Speeding and Traffic Ticket 34%

Knowing who the officers are and how they respond to negotiating deals for non-moving violations with no points, is key to success in fighting traffic tickets. I am the only traffic and defense attorney located in Barstow.

Criminal Defense 33%

During my first six years I took appointments for indigent defense. For the last six years I've had my own practice. I have had success in winning jury trials as well as getting good deals on some tough cases. I consider myself very experience in criminal defense.

About 1/3 of my private practice is DUI defense. I consider myself very competent in this area, winning my share of suppression motions, dismissals and reductions.

Outstanding Service

Worked hard behind the scenes and reviewed my case in detail. Kept me informed on trial dates and hearing changes. Also boosted my moral and knowledge of the legal system. Case dismissed

Truly Satisfied

David was recommended to me through my sister, who manages accounts for attorneys. Based on his amazing reputation on AVVO, I decided to hire him. My pregnant fiancé and I were taking a trip to the Colorado River. She was having some pain, so I decided to drive. I was unlicensed at the time. We go...t pulled over for going 87 in a 65. The police officer decided to be as hard on us as he possibly could. He wrote me a speeding ticket, 87 in a 65. He also charged me with driving without a license, a misdemeanor. Last, but not least, he gave my pregnant fiancé a misdemeanor charge for "allowing an unlicensed driver to operate her vehicle". We hired Dave, and put full faith in the fact that we were in good hands. We left California, allowing Dave to represent us in court because we had already planned to move to Texas. Long before our original court date, we got a call from David, letting us know that my speeding ticket was dismissed, my girlfriend's charge was dismissed, and my misdemeanor charge was dropped to an infraction, leaving me with a small fine to pay and that's it. That is the absolute best outcome I could've predicted. I would recommend David Leicht to anyone. He really went the extra mile for us and was very honest throughout the whole process.

Real Desert Dog

I haven't needed an attorney in Barstow for about 20 years, but David's number was in my contact list from 30 years ago. So let's say I accidently called him. We had a misdemeanor traffic ticket to take care of. David made an appointment that fit my schedule and I drove in from Las Vegas. After i...ntroductions and a short story I retained his services. We never looked back! He answers his phone at all hours and on weekends too. He is pretty efficient for a small town attorney. I was actually surprised at the amount of activity in the Victorville Court System and was very glad we had hired local council instead of some hot shot from the LA Basin. Dream come true, he got us dismissed before our trial.

“Best Lawyer to Handle My Speeding Ticket!!”

I live in San Diego and took a trip to Arizona. On the way there I was stopped going “96”(supposedly) on a 75MPH zone in Barstow, CA. That night there were warning signs of high gusty winds, the car I was driving would not go over 80MPH without jerking. I knew I wanted to fight my ticket because ther...e was no way I was going that fast. My husband googled different lawyers in that area and they wanted way more than what the ticket would cost. He contacted David the day before my court date and thankfully David was able to attend. Such a short notice and he just jumped on it!!:)The price was extremely affordable and he was very informative. He never made my husband feel uncomfortable with any questions he asked. DAVID WON MY CASE! NO record of my ticket, NO points on my license, NO money to pay for the ticket, and NO traffic school to attend!!David emailed me the court minute order and I was FREE of stress. I highly recommend him. Very trustworthy man, I really appreciate him for what he did!

Ticket I got back in the 1800s actually 2008

I received a speeding back in 2008. I was doing over 100mph in a Benz. I forgot all about the ticket and I went to the DMV several times and it was never on my record. The cop that issued the ticket messed my name up completely. However, in December of 2014 the ticket finally came back to haunt me.... My license was suspended I had a warrant out for me and the ticket was almost a thousand dollars. I didn't have much money and it was Christmas time. David Leicht was very helpful and understanding. He worked with me on all the fees. I live in las Vegas he went and set up a trail date for me successfully. My license was no longer suspended and the warrant was lifted. My trail date was Jan 22 2015. He went to court with evidence that cop messed my name up and that's the "reason " I never appeared in court so the assessment fine for failure to appear was dismissed. The cop couldn't remember ANYTHING!! about my case the Judge DISMISSED the entire ticket. Thanks to David Leicht I have no points or fines. I totally recommend this man he's very sincere and will fight for you no matter. Thanks again David Leicht I totally appreciate you:))
