Domestic Violence Nightmare

Wow, where do I start? Well my name is Ronnie and just recently I was charged with Domestic Violence. I was in a toxic relationship for 7 years and I was in some really trying times more often than not. Finally I got fed up with trying to make things work and I finally asked her to leave. I gave ...her an ultimatum to make arrangements and to be gone by a certain time or I would serve her with eviction papers. Well when her time had come up, an argument ensued and to make a long story short, I was arrested and charged with Domestic Violence. I am a man who has never in my life been in trouble with the law. I pay my bills on time, pay my taxes, follow rules and regulations and lastly, I obey the law. In fact I don't even have as much as a parking ticket. With that being said if something like this could happen to me, It can certainly happen to you. If you're reading this and you're in search for an attorney then I'm here to tell you to stop your search! Here's why. After getting released from jail I was approached by a family member who referred David Blair to me and he was highly praised, because of his prior case. I was intrigued, so I asked to meet with Mr. Blair. When I came to his office and sat down with him, I was able to discuss what happened in detail and I could tell immediately that he was not only understanding, but he was also very experienced and I hired him that very day. David showed up to court with me and on every scheduled court hearing, David chipped away at the DA's case little by little. Weather it be from the small victories like the protection order for me to see my kids to the big victories in getting my sentence reduced. I was looking at 90 days in jail, Classes and a psychiatric evaluation. Not only was I looking at all of that, but I was in jeopardy of losing my government job. For me this was a complete nightmare! I could lose everything and on top of that, I would have to live with that crucial blemish on my record for every employer to see when doing a background check and making good jobs impossible to attain. It made me sick to my stomach and it accounted for many sleepless nights. I have to admit, I was very terrified. When David went to work on my case, I stated earlier that he was able to chip away at the DA's case. On one particular day he was able to get my 90 days in jail reduced to no days in jail and no psychiatric evaluation. However I would still have to plead guilty and go to classes and to not get into any trouble for a year. That wasn't very hard for me, but I didn't feel that I should have to do any of that for something I didn't do. David had made a huge difference in my case and because of that I decided to take it all the way to trial. David was able to go back to work on my case and to my surprise, he was able to get my case dismissed before the scheduled trial. Not only was he able to keep my record clean, but I was also able to keep my job. Mr. David Blair is an attorney that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for counsel and if you want someone who has experience, is understanding, has the ability to communicate clear and concise, who is available, has good rapport, and reasonable pricing then David is the attorney that you want to representing you. for me there wasn't any question, this was my life and my future. I not only trusted him, but I believed in him and I knew that he was the attorney for me and I believe he can be for any one of you who reads this. David, thank you for all that you've done for me. I am eternally grateful to you!
