Highly Recommend

I want to sincerely thank my attorney for his incredible work and dedication. From our first conversation, he made me feel supported, informed, and at ease during a time that was anything but easy. He listened without judgment, explained every step of the process clearly, and handled my DUI case with... skill and confidence. Throughout the process I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who cared and who knew exactly what he was doing. I’m deeply grateful and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a strong, reliable, and honest lawyer. Thank you David!

Professional and Thorough

I was served a temporary restraining order that could of lead to termination by my employer and a threat to my livelihood. Knowing I couldn't do this alone, I pursued legal representation. David Canty took my case. He went above and beyond with his investigation and research. With his professionalism... and knowledge, he was able to prove the accusations were frivolous. Which the judge agreed and dismissed the case. Also was able to have the petitioner pay half of my attorney fees. I highly recommend David Canty for any criminal cases.

David Michael Canty

I had been given a notice of an issue that had taken place in California regarding my daughter and a legal issue. Unsure on who to contact because we are from Michigan and have no ties to any lawyers in that area I called David Canty. With his experience and passion to help me out and resolve our sit...uation by contacting the courts and set up a resolution quickly to get my daughter out of trouble it exonerated her of wrong doing thru one of the judges. They established a program to help make this happen. Thank you David ! Dan from Michigan

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David and I tried multiple cases together dating back to 2006 where we achieved an acquittal for two brothers accused of breaking a man's nose. I have continued to see David over the years in the court rooms around Los Angeles. Having done two full jury trials with David, I can attest that he is a phenomenal trial attorney. He is smart, disciplined and always well prepared. His demeanor is always professional and earns him the respect of the bench and his opponent prosecutors. Someone facing criminal charges would not regret hiring David Canty for their case. He is capable of handling all crimes from DUIs to special circumstance homicides because of his breadth of experience. Whether a small misunderstanding or the most serious of charges, David's skill will allow his clients to achieve the best possible outcome on their cases."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"David is an outstanding attorney and an even better person. I worked on several complex and serious cases where David was representing the co-defendant. Here are my take aways from interacting with him and seeing him in action on a daily basis. He is always the most prepared attorney in the courtroom. He knows his facts and he knows the angles to push for his clients. He would always be 3 steps ahead of the prosecutor on most issues and this benefited his clients immensely. Patience and kindness: David is the type of lawyer to spend extra time with clients to make sure they understood everything and to make sure they felt like he's their advocate. If I were looking for an attorney to refer to a family member, he would be on top of a very short list."
