This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best decision we've made!

We hired David Poblete to represent my boyfriend in sentencing after a faulty lawyer had mislead us, causing him to lose a jury trial. What a breath of fresh air. Mr Poblete was everything we had dreamed of in a criminal defense lawyer. He was always available to talk over the phone, exceeded our exp...ectations reading over the entire case and trial, and taught us so much about law. My boyfriend was facing 7 years in state prison and Mr. Poblete's professionalism in the court room made it so that my boyfriend was granted probation!! We have nothing but amazing things to say about Shouse Law Group and David Poblete. We are eternally greatful.

Life saver!

David Poblete is a lifesaver! My boyfriend's previous attorney was terrible and had lost him a jury trial. We hired David Poblete to represent him during sentencing and he did an amazing job. He got us the exact sentence that we were hoping for and fought so hard. My boyfriend was facing 7 years in p...rison and Mr. Poblete's hard work and research got him probation. We are eternally greatful. He is punctual, dedicated and an all around great lawyer to work with. He is always available to get ahold of and we were shocked at the number of late nights he stayed up writing and researching the case. He read thousands of pages of transcripts and represented us flawlessly, especially for being someone who was not a part of the trial. Highly highly recommend. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Mr. Poblete!

Courtroom Judo

I was Blessed to have found David Poblete to represent me in my case. Davids knowledge made it clear that he took the time to do his homework on other case rulings that could effect the outcome of my personal case. He taught me a lot about the legal system. When I asked why he chose to represent C...lients in criminal court, he said, "I want to save the homies", David Always composed himself very professionally inside and outside of the court. I know the district attorney and judge were both impressed by Davids zeal and quick thinking during the preliminary hearings. My case ended up being settled in the preliminary stage, I can say that I definitely trust that David Pobletes Legal advice is sound, and sincere. I am happy I found an attorney who actually cared about the outcome of my case.

Very fast and friendly

David helped me with a DUI that wasn't finished for a few years. When I contacted him and explained my case he went to the court, gathered all information needed to complete my case and even had my DUI classes transferred to the new state I live in for me. All was taken care of very swiftly and pro...fessionally. I even had a secondary matter that came up and David was right there to be able to assist again. Thank you for clearing my case for me.

Criminal Charge of Marijuana Sales, Transportation, and Posession

I had impossible case facts to deal with. The ordeal is over, thank god... So I don't mind making the facts public. I had a charge of Sales, as I had sold to a Undercover Police Officer in the city of Alhambra. I had three felony counts I was facing with Jail Time and priors. David actually came to m...y home on a few occasions to go over my case with me personally. He really took the time to listen, and translated that into a defense that yielded a real bite. There was a Miranda Violation in my case, and he was successful in proving that. As a result, lot's of the evidence was thrown out. There is so much that goes into effectively representing a client. David has all the qualities you would want in a Lawyer, he fights vigorously, extremely knowledgeable, personable, extremely competitive, assertive, and he really seems to care. If I were to find myself in the same situation, I would not hesitate to hire David again. Dave really believed we had a fighting chance on the case, even though I thought we should take a plea. I'm glad I listened to my Attorney - we hung the jury, then took a plea to 1 count, probation only - no jail time. Nobody should go to jail for a plant, by the way.
