David Wallace the “Flat‑fee Fighter who got my felony case DISMISSED!!”

David Wallace is the kind of defense lawyer you hope exists but rarely actually find. I came to him facing three serious felony charges and a DA who seemed determined to make an example out of me, and David stood between me and that outcome for almost a year. Instead of the usual open‑ended billable... hours, he offered a very reasonable flat rate and explained that a skilled attorney should know what a solid defense will take, which instantly reduced a lot of financial stress. Throughout multiple court dates he was prepared, responsive, and brutally honest about both the risks and the path to winning, while still being remarkably human and compassionate. He answered calls, returned messages, and made sure I understood every step we were taking. In the end, he delivered the only result that really matters: he called me personally to say, “We win—case dismissed.” If you’re looking at criminal charges and want a lawyer who actually fights for you instead of just running the money meter, David “Law Dawg” Wallace is the one you want in your corner! If you don’t like the sound of that … have fun in jail … you ,do you .

Horrific experience. Keep looking for an eligible attorney who can walk the talk.

Horrific experience. Unprofessional. Sketchy court attire. No trim to facial hair. Appeared hung over. All very disrespectful to the judge, myself and the courthouse. Could not perform in the courtroom. Was not allowed to tell my story or how the case got to a hearing. Before the hearing I quest...ioned his over optimism. Perhaps his over optimism prevented him from preparing my case, or preparing my witnesses. Did not take 1% of my case seriously. He also reported to me how he just lost two cases as we were walking into hearing. After the hearing he gave me advice that would have put me in jail!!! I'm glad I did not take his advice. Kid you not I would have been better off alone in the hearing to present my case. Wallace did not provide me with the written judgement, I had to chase. And I had to inform Wallace the judgement was incorrect which kept me without to access to my home that I own for 44 days. I had to request him to file a motion. I mean, when I say nightmare ... I mean true nightmare thick with stress. Imagine paying thousands of dollars to not be well represented and then to lead him to file a motion to correct. These words are not because of the negative outcome with a permanent order. These words offer caution to be very skeptical of this 'attorney' as he can't walk the talk. Wallace was unable to represent me (and others as he himself stated) in court. Stay away if you want someone competent and professional to fight, stand, even represent you in a court of law. At least you'll have a chance far from David Wallace
