David Elliott Wise

I FACED 6 Felonies, 25 – 30 years A FREE MAN TODAY My case was about as serious as they get. People of the State of California vs. H.C. aka (rick) I faced 6 felonies including 4 sex offenses; a total exposure of 25-30 years in state prison as a sex offender. At my age, 53, that was... virtually a life sentence. On top of that, I faced lifetime registration as a sex offender. It does not get much worse than that. My life was in David Wise’s hands and I am a free man today because Mr. Wise, through his dedication, legal expertise, unparalleled tenacity and attention to detail, was able to prove to the jury that I was innocent. At trial, the district attorney added lesser charges, effectively giving the jury approximately 15 different ways to convict me instead of just 6. Faced with this giant mountain of a case that had been damagingly magnified and exaggerated by the District Attorney, San Francisco Police Department and the media, Mr. David Wise was able to strategically break down its components and bring that giant to a full collapse in true ”David and Goliath” fashion. Mr. Wise is also well-versed and equipped to discuss DNA scientific subject matter extensively with the experts at a scholarly level. He has a thorough knowledge of the testing processes and procedures and did not allow the experts to pull the wool over his eyes. He helped me weigh the pros and cons to accepting a plea bargain, without undue pressure, and allowed me to make the final decision to proceed to trial. His focus and aim were precision-calibrated. The distorted illusion that had been built up by the police and the media was surgically disintegrated by him in such a systematic way so that in the end, the jury only saw what Mr. Wise chiseled down to the true merits of the case. A unanimous verdict of NOT GUILTY on all counts was reached by the jury after only two days of deliberation. It does not get any better than that. I owe Mr. Wise my life. He is a true litigator; a craftsman of his profession. He is THE lawyer you want to fight for you. If you want the BEST, hire David Wise.
