Certification of Rehabilitation

David was excellent in getting the job done! There were a couple of struggles for me, as well as a technicality in court but David worked with me all through the end. He did what he said he was going to do. Thank you.

God's times are perfect

Andres Hernandez. All work, dedication and time has its reward. for me it was a pleasure that david took my case. It was very fast, I did not expect it even in this quarantine. David always kept me up to date on my case. Thanks to a good man named Brian Keleman it is how I was able to contact Dav...id to work on my expungment. He recommended it to me. his work was great. I did not have the pleasure of meeting the lawyer David huffman in person, but I am grateful to him and may God continue to give him more wisdom and work to help people. I will hired him again

Phenomenal Service David!

David is one of a kind, he is super fast in his process and yet very efficient. I didn't pay much compared to the service that I received. Every time I asked David a question on the website or via email I get my response the same day. My situation was resolved in no time due to how professional he is.... Great service and wonderful business. Strongly recommended!

Got the job done

I would first like to say that they did exactly what I hired them to do. They got my felony reduced and expunged. And they do respond semi immediately. Unfortunately that’s the only good thing I can say about this law firm. The founding partner was who I worked with and did not feel respected by ...him. He was extremely rude, didn’t act like he cared about me, and made me feel as though he only does this for the fast money. When talking on the phone he comes off as though you are just another Joe Schmoe. I asked him for advice a few times on how to word things or to get information, he just comes off as if you are a bother and doesn’t care. With that being said I give this firm a 2 star rating. The lack of compassion really played a major role on my decision to write this review. If you are looking for a lawyer that doesn’t really seem to care about you but gets the job done this is the place for you. Lastly I want to say I am not writing this to hurt the firm. This is just my personal opinion based on my first hand experience with them.

He took care of EVERYTHING with as little stress to me as possible

Mr. David and his firm are absolutely AMAZING!! I signed up thinking this would be a long, drawn out and painful process. I just knew that I was in for a fight. Yet, Mr. David took care of every right feom the beginning. The hardest part was getting my paperwork to his office. I thought I would spend... years trying to gain my rights back. SMH NOPE. Mr. David did everything need so that once my case was over, all of my rights had been restored!! I am THRILLED with the service of this firm!!
