Top notch defense attorney

David not only represented me in this county but he went above and beyond to collaborate with other counties to get me the best outcome possible. He gave me recommendations on what efforts I should do myself to help me get the best outcome He saved my freedom, health, and life. I highly recommend ...him to anyone wanting an exceptional attorney who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for his clients.

I have used Mr. Defoore has done a wonderful job with my case and has fought hard for us every time. He doesn't take his job lightly. He is motivated and dedicated to helping no matter how tough it is. To me I wouldn't find a better attorney. Thanks for all your help Mr. Defoore. We are not done yet ...;)

David DeFoore

When I first met Mr. DeFoore, I was struck by how young he looked! I thought he couldn't possibly be much older than me, and I'm in my mid-20's! But he has turned out to be the most helpful lawyer I've ever dealt with. He explains things in lamans terms, that a non-lawyer person can understand. H...e is straight-forward and honest. He is handling my divorce/custody case against my mother and soon-to-be-ex husband. This will be the first time I'll walk into a courtroom with confidence that we will win. He seems to go above and beyond what any other attorneys have been willing to do, at least for me. His costs/prices seem more than reasonable and he seems to be willing to work with any budget (my budget is quite small!). I'm positive that if I ever need legal representation in the future, I will definitely use David DeFoore. Plus, he's just a nice guy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
