"I was assigned to the public defender's central office several years ago when David was hired on. Right away, I could tell he would be one of the office's star attorneys. I was right. He had extensive trial experience before he was even hired by the public defender's, so he really hit the ground running. I have seen him litigate several trials, and the jurors were absolutely charmed by his wit and down-to-earth personality. He is a natural. I can honestly say he was one of the very best trial attorneys in the office, and I can only imagine what years of extensive experience handling serious felony cases has done to sharpen his skills. Any defendant who lands David as their public defender should feel like they won the lottery. And he's just a nice human being in general. I hope to chat with him in court soon."
