First class!

David went above and beyond for me! There are statutory minimum laws that exist in Illinois that make it difficult to defend criminal cases as far as sentincing goes. Despite this David Zipp stillness thought outside the box and never stopped fighting my case. David was able to negotiate a plea deal ...on my behalf that reduced my criminal traffic charge. It was the best possible outcome I could have hoped for! My charge could have been upgraded to a felony and David was there to help me if that happened. Luckily, it never reached that point. David always explained what was happening and treated me with respect. He is well prepared when he gets to court and he lifted what felt like the weight of the world off my shoulders. He even got some very hefty fines brought down some. Thanks, David for your hard work and compassion!
