David Welch/Craig Nunnally

In March i was charged with a dui, not only did my case get reduced to a wet and reckless, but my fines were reduced, my classes were cut in half, and there is currently no dui on my record. His paralegal Craig went out of his way to work with me on payment arrangements, drove all the way to meet me,... & more than once soothed my frazzled nerves! For Craig alone i would use this firm again; as well as recommend them to anyone looking for legal counsel!

Professional, not guilty verdict

David Welsh represented me, nearly a two year process with 3 counts against me, with professionalism, integrity and aggressiveness. I was very pleased with the not guilty verdicts and the manner in which he handled the case. I would recommend David to any family member or friend.

Highly Recommend!!

For anyone looking for a great defense attorney, I highly recommend the law firm of David A. Welch. I retained Mr. Welch s associate, Matthew, in March 2012. Initially I was very concerned that because I reside in Northern California but needed counsel in Southern California, finding good represent...ation would be very difficult. After my first conversation with Matthew, my fears were assuaged. From the unfortunately circumstance of having to retain counsel to they wonderful ending of the case being dismissed, Matthew and David made this confusing process a positive one for me. I never felt like I was just another case or that my case wasn t that important . I would be happy to speak to anyone regarding my recommendation of the David A. Welch Law Firm. I can be emailed at[removed by avvo staff] Thank you again to Matthew and David! Ann Musso

highly recommended

From the moment I contacted him he reassured me and gave good advice. He and his firm started right away working hard on my case and kept me informed through out the process. He was very professional in court and fought hard for my case.
