DWI

I’m very grateful to have Mr. Guinn is my attorney he is very professional in his job always answered my questions. He really cares about his clients. I was very scared about my case with DWI but all I did is believe in Mr.Guinn and he got it done I would definitely recommend him very professiona and... good attorney.

DWI Issues? Look no further!

Mr. Guinn was my lawyer and I am so thankful to have had him during this process. He was not only able to get my DWI dropped from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor. He was also able to get me a plea deal for my incident and lessened the punishment that I was going to receive. I would re...commend anyone having any kind legal issues to Mr. Guinn. Him and his staff are very friendly and I really am glad that I chose them to take care of me and my issues that I was having!

DWI! No problem

David probably had to be one of the most calm people I’ve ever met. When I got a DWI I thought my world had fell apart. But David didn’t see it like that. He gave me some advice on how to see the good. I took that advice and now I’m back to a better life! More money in my pocket that’s for sure!!! If... it happened again I would definitely hire David again! He got me exactly what I wanted with ease. Thanks again David

Best results - DWI case

I received one of the worst calls a mother can receive, and that was that my underage son had been arrested and was in jail for DWI in Lubbock. We were shocked and had absolutely no idea what to do next. Thank goodness we found and hired David Guinn. He told us exactly what was happening, what would ...happen next, what he would be doing in response, and what the possible outcomes could be. Thankfully with his expertise and guidance, we got a wonderful result that put my son's life back on track. We will be forever grateful to Mr. Guinn for this. I do not hesitate to recommend him.

Thank You,Thank You, Thank You!

I was on probation for 6 years for a third dwi in 2016. I was only supposed to have the blow machine for 2 years but had it for 5. The PO wanted to put me in some kind of place locked up. And David said um NO. He kept me from going into.that place. He gave me the best Christmas and new years I've eve...r had. My case was dismissed. Would I recommend him. Of course I would and have twice already! Thank you so much from my family to yours!!!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
