Posted by Kyle | January 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Excellent Lawyer Excellent Firm these are the guys to hire

Dave is an excellent attorney. Very professional and personable this guy will definitely exceed your expectations and go the extra mile for you and your case. I had several major felony charges and was facing a long time behind bars. With Dave's help I was able to ultimately resolve my case with the... major felony charges being dropped and ultimately pleading guilty to a minor drug and failure to render aid charge resulting in a mere 150 days in jail and five years probation. With Dave's help I was able to get through a life changing event with my family, reputation and business intact. There is no other attorney or firm I would refer people to or consider hiring myself. In my honest opinion it would be nothing short of foolish to hire anyone else

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.
