110% Agree with so many others! An honest lawyer you can trust!
I read the other reviews & cannot agree more with all but one! David is a superb attorney. Years ago as a public defender he stuck with my husband on a case that went on for two years! My husband was charged with a co-defendant to whom he was giving a ride home as they lived near eachother. His car was unlawfully searched when the passenger lied about his probation status and the passenger (unknowingly to my husband) had drugs with him and he threw them in the backseat of the car! The case took two long years of going back to court over & over - the co-defendant kept not showing up. When he finally did all charges were dismissed against my husband, the other guy did some time as he should, but the fact that he stood by my husband for that long is the sign of not only a great attorney but a good person.
A couple years later we were in need of his assistance again through no fault of our own (its a crazy long story but the charges were felonies! My husband wasn't the smartest kid when he was in his 20's & his priors (that were 20 yrs ago!!) were always why the DA seemed to want to push this case despite not having evidence - bc there literally wasn't any - except the statement of one person who - from the outset told my husband's mother that she thought he was stealing from her when he was helping her move! It was insane!). We immediately thought to look up David to see where he was now practicing. He was the only lawyer Id ever seen who would actually listen & not assume you were just guilty before being proven innocent.
This was the first time I had the chance to interact with David, though I'd seen him in court many (too many times) He listens to you, is a genuinely nice man, understanding and he will stick with you & fight for you no matter what! He will believe in you and he is great at his job - our case was dismissed & the court apologized to my husband - which was HUGE for him.
I highly recommend retaining his services esp if you want an attorney who will treat you with respect and he's also a very honest man! I cant say enough wonderful things about him! If we are ever in need of an attorney in the future. He's the ONLY attorney I would ever call!!
Thank you David for being so good to us & fighting for us! We will never forget it & always appreciate it!!
Dave has been fighting my case for two years. The district attorney was set on hanging me and would not budge. Right before trial the d.a. dismissed my case. Although she wants to refile, as I sit here right now I have nothing over my head and it feels good. No more harassment from the sheriff or the d.a... thank you Dave. I truely needed to remember what free was.

Best Attorney in Sonora
David did a great job getting my case dismissed despite the overzealous advocacy of the Tuolumne County District Attorney's Office. He's honest, professional and was up front about his legal fees. I highly recommend the legal services of Mr. David Beyersdorf. There are a ton of criminal defense attorneys in Sonora, but if you want the best and you want to win...call David, period.

i take back my initial remark
A couple of months ago I posted that Mr.Beyersdorf wasn't responding to mine or my boyfriends request to speak with him (my boyfriend is his incarcerated client). Since then I have spoken with him and so has my boyfriend and we are very happy with his work he has put a lot off time amd effort into our case and we couldn't be more happy. Thank you David Beyersdorf.

An Honest Lawyer....Who Knew?
I was injured in a car accident and used David's services. He explained the whole process and made sure I was comfortable with the settlement. It really seemed like he cared about me and my family. I'll go back to David if I need another lawyer in the future.

Kick Ass!
I got charged with a felony. Dave worked with the DA and the DA offered to reduce it to a misdemenor. Dave said not to plea and to let him keep fighting it. The day before the next hearing Dave called me and told me that the case was getting dismissed. I don't know what you did, dave but THANK YOU!!

Case Dismissed!
I got charged with domestic violence when my girlfriend lied to the police. Dave got the case dismissed. The public defender wanted me to plead guilty!

Thanks for the comment. I am glad that I was able to get the positive result that you deserved!

Not afraid to go to trial
He defended me when the DA and public defender tried to force me into a deal. Dave was the only one who actually listened to my side, and we won.

David is a man of integrity, patience, and thoroughness. He is a mild-mannered man who always handles each client with respect but with a sharp, quick-thinking intellect that can forcefully and effectively advance the best evidence and arguments on his client's behalf.

Good Attorney
I went to David's office for my car accident. They negotiated with my insurance company and the chiropractor so that my bills were cut. We settled my case, all bills were paid, and I walked away with cash for my pain and suffering. They only charge 25%. They do a good job.

VERY honest and trustworthy
I only have this to say. David is a very friendly person and does not talk to you like you are lower then him. I never trusted lawyers before.

Injury Case
I had David Beyersdorf take care of my injury claim from a car accident I was in last year. He was very honest. He made sure that everything was really clear for me. He has people in the office who speak my language Hmong. I was very happy with the settlement I received. His percentage is lower then other lawyers too.

Don’t believe all the 5 star reviews!
Beyersdorf charged $6000 up front and left us believing he could possibly get charged dismissed. He did VERY little work for what he charged and ended up with a reduced plea but still rotten outcomes. He’s incredibly nice but I don’t think he put any real effort into the case and collected an outrageous sum for what he actually did. Very disappointed.

Retainer Not Returned
I retained Mr Beyersdorf in March of 2019. The retainer amount was $2,100. In our county, if a case is not prosecuted in 365days, it is automatically dismissed. SMy case was dismissed, after a year, and snce my case was never prosecuted, the attorney did absolutely nothing to deserve even $1, not to mention $2,100.
Yet and still, this attorney kept, and did not return my retainer. I'm 71 and living on a fixed income. The $2,100 is hugely important to me.
