About David
Biography
Criminal defense exclusively since 2004 across 10 Central Texas counties. The firm has obtained over 1,000 case dismissals since 2020. Texas Bar #24047094.
I founded the firm in 2008 and have practiced criminal defense continuously since being admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 2004. The firm handles DWI, drug, assault, family-violence, white-collar, federal, and post-conviction matters across Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bell, Caldwell, Lee, Coryell, Burnet, Milam, and Bastrop counties.
Three attorneys review every case as a team. By the first consult, the firm has already obtained and reviewed the client’s Probable Cause Affidavit and identified the State’s evidentiary weak points.
Every case is fact-specific. Past results do not predict outcomes in any future matter.

Very good!
David did a great job handling my case. It was my first, God willing last, and he got it dismissed. He told me what I needed to do prior to my hearing, and I did it. He also worked with me on paying for his services which worked out great for me! I highly recommend him to anybody that needs help ...

David to the rescue!
I called David last August after my daughter got a minor in possession while away in college. My wife & I were terrified that this mistake might cost our daughter dearly.

David White was hired to represent my grandson a number of times for different offenses. He represented him very well, I was very pleased and satisfied with his expertise. He was very thorough in explaining what was happening and cared about the client and the family.

No-Nonsense Representation and Results!
After a night of black-out intoxication, I was hit with a trumped-up 2nd Degree Felony charge.

Highly recommended
My son was facing a felony. David was honest about the outcome but confident we could avoid the worst. Without him I feel sure my son would be in jail right now. I would highly recommend hiring David White for your legal issues.

"Directly after law school I worked professionally with David White in 2004 and 2005 while he was a young attorney working for the United States Government. Mr. White is one of the hardest workers that I have ever met. He was able to complete any task that was assigned to him and complete that task by going above and beyond what was asked of him to do. Mr. White was even awarded as being one of the top producing attorneys out of a group of several attorneys that worked in our sector of the U.S. Government. I have had the pleasure of keeping in touch with Mr. White after we worked together in the mid-2000’s. He has kept me informed about his professional career doing criminal defense work in Austin, Texas and from what I have been told by numerous attorneys practicing law in the Austin area, Mr. White is a top criminal defense attorney. As a fellow Texas attorney I endorse Mr. White in all any endeavor that he takes part in. -Dan Cherkassky"
