Amazing represenation!
I cannot even begin to put my thoughts into words to describe my positive experience with my attorney David Volk. I believe I had a unique situation that began 2 years ago, when I was in trial for DWI. I felt lost, with no clue how to even face this challenge. I retained the services of David Volk to...
This certainly was a unique situation. The second Judge granted a dismissal with prejudice based on a lack of speedy trial when the case was refiled out of spite (1st Judge threw the case out when the State was not upfront with him about trial scheduling and witness availability). I am happy for this client and I appreciate the kind words. Thank you.
