In my opinion, David Bell is the top defense attorney in the Kansas City area and among the top three in Missouri. I will even go so far as to say that he is within the top 25 attorney's in the nation. He is a legend before his time. I call it like I see it. He is an absolutely amazing attorne...y. He is a rare combination of pure brilliance, shrewd, and bulldog. All I could think about in my multiple trial appearances was, "Oh my God I am so glad David Bell is representing me." Trust me when I say that he is unequivocally magnificent in the court room. Opposing counsel does not want to be on the other side of David Bell in court or in general. Not only are his cross examination skills the best in the business, but he is highly skilled in dismantling opposing counsel arguments. He is very quick thinking on his feet and he has an innate ability to exploit small windows of opportunity like no other. David Bell is also very genuine, personable, conscientious, and cares deeply for his clients. He was there for us in every possible way and he went the extra mile and beyond. Most of all David Bell knows how to win.
I have never had any prior experience with legal issues other than a non-moving violation about thirty years ago. I won't get detailed about my case, but for two solid years I was in a state of pure hell. I gained a hundred pounds due to the stress . I was in danger of losing my marriage, my family, my career, and all that I hold dear. I was in danger of being incarcerated. Truly my case was something out of a crime novel in terms of the magnitude and nature of the allegations that ranged from - well you name it. Suffice to say the charges were beyond terrible in every way. In the beginning I didn't know what I was doing in terms of legal representation. An acquaintance recommended an attorney, but I soon found that they were completely inept. In desperation I began seeking other counsel. David Bell's name kept surfacing as I spoke to multiple other attorneys. All other attorneys were hesitant to take my case I guess because of a high degree of difficulty and a high probability of losing.
When I first met with David Bell I remember being in a state of pure despair as I said sobbing, "Look, I don't know what to do…I am innocent, but I am scared to death of losing everything that I have." I'll never forget what he said to me, "This is what you do - you fight this head on." He said it with such self-assurance that a glimmer of hope began to ignite within me. He quickly assured me that my case was winnable. Unlike the other attorneys that I had met with, David was completely confident in his ability and he welcomed the challenge. He told me to go home and get a good night's sleep. For the first time in months I slept. Although initially very impressed, I really didn't know what to expect of him on the first day of trial, but it was immediately evident that David Bell's presence was well respected in the court room. He was very prepared. It was like watching a skilled surgeon in the operating room as he methodically dismantled the testimony of key witnesses during cross examination and destroyed opposing counsel arguments.
All I can say is that David Bell was 100% effective for me - winning four extremely difficult cases at multiple levels and over a two year period. If you are in legal trouble - get David Bell in your corner and you will begin to sleep at night. All of my charges have been completely expunged from my record. David Bell gave me my life back. He descended into the depths of hell where I was floundering in hopelessness. He took me by the hand and he slowly led me out completely unscathed. I remember the first time he called after three days of intense trial, "Are you sitting down - the prosecutor is dismissing your case." I began to sob. It was a magical moment that would replay again and again.
