Review David Lehr

Don't look any further. I can't imagine a better lawer.

Posted by

David Lehr represented me in a horrific case of false accusations. After reviewing few different lawyers I decided to go with him for several reasons. Other lawyers to me sounded like a used car salesman during the consultation yet David was very professional, direct, informative and no BS. He has a great reputation. I spoke with a LOT of other individuals who have had legal troubles, David Lehr was the most often recommended Lawyer and he has an excelent track record. During the entire ordeal David always kept me updated and let me know exactly what was going on. I never felt like I was being told what I wanted to hear. His performance in the courtroom is very impressive. I highly recommend David Lehr and am very thankful for the services.

Hands down the best attorney in Ventura County

Posted by

After being charged with 3 felonies and a misdemeanor, my family hired David to represent me. Since this was my diet one being in trouble with the law I was scared of the repercussions that cone with the charges I had against me. David stayed on my case and fought for me for 2.5 years. The outcome was nothing short of incredible. He was able to work with the DA to get my charges reduced to two misdemeanors which will be expunged at the end of my probation. I couldn’t be happier with the results of the case. I even spoke with other highly reviewed attorneys in the area to get a second opinion on my case. Both came to the conclusion that I would have atleast 1 felony and would most likely have to do a few months in jail. The outcome he was able to get me was beyond what I had expected. He has great relationships with everyone in the court, from the corrections officers to the DA’s to the judges, he is well liked and respected by everyone. If you are in trouble in Ventura County I wouldn’t hesitate giving his office a call. He made time for me any time I had questions and even gave me his personal number to reach him if anything ever came up or to get updates on the status of my case. He truly is a great attorney and will fight tooth and nail for you to get the best outcome possible.

I was in deep trouble

Posted by

I was arrested for a huge ammount of illegal fireworks, explosives, illegal assault rifle, and several other things. David was recommended to me by to friends of mine... $5000 later, i only ended up with 60 days jail time and a small fine!! I would hire David again and recommend him to anyone needing an honest, great lawyer!! Thank you David!!

Recommended without reservation.

My son was working with another attorney and his case was just plain going in the wrong direction. I got him in touch with David Lehr and had David take over the case. David was able to dig into it and get things sorted out and going in the right direction again. What started as a felony with certain jail time coming was turned completely around and the end result was the charges got reduced to an infraction that included only a very small fine. I would not hesitate to recommend David Lehr to anyone that could benefit from his services.

Very Satisfied

Outstanding trustworthy lawyer 5.0 stars David is an immensely skilled lawyer. He acts with great integrity and diligence. He tends to be somewhat pessimistic in his assessments, which is helpful. I find that I can thoroughly rely on his advice and judgment. I would enthusiastically recommend David in criminal defense.

David Lehr's response: Thanks Greg! As far as "somewhat pessimistic" is concerned - - - I believe that too many attorneys promise more than they can deliver. I prefer to give best and worst cast options. I plan for the worst and work to obtain the best possible outcome!

Excellent

Very satisfied customer!

Recently, I required the services of a defense attorney. David was recommended to me. Throughout the whole process, David was supportive and positive. His preparation was thorough. He kept me in the loop and always made time for me when I had a question. In the end, my case was dismissed without going to trial. His rates were very reasonable.

I've known David for several years, and worked with him in Inns of Court. I can't think of a better way to put it than this--David is one of the first people I would call if I or a family member were charged with a serious crime.
