Follow Up

Before I give my conclusion allow me to express a couple thoughts. First let me say that I have had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting lawyers more than I would ever desire to. In fact my last attorney was so bad that I had to put a two-way Communication in his ear to educate him in a trial setting.... So I definitely was skeptical with any other attorney that I ever would have. David definitely picked up on that scepticism immediately. Unlike many attorneys he began a conceited effort to build a trusting relationship with me. More so he was effective. Which is a very difficult feat to achieve. He is so humble and good at what he does that it is almost astonishing. Unlike many attorneys who think they have all the knowledge and information he does not do that. He is very educated and his craft however he is definitely humble enough to listen. You don't find that quality in many people in his profession. My hat goes off to you. In conclusion I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone facing any unfortunate circumstance. I truly believe that he will fight in your interest not in the interest to give the state one to get one. If you provide some legal advice David has absolutely no hesitation on utilizing that. However if you do not feel confident that he does possess the skills necessary to defend you. Being prosecuted is a very scary feeling. The ability to put one at ease is a gift that he possesses. I consider him a professional friend as well as a real friend. His communication skills are Limitless. I literally spoke to him on holidays and weekends. Sent emails on the weekend. His honesty and clarity are clearly shown. I 100% would recommend this attorney to anyone facing any matter in a court of law.

Stay away

If I could tell you of a promising attorney who fails you when money is involved. He doesn't care about his clients clearly could of got my Misdemeanor charge dropped but chose not to until I paid him less than 200 bucks. He wants you to do all the work and he takes the credit. Stay away save your mo...ney!!

DWLI

My case was a DWLI (Driving While License Invalid). I honestly don’t even know where to begin, David not only went above and beyond to help me but he thoroughly devised a plan ensure that I could get this charge dismissed. I was quite the hassel to say the least and he stayed the most patient individ...ual and never hesitated to reassure me that my charge was going to get dismissed. Fast forward a few months later after some tricks and exhausting his connections, MY CASE WAS DISMISSED! He was more than helpful. Although I hope to never have to use him again, he will be my go to if anything ever happens or if any of my friends need a referral. Retain David Lee if you can and I promise he will do everything in his power to get you the best situation possible!!!

Extremely thankful!!!

David Yoon-Lee is a great attorney! He did everything that he promised to get my boyfriend and I drug charge dismissed. Even when I had doubts, he constantly reassured me that i had nothing to worry about and that everything would turn out alright in the end. And he was right! I’m so grateful to have... found Mr. Lee and appreciate how hard he worked for me and my boyfriend day in and day out keeping us updated with our case and making sure we were doing everything that we needed to do on our end to ensure the best outcome possible. Let’s not forget about his prices! He IS the best lawyer with THE BEST prices! Highly recommended!

Finally off Probation

Sentenced to 6 years deferred probation a few years back. The whole time all I could think about was early terminating. After being quoted all types of ridiculous ​prices by other lawyers I got hopeless for a while. I had to remind myself that all I needed was a motion submitted , It​ wasn't like thi...s was a whole new case. So I gave it another try and searched around and that's when I ran across David. Can you say "BLESSING" !!! Not only was his price VERY reasonable but he was ready to get started the next day. Not to mention that my case was in a different county from where I live. He even offered to submit the motion again in a few months for FREE if the court denied it. How cool right? Here's the twist... 4 days before my court hearing to determine if I would remain on probation or be terminated from it; they wanted me to give a urine sample. I guess you could say I celebrated a little early with the thought of being felony free again. I went in and attempted to manipulate my drug test by bringing in different urine and getting busted with it by the head probation supervisor! (THIS MEANS AN AUTOMATIC PROBATION VIOLATION WITH A WARRANT TO ARREST YOU)...I know, I know I'm an idiot. I called David and after him calming me down he assured me he would work it out the best he could and to just let him handle it. 4 days later he called me while at court and told me my case was over and I was successfully terminated from probation. Still can't believe it.. sentenced to 6yrs and completed in 4. This guy is definitely worth it. Highly recommended​. Thanks David
