This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

David is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and caring. He is a great attorney, and also a good human being. I had a criminal matter which was worrying me sick, and I do not know anything about the law. I called him after making phone calls to several attorneys, and he must have talked to me for 40 minut...es over the phone for free. He must have saved me hundreds of dollars because other lawyers were trying to scare me into hiring them. His insight into the legal system, for free, gave me the knowledge I needed to move forward. I ended up not needing an attorney for my matter, but I would not have known that without talking to David. He also advised me on defense actions that no other attorney had told me previously. Excellent attorney, honest guy, hands down!

Sharp, Personable, Highly Effective & HE CARES

If David takes your case - an angel is watching over you. The only reason David does not have more 5 star reviews is simply that he does not ask for reviews. David saved me life - without exaggeration- two years ago and I simply did not know review pages existed. I had charges against me in a ...strategic maneuver by my spouse during a divorce to gain legal advantage over our children. My life was temporarily obliterated and very few took time to listen, let alone believe me. David made an urgent schedule change to meet me, appear on very short notice, and actually reassured me based on the evidence, he did believe me. 70 days later the charges were dismissed and cannot be reopened. David gave me updates proactively, was always prompt in responding, & is fully prepared everytime you see him - not to mention dressed like a million. David is swift, highly connected, extremely thorogh, but most importantly...his demeanor is consistently calming. With that, he is a straight shooter, does not avoid difficult news, but delivers with the human being in the fore front of his mind, respectfully. He knows where to spend your time & money to get the most effectice result based on what he has to work with. If you need to get to the point, have a high rate of confidence from the start....you're here. You'll get a bulldog going for a bone....that maneuvers so gracefully the opposition is left wondering why the bite didn't hurt. David Beller is not your typical bulldog - and you will love him for how he gets results.

Best in the Business

David Beller is the best lawyer I have ever worked with, period. Not only is he highly knowledgeable in all of the areas of his practice, but he has proven to be an excellent counselor in regards to his empathetic demeanor, and his carefully crafted advice. Mr. Beller is also ingenious with his c...reative approaches in dealing with each case. I have come to appreciate his 'three-pronged' approach when giving advice. Instead of presenting the good news and the bad news of my case, he had other solid paths to choose in order to create the best possible outcome. He presented my options in the following ways. "We can fight it, which is a gamble considering the evidence. We can settle now in order to avoid going to trial and incurring more costs, OR We can seek a compromise in front of the judge to help illustrate your good faith in this matter." Throughout, Mr. Beller has shown a high level of integrity by following the best practices of law. He's very quick to return phone calls and emails. He is an encyclopedia of information regarding his practice. There was even an instance where David Beller was more aware of the law than the judge that sat on the bench. Even so, he remained polite, professional, and prepared. This is no doubt one of the reasons that Mr. Beller has such an excellent reputation in Denver. If, by chance, he isn't an expert in the area that you need, he knows another reputable lawyer who is. Mr. Beller is highly organized, professional, and an excellent communicator. If anything unexpected occurs, he remains calm and steady while demonstrating flexibility and creativity. Even if he wasn't so thoroughly prepared, which he always is, David Beller would still be a force in the courtroom. I cannot express enough gratitude toward David Beller. If you are reading this, and you are looking for the best lawyer in Denver, look no further. Mr. Beller is your guy.
