About David
Practice areas
- Speeding and traffic ticket: 60%
If there is a ticket for it, I have beaten it. We don't take prisoners. We don't go down there to schmooze or trade baby pictures with the Prosecutor. We go to WORK. Your driving record and pocketbook - short term and long term - are our chief concerns. We aren't there to accept the same "deal" that someone without an attorney gets. We have a solid, 2+ DECADE long body of work to point to. If your job or livelihood depend on winning, contact us. Telephone or e-mail are preferred.
28 years, 4,300 cases
- Criminal defense: 20%
Felony and Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Assaults, Auto-related offenses, Burglary, Drug, DWI, Weapons, White Collar,
29 years, 200 cases
- Administrative law: 15%
Dealing with the FMCSA, both the Safety Enforcement people, and DataQs is the new emphasis for the Practice. We can do you some good. There avenues to contest Claims and false entries and dismissals. Simply paying them is "unwise" at best. We handle License Suspension and Dsqual Hrngs., and Petitions for Occupational Licenses. We will happily put you in touch with expert counsel for Expunctions, ALR hearings, and Requests for Ltd Distrib of Crim Info (so-called "sealing the record")/
14 years, 94 cases
- Transportation: 5%
This is an area of practice within the area of Administrative Law. We deal with all aspects of situations where your company, large or small, is subject to sanctions, from monetary to loss of commercial carrier no., to forced closure, that stem from allegations of unacceptable safety behavior. We can help you lessen the punishment, and to get your safety "act together". CALL US the moment you get notice of a safety audit. Time is of the essence!
