Posted by Christine | July 20, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

My mama said David was like a bulldog...when he sank his teeth into something he wouldn't let it go.

I can honestly say David Overhuls is my HERO ! He was everything I needed and wanted in the lawyer representing me on a felony drug charge. From the very beginning he was energetic and ready to fight for my life. He was down right impressive with jury selection especially when he did his blue pen... trick. He was thorough and well prepared for trial and when he got the arresting officer on the stand he was a "bulldog" as my mom eloquently dubbed him. He is ruthless with his big ole flip board and over sized sharpies. He could teach the class on how to win a trial. I was blessed to have worked with David and strongly suggest hiring him to represent you. If you are in trouble and want someone that believes in you regardless of how bad it looks on the surface then David is your man !

Assault family member

He helped me through the hardest time of my life, he told me to be patient and that’s all I needed, my case was dismissed and he made sure to conctact who he had to and email them so they could do something about my case, thanks to him I’m stress free

Excellent lawyer

Mr.david is a awesome attorney. He have went above and beyond for me to make sure I could have a smile on my face. I believe that if you receive him for a lawyer than you have received a blessing from God. He helped me to get a felony charged dismissed. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to meet him. ...

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David was a great prosecutor in the Narcotics Division at the District Attorney's Office and I have had the pleasure of working with him on a case when he left the office. David put in incredible time and effort and secured a dismissal for his client on a tough case. Not many lawyers would have received the same result."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
