"A Hastings law graduate with 24 years practicing criminal law is what we refer to as experienced. David's knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions here. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! They are the true test of an attorneys worth to their clients. Endorsements from peer attorneys are also outstanding. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him."

"David Blair is aggressive, yet honest. He has handled many different types of felony and misdemeanor matters, and he also has experience with forfeiture cases. David is dependable and fair with his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer who performed nothing short of a miracle for a client of mine by successfully challenging a conviction on the basis of a failed Tahl Waiver. I cannot say enough about David's work on this matter. He was able to investigate and thoroughly present the facts so that the Judge and DA were in agreement. This led to my being able, in turn, to be successful on my client's behalf. My client and I heartily thank him for his efforts."
"David is professional, insightful and calming. I pray that I never need a criminal defense attorney, but, if I did, I'd sleep easier knowing that David was on my case."
"David is an amazing Lawyer! His commitment to his clients is endless, his efforts and knowledge of the law are priceless and his passion for our work is truly inspiring..... If you are looking for an Attorney and David is available to take your case, consider yourself lucky and don't think twice about making him part of your team!"
