Posted by Sergio | August 20, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

5 star lawyer hands down! Hire David Volk!

My name is Sergio Montoya. I had been arrested for DWI in March 2014. I went looking around for good legal representation and I'm glad I found David! I went to this one Valdez guy at first and he was a dick, charged way too much and didn't seem like he knew what he was talking about. I got the opposi...te when I spoke with David for the first time. David was friendly, seemed genuinely concerned for my case, very personable, and spoke to me just as a friend would. He even worked out payment arrangements with me and made his representation affordable. Also convenient to pay since I could make payments online with a credit card. During the trial, David was great. He defending me extremely well and fought my case hard. As a result of his great defense, we received a verdict of not guilty in only 20 minutes! no license suspension, or any court costs for me. By hiring David, I actually saved a lot of money rather than being found guilty and paying thousands more in fines and court costs. Worth every penny! Feel free to email to ask more question. I will be glad to answer them.

AWESOME

Mr. David Volk and partners are AWESOME! Mr. Volk kept me informed. He advised me on certain things and ALMOST guaranteed me on how the outcome would end up? I am so happy with my DISMISSAL. I was going to court hearings for over a year and Mr. Volk maybe missed one hearing and Mr. Mcelroy was there ...to represent and HE did not miss a beat. I am good person and obey the laws but sometimes things happen and a good person can get caught up in a bad situation. These Lawyers will represent you to the FULLEST! They are young,confident,trustworthy, knowledgeable,informative and got major SWAG. They need their own TV show. Mr. Mcelroy and Mr. David Volk(Mr. D) Thank you again.

Trustworthy Lawyer

My experience with Mr.Volk was a very positive and professional one. He was always in contact with me and letting me know what was happening with my case. He often checked in on what was the possible outcome that he was trying to steer the case to. My main concern with any lawyer is communication and... to feel like I was being herd. With Mr. Volk I never had a doubt in my mind that he was going to treat me badly like just another client he took the time to understand my situation and case and acted accordingly. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. Mr.Volk was so helpful and was never negative about the outcome which made me feel at ease. I am so grateful that I chose Mr.Volk as my lawyer. I would advise you for any legal matters to choose him. The only regret I had was not starting off with Mr.volk and choosing another lawyer for my case.

The right choice

When choosing the right lawyers to represent me only one group stood out as the correct choice and that was David Volk, Frank McElroy and Michael Volk. This was my 1st time needing lawyers and I didn't know exactly what to look for but they won me over from the start because I was really listened to ...and I never had the feeling of a client being sold on a product. Instead I felt like I was sharing my story with professionals who cared and believed me. I was in a tough situation since I was accused of a felony assault on a peace officer and the possible outcomes really scared me. David, Frank and Michael were realistic about the possibilities but were very confident about being able to help me based on my story. As a military veteran, a nurse and a father I had alot on the line and they never forgot about that and fought for my reputation and my career. I was always included in the process and advised whenever I had questions or doubts along the way. David, Frank and Michael knew that I wouldnt accept anything other than getting the case dropped or a not guilty verdict and they were right there with me and felt the same way. The case was not dropped and the case ended up going to trial. Although the whole process was new to me I was allowed to feel relaxed and confident because they talked me through every step and was reassured by their confident and professional demeanor as well as by their knowledge and experience. At the end of the trial I walked out of the courtroom more than satisfied after a not guilty verdict. Deliberation took about 30 minutes. It was very quick. They were that good. I hated being in the situation that I was in and I don't ever want to go through it again but Im glad I chose Volk and McElroy to represent me throught it all. They got me the outcome that I wanted and the one they said they would get me. I made the right choice and I would absolutely recommend others make the same choice.

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.
