About David
Biography
I have 15 years experience as an attorney representing clients in difficult cases.
I began my career working with life term prisoners seeking parole. Then, I transitioned into a large criminal defense firm where I drafted motions, tried cases, and argued in the court of appeal. Although successful at the law firm, I started my own law practice to provide a detailed focus on each of my client's cases.
At the Law Office of David Reagan, I earned a strong local reputation for helping clients expunge convictions, reduce felonies, and seal arrest records. Some of my unique clean record cases include enforcing plea agreements, obtaining certificates of rehabilitation, and arguing in the California Supreme Court. As a court appointed attorney, I defended criminal charges and negotiated plea deals or dismissals. Simultaneously, I represented clients in the federal district courts and in the California Court of appeal, typically in habeas corpus petitions for long sentences. In People v. Lee, the court of appeal reversed my client's first degree murder conviction and he was released decades earlier than his original sentence.
My current position is with Abramson Labor Group. I handle plaintiff's employment law cases, building rapport with clients and obtaining significant settlements. I am a top performer and team player.

David was honest and fair. He made getting my DUI expunged a breeze. He was always available to answer any questions and I would refer him to anyone needing his type of services.

Excellent results and GREAT customer service!
Mr. Reagan got me a dismissal on a DUI case that was complex, with multiple issues, where my chances were marginal. He was able to highlight the strength of my hard work and go the job done!

A rare breed of lawyer, and and excellent one
This review is long overdue and for that I must apologize. As I was outside the country, residing in Canada, I needed someone reliable and personable. Mr. Reagan was both. Mr. Reagan was by far the most reasonable in terms of fees, working outside of normal business hours and going above and be...
