Beyond Aggressive

When I was arrested in Scottsdale for a DUI, I did not know what to do, I do not live in Arizona, I was leaving the next morning to return home and have never gone through anything like this in my life. I also felt that I was about to be railroaded by the City of Scottsdale over this charge and to s...ay the very least, I was scared. My life was about to be turned upside down, and not only at home, financially, but also with my career. After returning home, I found the David Michael Cantor firm and called them. I explained what happen and after reviewing my side of the story, they walked me through my options. I decided to fight the charge, even though I was from another state. I have to say that I was very impressed with the legal representation I received and felt confident that if nothing else, I would have my day in court. My attorney stayed in constant communications with me with updates and I never had to wait long from him to return my calls when I had questions. Overall, I was very impressed with my legal representation and very happy that I found them. They have given back my life and my dignity. If you should ever find yourself in this type of a situation, do not hesitate to contact them, you will be very happy you did. When David Michael Cantor claims his firm is “Beyond Aggressive,” believe him, I got to witness it firsthand!

Extremely knowledgeable and aggressive attorneys who explore every angle

I was pulled towards the end of the year for making a right turn into the 2nd availalbe lane (something every American does during daylight hours) instead of the 1st lane. My friend was in car at the time and called the law office of David Cantor immediately. Someone was available at 11:30 pm to gi...ve me free advice over the phone. A few days later, I was contacted by one of their lawyers; he immediately put my mind at ease about my options; a possible DUI is extremely stressful . I made an appointment to meet with the firm to go over the incident and decide if I wanted to retain their services. Again, the lawyer I spoke with eased my worries with his explanation of the law firm's experience and expertise handling DUI's. So I decided to hire them. As I mentioned before, I was pulled over for making a right turn everyone makes during the day (over the past two weeks I've even seen cop cars make a right turn directly into the second lane of traffic). I bring this up because I believe that I shouldn't have been stopped in the first place. I was pulled over based on an arbitrary law that is hardly enforced, and actually broken by the institution tasked with enforcing this law on a daily basis. But, I found out in a court of law it doesn't matter what you believe. In my case, the law was about procedure. And this is where the Law offices of David Cantor excel. I was assigned a great lawyer, and she had a team of paralegal's and other attorneys helping out. They explored every procedural avenue in trying to win my case. And while I got impatient with the amount of court appearances, I realized these court dates, and the procedures that must be followed, open up many opportunities for the Prosecutors to screw up. It doesn't matter that I believe I shouldn't have been pulled over in the first place; the expertise and aggressiveness of my attorney in using procedural law to my advantage was second to none. My last court date related to a motion to suppress. My attorney argued that the DA's office did not supply correct and timely evidence. On a side note, after listening to my lawyer's oral argument I now understand what they mean by an "aggressive defense". It reminded me of scenes right out of NBC's LA Law. The motion to suppress was successful. And without that evidence there was no case, so my case was dismissed. I was not expecting a dismissal, and wasn't promised one, but I can't complain. I was expecting aggressive, knowledgeable attorneys. And while I can't compare this experience with one in the past, if you are looking for a firm that: 1. Puts your mind at ease from your initial consulation 2. Are experts in DUI/DWI cases and 3. Will aggressively explore every option then I would recommend this law group to everyone.

DUI? Do not hire this firm!

I am an intelligent and generally law-abiding professional who made a bad decision to drink and drive. That bad decision was compounded when I trusted the law firm of David Michael Cantor to represent me. My lawyer NEVER informed me of court dates and consistently gave me incorrect and conflicting ...information. When I asked to consult with Mr. Cantor I was told I could not speak to him directly. Then, just 2 days before my final court date I was informed that my lawyer was no longer with the firm and my case was assigned to a new attorney. The new attorney contradicted the info I received from the first one and advised me to plead guilty. I would have been better off doing this from the start (in January) because I've endured 6 months of stress and will now go to tent city in one of the hottest months of the year. Oh, and I just found out that my 3 month driver license suspension will be followed by a 1 year revocation! (due to a previous reckless driving conviction). If I had pleaded guilty in January the 3 month suspension and the 12 month revocation would have run simultaniously for a 12 month net, but now the 3 month suspension is almost over soothe 12 month revocation will be added on, for a total of 15 months! So, as you can surely see, this firm just made my horrendous situation even worse! Oh, and let's not forget about the $5,000 dollars These guys took from me just to make things worse!!! So I repeat, DO NOT hire this law firm or you too may find yourself in an even worse situation!
