job on difficult cases which I have referred to him. I would highly recommend David."
