Less than 1 Star

Dave took my $2,500. He did not expunge my misdemeanor. Nothing came about my case with him. No return calls, no offer to refund me. Please keep your money & call someone else.

Wonderful attorney!

David is the best most helpful and down to earth attorney. He is not just an attorney, he’s a person who understands and is compassionate. He does everything he can to get the best possible outcome for who he is fighting for. I highly recommend David!

Be careful

I live in Hawaii and had an outstanding warrant in yolo county. Mr. Garland said he would take care of it. But first make a payment of 200 dollars with my card over the phone. I immediately made the payment. A couple days later he finally called me back saying he only works out of Sacramento. He said... he would still take care of it for an extra charge, or I could have a refund. I called the office that I sent the payment to and ask for a refund. They would not. The lady said I had to contact him directly. He finally returned my call and said he was unable to refund my card but he would mail me a check. It's been over a month now and no check. He also does not return my calls. Very shady person. Be careful.

Feeling relieved!..

To have someone actually care and not just out for money is a blessing and I count them all. Thanks for caring and helping.

Misdemeanor reduced to Infraction

David is not just a normal lawyer but also a great human being who provides you all the assistance you require at the time of need. He fought my case to bring it down to an infraction from a misdemeanor. On top of that he completely dismissed the 2nd infraction. He is very responsive in a timely mann...er with email or phone call and always ready to provide you legal advice for any kind of queries. I have no doubt he is one of the best lawyer around Sacramento who can take care of your legal issues with ease and make you feel very comfortable.I highly recommend this lawyer to anyone.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
