Rusults driven knowledgeable DUI attorney

Elizabeth did an excellent job for my son. He was scared and unsure of the ramifications and impending results. She was extremely knowledgeable of our case and how to best proceed. She was able to detail every step of the process and explain in layman terms what every step was, the alternatives an...d expected results for each scenario. Her service to us invaluable. Her guidance through a difficult DUI process calmed our nerves and gave us great confidence in a positive outcome. This resulted in the DUI being thrown out and settling for a misdemeanor traffic violation. Her job was thorough and greatly appreciated. We would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a strong and knowledgeable DUI attorney.

Aggressive defense

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 give... 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 to Elizabeth, 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. Elizabeth 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.
