There are very few attorneys who have extensive experience handling federal criminal cases. I've handled more than 1000 cases in federal courts. Many attorneys claim they have federal experience but actually have handled very few cases (sometimes none). They spend more time on advertising than they spend handling cases. Some of the attorneys who advertise on Avvo and other marketing sites are listed on less than 10 federal cases in the court's computer system. Go to the court's PACER site and enter any attorney's name to see how many cases he or she has actually handled. Be careful about hiring an attorney who spends more time on advertising and marketing than on fighting for clients. Call me for a free consultation about your situation. If I'm not the right attorney for you, I'll provide you with a list of competent, reasonably priced attorneys who may be able to help you.

Excellent
Mr.Adler is a very knowledgeable lawyer. He worked my federal case. I thought all was lost because that’s what it looked liked, I was looking at over 10 years and he got me 5 but he fought for me and my family every step of the way. He was also very sympathetic with me and my family. Thank Mr. Adler ...

Exceptional
I engaged David to represent my grandson in a difficult case. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney.
