Amazing attorney

David is an exceptional attorney not only because of his outstanding talents in the courtroom, but also because of his ability to sit down with you and walk you through his plan of action, making sure that you understand every step and measure that he is going to take while defending your case. After... my DWI conviction I met with David and discussed what steps could be taken to improve my chances in court, and walked out of his office feeling reassured that I was with one of the best lawyers in Texas. During the following months David and his assistant Matt were quick to address any questions I had, and eventually closed my case with a greatly reduced plea deal. I would recommend David to anybody in need of a defense attorney, as well as any of his partners.

Great lawyer

I got a DWI and was not sure what I was going to do or how to handle it. Mr. Guinn Jr. was very welcoming and assured me that it would be taken care of from the moment I walked into his office. We met several times and he always made me feel like my case was important to him. He was able to get me a ...Pre-Trial Diversion and he has been helpful every step of the way. I would recommend him 100%.

DWI testimony

I am studying to get into medical school and worked hard in order to graduate in 3 and a half years from undergraduate. Once I did graduate I went out with my friends to finally kick back and have a good time. I made the decision to drive and was arrested for a DWI. Mr. Guinn really helped out and ma...de me feel at ease about the situation that was presented to me. Being a person with no prior conviction or arrest I had no idea what to expect from any of it. David Guinn and his office made the process easy and straight forward. He was able to get me off with a Pre-trial diversion where I will be able to get the DWI off of my record complete. He did exactly what he said he would try to do and now I can go back to living my life without this one bad decision hanging over my head.

Life changer

I was charged with DUI, also charged with assault with a deadly weapon, also 90,000 in restitution. David worked very diligently for me, with his help I now can go on with my life charges were dismissed, if you are looking for an attorney to help you. Get ahold of him he truly is so smart and great... at his job, I'm so serious he is the man for the job, we thank you so much David, just weeks ago I felt as if my life was over, I appreciate you and your office for your professionalism.

Highly Recommend to Anyone

Hiring David to represent me was the best decision I could have made. I was facing a DWI charge, and after a lengthy 2 year battle David succeeded in getting my charge reduced. David is very good at communicating the facts of the case and not just what you want to hear. He is down to earth and easy t...o communicate with. After reviewing my case he knew there was some issues with my arrest. I had a clear goal of what I needed from David and in the end he worked diligently to exceed my expectations. It was a stressful process, but it was worth it in the end with David representing me. There are cheaper lawyers you can hire, but David's prices are fair and with the money he saved me in the long run, you will not find better representation than David Guinn. I strongly recommend coming to him first, you will not regret it. He will work with you and work for you. I can now move on with my life and not have something as devistating as a DWI affecting my future endeavors.

"David Guinn is a true gentleman and a real fighter for his clients. I’ve represented codefendants in cases in which he was involved, and his ability to instantly grasp the story behind the case and relay it to the court and other counsel is truly amazing. A great, great advocate."

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David Guinn is the gold standard for criminal defense attorneys. I consider him to be the best attorney - civil or criminal - in all of West Texas. And I should know because I not only practice in West Texas but served as a federal prosecutor in Lubbock for many years and went toe-to-toe with David on several cases. It's hard to explain what makes him different but it was apparent the moment I met him. He just has a presence about him. I know from personal experience that judges and prosecutors hold him in high regard. He is a titan in the legal community for many reasons but chief among them is that he simply cares for his clients. He fights tirelessly for each and every client and for that, he will always have my respect."
