Great Attorney!

David got the job done and very quick! He always return my phone calls in a timing matter and keep me inform of everything.

Professional, Kind, True, Personable, Sincere

My very young family member got a DUI. Got arrested, DL revoked. David did a great job of explaining to all of us what really happened, and how he could help. He worked the case from beginning to end with almost no input from us. The outcome was the best possible.

Posted by Tim | May 07, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Great work honest and helpful. Charges dismissed.

David was very helpful. When I called and discussed my situation he explained all the options and gave me his honest opinion. He was confident the charges could be reduced or even dropped but he made no promises. I gave him the supporting documentation he needed and the charges were completely dro...pped. GREAT WORK!

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

David took 100% of my fear and confusion off my hands during a time I needed legal assistance, and had no idea who to turn to. Not only did he tell me EXACTLY what to do and how to do it, he is a genuinely great person and gave me 110% of his attention and guidance when he probably had a million othe...r things going on. I followed his instructions and this resulted in a dismissed case and I very strongly recommend his guidance in any type of legal issue, even just for a consultation. He has a world of knowledge and experience with the exact judges, DA and court clerks that will be handling your case and will know exactly how to proceed to get everything done the quickest, most efficient and correct way. I am so glad I went to him, my case is now dismissed and all I had to do was follow his simple instructions, and he did the rest. You will truly be in the best of hands with him.

David Michael Lurie, Excellent Attorney at Law

It was an extreme pleasure and a blessing that led me to choose David M. Lurie to represent me as my criminal defense attorney. After meeting and talking with David, I felt completely at ease and very comfortable that he would be dedicated in protecting my rights, privacy and dignity. David underst...ood the pressure, frustration and anxiety that I experienced in facing criminal charges. The end results of my case clearly shows and demonstrates that he worked steadfast and diligently on my case. As a result, I never paid a fine; nor ever stepped one foot in court; and eventually my case was totally dismissed. I would most definitely highly recommend David M. Lurie to any and all potential clients.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David gets results on all types of cases by being very familiar with the courts, judges, prosecutors, and probation and other services providers in the criminal justice system. David is, hands down, probably the most respectable, compassionate, caring, and trustworthy attorney that I've encountered in Kansas City. I say that there is David's way, and then most everyone else's. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach with him. David recognizes and addresses a client's livelihood, situation, background, and life plans in handling the most sensitive of criminal charges. David has both the conceptual and the procedural knowledge to either (a) know the answer, or (b) know how to find the answer in an ever-changing legal environment. With his knowledge, he is able to address, clearly and head-on, the prospects of success on a case, and the chances of achieving those different possible outcomes. David also helps his clients with the tools they need in order to cope"

  • 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.
