Release from lease obligation

I was having a lot of problems with my apartment. David Volk helped me get out of my 13 month lease 3 months early. He worked fast on getting me out of my apartment. A letter sent to the corporate office within a couple of days and I was released from my lease. David Volk was very professional and w...as very knowledgable. I would recommend David Volk to anyone looking for a lawyer to get things done right and fast. I am very happy that I used Volk & McElroy law firm and David Volk as my lawyer.

U.S. Military

David Volk is an attorney like no other. He reminds me of a Pit bull. My situation was very difficult to deal with, having visited San Antonio for the first time, being an out of state resident, I never thought I would face any legal situation. After a few bad decision's I made over a weekend, I w...as arrested in San Antonio with very severe charges. Career ending and possible prison sentencing up to ten years. With no criminal history I was afraid, being in the military and in combat, I was actually afraid for the first time in my life. I got all the usual brochures, but I was impressed with the professionalism that David Volk presented, in my eyes, it meant he met business. From the first time I talkled to David over the phone to the dismisal of my case, David was always there, and willing to talk. I would reccomend David to any close friends or family, he means business and will do all he can to represent you.

Legal Review

Good Afternoon, Mr. Volk did an outstanding job resolving my legal issue. He kept me informed thorughout the entire process. I could not believe the speediness of his responses and the clarity of resolving the issue. I would definitely recommend him to any of my colleagues. I will utilize his s...ervices in the future, if needed.

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... handle my case, and it was one of the best choices I can recommend. David Volk explained the process to me, and was with me in every step of the way. My original case was dismissed by the Judge after the DA kept pushing my case month after month while they prepared their case against me. My attorney during all this time was ready with my strong defense. The Judge finally dismissed my case after the DA was unable to prepare their prosecution against me. Unfortunately after the dismissal, the DA refiled against me (hence my unique experience). David Volk was ready, and fought for me. He got my 2nd case dismissed with prejudice, and the new Judge even apologized on behalf of the DA's office for over-prosecuting me. During this 2 year ordeal, I was never worried because I knew I was in good hands. Although I feel my positive review does not do David Volk any justice, I can promise that he will have justice for you.

Replied last March 20, 2014

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.
