David Thomas Wallace

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. 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

I hired David to defend a contested restraining order that I had petitioned on an abusive person in my life, successfully. I had spoken with several offices prior to our initial phone call. Some wanted me to put down a substantial retainer before I even got to speak with one of their lawyers, some se...emed eager to have me pay a relatively inexpensive rate for a quick sale on a newer/inexperienced attorney, and some needed to charge me a few hundred for the initial consultation. A couple of others gave me a free consultation but it didnt seem that they had a niche in the particular type of restraining order I had petitioned. While I respect that there are myriad business models out there, David's appealed to me because his initial consultation was free to hear me out (before I knew that I wanted to hire him), he immediately spoke with competence and wisdom regarding the particulars of my case, and his "flat fee" model was unique and attractive. His price seemed fair in the end (I could have spent less, I could have spent more) but was well justified by his experience. The fact that this case may have been dragged out into additional hours was eased by me knowing that I would never be charged for anything extra regardless of how long it took. It is my understanding that many attorneys will nickel and dime you to hire them for additional "surprise" hours and may even lie/pressure you about the false need for it, but David (who is aware of the ill-perception of attorney practices) found a creative flat-fee solution to control for this. The flat-fee structure means that he sees the job through to the end regardless of how long it takes. You know that one honest mechanic that you recommend to all of your peers because it seems that every other one out there has a history of trying to sell you extra services that you didnt need but were naive about? Well David can well be compared to that honest mechanic but for the world of lawyers. He seemed to have had an "indie" vibe to him as opposed to the mainstream giant law office lawyers I had interviewed prior to. Regardless, he was able to be confrontational to my opponent as I needed him to be and very knowledgeable. Its clear that even though I strongly considered being self-represented (which David even suggested that I reasonably could and didnt *need* to hire anyone), my case was stronger because I had him fighting it for me. The numerous amounts of evidence I had were more organized and presented to a stronger effect much to the chagrin of my opponent. I'll say it again: his price structure and business model give him more integrity than other lawyers since it removes the incentive for billing for additional "surprise" hours. There isnt any real way for him to take advantage of his clients this way and I think that that's worth its weight on its own.

He personally called me back the next business day and volunteered his time to review my case. I was impressed with his knowledge. My case is a very uncommon firearms case in which he knew everything about. Strongly recommend. Most lawyers have to "get back to you". Makes me wonder what they lear...ned in school. Not this guy.
