Posted by anonymous | January 14, 2021 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Excellent lawyer for my dwi case

Came to Mr. Breston to help settle my DWI case. Cost was affordable and payment methods were accommodating. Great set of defense routes that he had incase something popped up in my case. Eventually went on the suitable route to get my case dismissed. will hire again, if ever need to. Thank you from t...he bottom of my heart 10/10

Great Attorney

I was not disappointed. David Breston represented me on 2 cases. I really believed I would have to do some time even though I knew I was innocent. David tells it like he sees it. He fought hard and both cases were dismissed. Thank you for not letting me give up.

Amazing Lawyer

Hired David because my father had been on probation for 10 years then they added another 5, because he simply couldn't afford a better lawyer. This was a tough white collar crime. My father was diagnosed with Dementia and David was super understanding about the issue and able to get my fathers probat...ion terminated. My father is the happiest he has ever been thanks to David. This was a first degree felony and David was able to terminate the probation swiftly.

The best

David has been the best to work with in getting some mistakes from my younger days sealed. He’s very responsive, professional and I will be sure to recommend him. Thanks for the help David

Posted by Eric | August 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Getting the Job Done

I recently retained the law office of David Breston to have a blemish on my record from 46 years ago expunged. I had been informed all those years ago that my record had been cleared, only to recently and unexpectedly discover that the expunction had never happened. David Breston and his assistant... Gracie Garcia acted quickly and divisively to have the 46 year old records found and the expunction completed. They were professional and very responsive to all my inquiries. David and Gracie are a great team to work with.
