7 CASES DISMISSED AT AT ONCE! HE IS YOUR GUY!

DAVID KIATTA IS THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND ONE OF MY MOST TRUSTED FRIENDS! He has handled all my cases and had gotten dismissed! I had 2 misdemeanors, and 2 felony cases in Fort Bend, 1 felony case in Harris County, 1 misdemeanor and 1 felony case in Galveston County. 7 CASES A...LL DISMISSED WHICH HE HANDLED ALL AT ONE TIME!!!! WHO CAN DO THAT??? NO OTHER THAN DAVID KIATTA! He is GENUINE, UNDERSTANDING, HONEST, RELIABLE and a FAMILY man! I was struggling with addiction and he was there for me as a great friend and attorney. He still continues to check up on me to make sure everything is going well. If it were not for him I would have been in jail, lost my children and lost my license to practice. HE IS MY MIRACLE! SO please do not look for anyone ELSE besides DAVID because I guarantee you he will DELIVER AND SET YOU FREE!!!

Looking out for the little guy

Mr. Kiatta saved my life from a mistake I made as a thoughtless young adult. He fought for me and treated me as family, worked with me around my schedule. My life wouldn’t be on the track and this path if it wasn’t for him. He’s a blessing and the right man to have on your side.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"David has distinguished himself as one of the premier criminal defense attorneys in Houston. I first came to know of him by reputation about ten years ago. Since then, I have remained impressed by his ability to routinely obtain outstanding results for his clients in both State and Federal Courts. As a result of his experience, skill and integrity, he has earned the respect of judges, prosecutors and fellow defense lawyers. David is Board Certified in Criminal Law. I regularly turn to him for answers to complex questions of criminal procedure and trial strategy. When a potential client contacts my office in need of assistance for a serious criminal defense matter outside my area of expertise (Murder, Sexual Assault, Possession Child Pornography, FEDERAL Crimes), David is the lawyer I advise them to contact. David has earned my trust and respect, He is worthy of yours as well."
