Three counts of ADW DISMISSED!!?

Attorney David Wohl is the best in business!!! I’m writing this in the parking lot of the courthouse in which he helped me get 3 counts of ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON dismissed!!!! Today is a great day!!! It always will be a great day if you have David on your team. His professionalism and knowledge... of the law is out of this world. Whenever he walks in a courtroom he is highly respected and revered by the other attorneys. He helped me with a life changing and altering case that I was without a doubt innocent of and I’m so grateful I made the investment into retaining him! Thank you so much Mr. Wohl.

Fixed my issue on the first call.

David called me for a consult and after reviewing my case, figured out why I was denied my SENTRI PASS. It was a $270 fine! I will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to get results. Keep in mind, my case fine was from 2006. Call was just 15 minutes! Thanks David!

Riverside County’s Best Defense Attorney

Dave Wohl is a superb Defense Attorney who is well known within the Riverside Criminal Court system. This is very important for any defendant who is seeking a defense attorney who gets realistic results, in navigating through a strict Riverside Criminal court system. He met our family’s expectations..., of getting our loved one released from custody, with realistic and attainable conditions. I highly recommend at least an initial consultation with Dave, before making any decision regarding a criminal case in Riverside county. He is truly doing the Lord's work!

First Class Service With Results

I was prevented from purchasing a firearm due to a felony on my record from 20 years ago for possession of marijuana. I contacted Attorney David Wohl and after a few phone calls, I hired him and he got my case dismissed. Mr. Wohl did exactly what he said he would and always answered or returned ...calls. He did not bill me for calls and kept to the agreed price. Mr Wohl provides first-class service and has extensive expertise in practicing law. I highly recommend Attorney David Wohl.

Posted by anonymous | December 03, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Domestic violence case

Attorney David Wohl represented me in a domestic violence case that held charges of two felonies at the time of filing. David did a great job in court and communicating with the DA and got my entire case dismissed with no charges. He did a great job.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
