Don't look any further. I can't imagine a better lawer.
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.
David Lehr not only represented me thoroughly, effectively and honestly but he also gave great thought, concern and insight to my needs. He handled my affairs promptly and I found success in all areas of his dealings. I could not have had a better lawyer. I am forever greatful.
I only handle criminal defense cases. From DUI to drugs, simple battery to homicide, and every other type of case in between. I am a criminal trial attorney with about 160+ jury trials completed as of January 2021.
Ventura and Santa Barbara DUI defense for first time, and no record clients, to felony DUI crashes involving death and serious bodily injury clients. I also have extensive experience with both drug and alcohol DUI cases.
Drug sales and possession for sales of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl. THC sales cases are almost entirely gone now with recent changes in the law. I have also helped hundreds of clients find go treatment programs.
One of the worst crimes to be accused of whether the client is guilty or falsely accused. Many cases end up in trial and experience is essential. Don't talk to the cops without me by your side.
Whether domestic violence or stranger on stranger violence, I have handled most types of violent cases. The penalties get substantial. I help with gangs, guns, and robberies also.
I can help you get your record cleaned up after you are finished with the "live" part of the court case. Not every case can be expunged, but we can talk about your case and the charges that you want to expunge.
Don't look any further. I can't imagine a better lawer.

You have found your lawyer!
Do yourself a favor and stop looking now! You have found the attorney you are looking for. David was a no brainer decision from the word go. He actually takes the time to listen to you and make you feel like you matter. He always responded promptly and always made me feel like my situation mattered.

Hands down the best attorney in Ventura County
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.

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.
Response from David LehrMay 1, 2017
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!

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.

Get the best for your future
It's unusual to find a combination of dedication, knowledge, support and sincere care as Mr. Lehr and his staff. They do what they do best. Law with results. My son and our family are fortunate to have had you on our side when bad decisions were made.
Thank you David and Rachel.

Lehr Law ... Ventura Co. Professionals
My life for the last 30yrs was shadowed by a Felony Violation of Probation Warrant in Ventura Co. With the probation revoked many years ago I faced a certain 3yr. suspended state prison sentence. Over the years,living on the east coast, I retained two separate prominate Ventura Co. attornies. Each reviewed the cases and concluded that the only option I had was to come back and plead for mercy. Last October I hired David Lehr .Today after his lengthy negotiations with the judge, probation and D. A.s office I appeared for the the first time in thirty years on these cases......the result -------- 1 yr. probation & no jail. Thank You David, Rachel & staff....you gave me my life back. PAUL

NOT YOUR AVERAGE LAWYER
This is a man of integrity, intelligence and honor. Always responsive and willing to help me understand things that are hard to understand. And he stepped up in a manner that protected my family and me. I do recommend him all day.

Case Dismissed!
David let us know exactly what to expect with our case. He knew what we wanted and what we were willing to accept. We got the best outcome and I owe it all to him. I would recommend him to anybody that needed a criminal lawyer.

Great Hands
David was very responsive, professional and didn't blow smoke ... ... ... to get more fees, he managed to get my DUI case dismissed, for 5K, that is priceless in this county. Having spent 500K on lawyers formy defense against the SEC, Feds and the US Justice Department, David's help was a breath of fresh air..
You will be happy you retained him.

When experience and compassion count!
My family contacted Mr. Lehr from out of state and asked if he would look at my case.
From that first consultation in the interview room at the county jail David's jovial personality and professional manner set me at ease. But the most important aspect of who David really is as a person is his compassion for others.
Do to my circumstances and not being a resident of Ventura when I was released from the county facility at 11:30 p.m. David arrived shortly after and drove me to a near by hotel so I didn't have to walk the streets that night.
I can't say enough about the staff at David's office from the moment I walked thru the front door and with each phone call I make I truly feel respected.
Throughout the court proceedings David has always updated and would let me know precisely what was going on. His mannerism in the courtroom is remarkable. I do highly recommend David Lehr and his staff I am very thankful for the services.
