Best defense lawyer in Cook County

David is EXTREMELY helpful in tough situations. He explains your situation and possible outcomes of your case thoroughly and will answer any question you have no matter how trivial. As a former prosecutor, he is very knowledgeable of what the States Attorney wants to/can do in a case and he will le...t you know what to expect. I would absolutely hire him again.

Best lawyer in town.

Mr. David Meyerson has been nothing but amazing. I have done not so smart illegal stuff when i was younger. Mr. Davy has always been there to help me out with me and my family . When anybody ask for a recommendation of a lawyer his name comes out of my mouth. Not because i consider him a family frien...d now, but because he is sincere,helpful ,always on time, goes above beyond for his clients, he will always treat you like family . He is the lawyer you want . Thank you Mr. David Meyerson for everything!

I've been a client of David's for approximately 10 years now. He's assisted me and my 2 son's with numerous case's, ranging with simple driving violations, to more complex ones that had been ongoing for 2-3 years that could have, or did result in the loss of driving privileges . With his guidance ...and knowledge of the law, the results were always far better than what may have been originally or erroneously charged. With David's prior experience as a state's attorney, he gained valuable experience in the day to day operations of Cook County's judicial system and gained the respect of the various judges. Key factors in his ability to successful navigate the system, and successfully defend our cases. Beyond his professionalism, knowledge and ability to successfully navigate the system, what was just as important to me, was his compassion he displayed to me and my son's in dealing with our personal problems over the years. I would highly recommend David to anyone.

David is an excellent example of a lawyer who will go the extra mile for you. He has helped me multiple times in court for various legal matters and has always been beneficial for me. I have used him for the past five years. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a good rapport with states attorneys a...nd judges. I am 27 years old and David helped me turn my life around not only through the legal system but also by showing how much he actually cared about me as a client.
