Top notch

I’ve worked with Dave in a myriad of capacities. He’s been honest, straight forward, and efficient every time. He is one of the best attorneys that I’ve worked with and has assisted in my case each time. He doesn’t waste your time like many other attorneys nor does he pretend to know something when h...e doesn’t. What he does do, is find answers when he doesn’t know them. This is the kind of guy you want on your side. I’ve had friends use him as well and they have similar experiences to me. I have nothing bad to say about Dave or his firm.

This is your guy!

I hired David Guy Stevens to help me out on a very complicated case and I am so happy with the results. David Guy Stevens saved me in my case. The odds were against me and we were given very little time to prepare, but Mr. Stevens knocked out of the park and I am beyond blessed of the results. I cann...ot thank the man enough. He was very responsive, understanding, and literally updated me on everything as the case went along. He really did fight for me and kept things honest. If you’re looking for a fighter to have your back, David Guy Stevens is your guy. I highly recommend him and he would be the first for me to call if anything were to come up ever again.

Very helpful and would definitely recommend for legal assistance...

David is very knowledgeable of the new laws. He made me feel very comfortable in the decision that was made, which otherwise could have ended with jail time. I would definitely recommend his services for your legal needs.

Magnificent attorney, impeccable case management

After an unfortunate situation while a period in the EEUU I needed to find an attorney who could take care of a messy situation. A DUI resulted in probation and I needed to complete some DUI education, counseling and community service during the probation year. As a result of the DUI arrest, my VISA ...was revoked and I had to leave the country for good. Luckily I had enough time to complete the DUI education and counseling before leaving and the judge authorized me to do community service time in my country. When the court day arrived, after a year, I was not able to enter the country, as my VISA was revoked, and I failed to appear in front of the judge. A warrant was issued and complicated even more the situation. My original attorney kept telling me that he could do nothing about this situation and that I needed to be in the country to resolve it, what it was obviously not a possibility. That is when I contacted David Guy Stevens, from minute 0 he made me feel confident in the process. First at all he informed me that he could represent me in front of the judge without me being present in the country. He took the time to understand the case, he explained to me all possible outcomes and, most importantly, he treated me with sensibility and patience. (Exactly what I needed in such a vulnerable situation). His communication through the process was impeccable, he took care of the case in a timely manner, and the outcome was the best possible, my case was cleared and I potentially will be able to enter again the country for business. Mr. Stevens is a MAGNIFICENT ATTORNEY, he will service you with respect and sensibility. He obviously is an expert in the field and I could not be happier with the whole experience. Antonio G. R.

STRONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT RESULTS AND NOT EXCUSES

First time using a traffic attorney, I chose to be hired by David and his office for the traffic violation of driving while suspended/DUI. David was very knowledgeable and quick to respond with all questions or concerns I had. David is honest, reliable, professional and straight to the point. I was... kept well informed throughout the whole process. I strongly recommend to everyone that comes across this particular review to search no further because David and his office are very friendly and 100% simply the best for any Criminal and DUI Defense, Divorce and personal injury needs. He was courteous and made sure I was satisfied and looking for when interested in hiring him for his services and he delivered what I was looking for. I am so thankful I came across his advertising letter in the mail. I wouldn't be writing this review without the help of him and his office. God Bless you David. It was truly an experience that cannot be replicated and I will never forget. Thank you so much. On a scale from 1-5 I give a 10 because I could not have asked for anything else. If I ever need an attorney, he will be the one I contact.
