A great man with determination and knowledge

I was arrested for possession of marijuana under 2 grams. As I am a stubborn man I refused accepting a public defender. After 6 months of DA delays my case was being prosecuted. David did not like the offer and told me plainly that they were trying to use my past troubles against me in spite of havin...g changed my life and not having had ANY criminal issues in nearly 10 years. He advised I refuse which I followed. After two more negotiiation hearings he pulled me into the hallway and informed me that he got the options of 1 year probation or 60 days work detail reduced to 2 DAYS JAIL TIME WITH CREDIT FOR TIME SERVED!! From the moment I met David he was casual, informative, and composed. I was impressed with his open discussion style and straight forward communication. I am a jaded American and have many qualms with the system and you can see David has distaste for the same issues. But he channels it through fighting for citizens like us. Thank you David. Keep fighting the good fight.

Blessing in the Law field

I was arrested for possession of Marijuana, Called Sloane the moment I knew i needed help. I needed someone who would take action and get me out of a sticky situation. He filed papers and i just waited 3 years for any sign of a court date. Fortunately the charges/case was dropped due to statute of li...mitations. A few months after everything was dropped, i wanted to see if i could get some of the money i paid for him because he did not have to come to my town or do very much at all in those three years. I got in touch with his assistant and she said sorry its a one time fee. David was nice enough to call me back an offer me some of what i paid. He was honest and did his job to the fullest extent i needed. He has blessed me with my life and an even better holiday gift! He will always be my go to guy if im ever in a bad situation. Although i really hope i never have to call him again. Thank you so much for what you did for me i could never thank you enough! God bless!

Attorney David Sloane was a lifesaver!

My son was charged with injury to a child. He agreed to watch a toddler while the mother went shopping. The child was asleep when he arrived. When he looked in on her a short while later he noticed she had stopped breathing and called an ambulance. She had a subdural hematoma (crainial bleed) which ...can be caused by what is commonly called "shaken baby syndrome." She has since fully recovered. My son was accused because he was the only one present when the most obvious symptoms appeared. Our first lawyer told my son he had better accept the state's plea-bargain offer of 10 years in prison and we sought a second opinion from David Sloane. For once, somebody believed my son when he said he didn't do this! Mr. Sloane worked tirelessly on my son's case. He conducted extensive discovery my son's first lawyer never did, and most significantly, he spent many hours long into the night in the library at the University of North Texas Health Science Center researching the topic. He found several ground-breaking studies showing that it can often take hours and even days from the time of the injury for symptoms to appear. The Doctor planning to testify for the prosecution informed them she could no longer stand behind her initial opinion my son had done this when presented with these latest medical studies. The state dropped all charges against my son (without apology.) Were it not for David Sloane my son would STILL be in prison! I shudder to think how many innocent people are...
