I would not be where I am today without David Kiatta
I was facing my second DWI charge in Harris County when I met David Kiatta. I was looking at jail time and other severe punishment for my actions. Mr. Kiatta knew I needed help. He took it upon himself to get me into a rehabilitation facility. This was only the first step of many that David Kiatta took to help me. He convinced the judge that treatment was the best option for me and I was allowed to leave the state for three months. When I was finished with my treatment, Mr. Kiatta once again went above and beyond. My final sentencing in Harris County for DWI 2nd was time served and court fees. NO jail time, and NO probation.There is NO WAY I would be where I am today without David Kiatta. He will fight for your rights and he will work to get you what you deserve. He is an incredible attorney, mentor, and friend. He is still, to this day, an important part of my continuing recovery.

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 ALL 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.

Tremendously Helpful
I was accused of a hit & run that didn't happen. From the beginning, David was extremely helpful with helping me navigate the booking process & secure a bond. For the next 1.5 years he represented me as my case made it through the legal system and the charges were ultimately dismissed. Very thankful for David's advice & recommendations throughout entire process!

When you need a champion, a "David" not afraid of Goliath, call Kiatta!
This attorney deserves more than five stars, the number of the stars in the Harris County night skies might come close. He's that good. My son was facing serious allegations that had the potential to severely limit his relationship with his young son in the short term and long term. Ultimately, the charges filed could have resulted in loss of employment, freedom and access to a young child. It was a frightening prospect for this mother and grandmother, but somehow, by God's grace, my son was referred to David Kiatta, who answered his call, and responded with confident, faith based professionalism and extraordinary skill and commitment. His dedicated efforts brought about a successful DISMISSAL of the charges, and I recently told him that after my son's first interview with him, I was pleased to observe that not only was it obvious he (Kiatta) was a Christian, but it was equally obvious he wouldn't be hesitant to flip a few tables in the hallowed halls of justice for the very cause of justice! Not sure how many he had to flip, but a dedicated new daddy and his baby boy, my grandson, will get to continue making many happy memories together because of David Kiatta. You can trust this man to do his very best to protect your life, your children's lives and their futures. He has earned my lifetime respect and appreciation. My son had two powerhouses present in court with him, a God that hears prayer, and David Kiatta, a friend of God! You can trust both of them.

Extremely helpful and caring!
I reached out to Mr. Kiatta via Avvo and he got back to me relatively quickly. He’s very professional, took his time to help answer all of my questions and provided me with very useful info. Although I don’t need his services, I will be sure to provide his contact info to anyone I know that will need a defense attorney that really seems to take the time with someone and who cares!
Thank you again Mr. Kiatta!

What A Guy! Most heinous allegations ever and he was there for us the entire time
When custody battles go wrong they can turn into criminal battles, and before i knew it, i am answering questions to police about allegedly committing the most heinous acts against a person. It amazes me the lengths of lies and darkness people will go to just to destroy another person. I had started losing hope in the system and humanity in general and realized that there is nothing that i can do to make things better on my own when fighting a barrage of lies that only has one purpose, to destroy me and my new spouse and get people locked away in jail for a long time.
I talked with several attorneys around town and my own brother is even an attorney, but when i talked with David Kiatta, he just seemed to understand and listen to everything that i said and after our first consultation i already had some ease of mind. He was there for me through this entire process and went above and beyond what he was hired to do. After it is all said and done, i got to know him and wow, what a great guy! Thanks just don't say enough when someone is there for us like this through one of the most stressful and insane times of our lives.
It's not just him though, it's the incredible network of people that he knows and that's how i got recommended to him...from another local attorney.
What A Guy!

David Kiatta
David has been instrumental in helping me not only in my legal matters but with my personal life as well. I was struggling with addicition at the time I had met David (DWI and POM), and he referred me to La Hacienda in Hunt Tx. Since then my life has changed dramatically. I have lost 30 pounds, stopped drinking and using and have developed stronger ties with family and real friends. I am working on developing a strong relationship with Christ as well. As I was in recovery , David handled all my court dates so I could just focus on getting better. He has given me an opportunity to get my case dismissed and start a new chapter in my life. My family and I are grateful to have been referred to David. I highly recommend this man to help you with any legal issue.

A Christmas i'll never forget
0430 25 Dec. Christmas morning in Fort Bend, Texas, a young man decided to steal from me. I saw him breaking in on my security cameras. I addressed the issue and the burglar. I am a Black man in Texas. Even with footage from my surveillance cameras and being well within the requirements of the castle doctrine, (this happened between dusk and dawn, and on property under my control) I still needed an attorney. From the moment I first spoke with Attorney Kiatta he was respectful and empathetic. He made me feel as though he understood my fear as well as made me comfortable. He also expertly explained the process and kept me up to date as the case progressed. Attorney Kiatta was always reasonably available. When I would call and he was unavailable he’d text right back saying “I’LL CALL YOU RIGHT BACK…!!” or something to that effect and he did. He sat outside my murder grand jury hearing and was the first person I saw when I walked out. (Defense Attorneys aren't allowed in the court during a grand jury hearing) No Bill!!!! I’m beyond thankful for this generous man.
This man is so much better than the $10/mo insurance offered at your CHL/LTC class. He provides top notch service.
My family and I are grateful. I will remember Attorney Kiatta every Christmas.
Thank you sir!

Excellent attorney - Cases dismissed!
My fiancé was facing a felony DWI charge and we didn’t know where to turn. We were highly recommended to David Kiatta by a family, attorney friend. Right from the start he took charge and handled every aspect of the legal issues. I have never had someone go out of their way and treat us the way that David Kiatta did. He treated us as if we were family and he genuinely cared about helping us. During this time my fiancé received 2 more convictions. David went out of his way to help us without even having to ask. He was always there when we needed him whether in person, email, or a phone call. All of the charges, including the felony DWI were dropped! I honestly do not think anyone else could have gotten this outcome. David Kiatta is an honest, man of God who genuinely cares about the people he represents. He also really knows his way around a court room and everyone loves him. Because of him we were given a fresh, new start at life. This would have never happened without his help, guidance, and hard work. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. We will never be able to repay him for everything he has done for us.

David Kiatta kept me out of jail.
I was facing multiple charges (DWI and assault). David was recommended by a family member, and after the initial consultation, I was 100% sure I was going to use David as my Lawyer. David walked me through all my options and offered his opinion on which route I should take. I thought for sure I was going to be doing some time in jail until I hired David. The entire court process was much less stressful and worrisome with David's help. At each court appearance and several times in between appearances, David kept me updated and informed on what actions he was taking to help my case. It was obvious that he knew his stuff and had been practicing law a very long time. David gave me peace of mind throughout the process and in the end, I stayed out of jail and kept my license. Couldn't be more thankful for his help and I would recommend him to anyone looking for the best possible representation. Even now, I keep in touch with David and have questions and requests he is happy to help me with. Once again, couldn't be more satisfied with his performance and the outcome of my case.

I hired David to represent me in court, which he did and outstanding job. I have never posted a review on line before. I just wanted to let you know, there are some good lawyers still out there. HE IS ONE OF THEM….. I HIRELY recommend him to take your case. Everything he said actually happened, there were no surprises. He always answered all my questions when asked, he always returned my phone calls. He was very professional and i would use him again if needed. Please do not pass this lawyer up.
