DWI Case

David Guinn did everything in his power to get my life back on track. Forever grateful for all of his time and effort to help this get resolved. He was transparent about the possible outcomes and told me what was happening at all times. The best case scenario ended up happening. I thought my life wa...s over and I was never going to be able to move on. Through David's avid assistance I have been able to deal with it. He was always there to answer my endless questions and he did everything he could to help me.

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.

GOAT

Mr. Guinn came highly recommended to me as a really excellent Attorney that is the best at what he does in the Lubbock, TX area and I would have to agree. I met him on at his office Saturday sometime in May 2022 which I didn't expect that especially on a weekend. We sat down and spoke for over an hou...r and discussed myself, Mr. Guinn's career and accolades as well as my options and what he might be able to and the best approach to take. He listened to me and my concerns and made me feel at ease regarding the suit and his confidence of a good outcome. As a result I hired him on the spot and fully put my faith in this man to handle matters regarding my case as it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made hiring an attorney. Within a few months time and true to his word he was able to get me a fair judgement from the prosecutor and few days later much to my surprise my was able to get the case rejected by the DA's office as long as I was able to perform my due diligence and follow through on my part. I couldn't be happier with Mr. Guinn, his staff and the great results that were achieved. So, if your in a situation and finding that you need legal assistance in and around Lubbock look this man up as he is worth every dollar that was spent.

the best out there

he was referred to myself and my husband when i got into some trouble and from day one he was very professional and very determined to help.he made sure we understood he was on our side and that he would do everything in his power to help. any time we had a question he answered, if he happened to be ...busy or out of town he still made a point to contact us when he could. i had never been in any situation to where i needed a lawyer so i was terrified of what could happen but he was very good at explaining everything in terms i could understand. he fought for me and when i was ready to just give up he told me to not give up and he will get me a better deal…& he did exactly that! an amazing lawyer& i wish him continued success!

"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."
