Criminal defense case

I hired David for a case that strained my personal and professional life greatly, David's professionalism and exceedingly swift approach coupled with an absolute control of the courtroom not only commanded a very positive outcome of the case itself, but allowed me to continue my work without risk to ...my security clearance or family.

Divorce

I hired david for a divorce in cowlitz county he did nothing but tell me we will fight for it in the end. I got to sit beside david in court and listen to the judge say the paperwork that got turned in couldnt be use because it was done wrong and was not filed correctly at the court house and even s...aid he that i had no attorney and was represented by myself so i thought david would try to make it right and prove himself he did nothing except say we can fight for it in the end. He was able to right up a parent plan and turned it in before running it by me first. His plan gave me less time with my kid and agreed to give her Christmas every yr when i found out about it i told him i would have never agreed to it and he needs to stop it. Again he said it temporary we will fight to change it in the end and its already been sent to opposing ATTORNEY and cant be stopped. I was at the court house on the Phone with Gal and got it stopped. David emailed opposing ATTORNEY telling her he was sorry we.didnt agree than told me we could have fought for your time back in the end. I started thinking why give up my time now to fight for it back i have been fighting for her work schedule for 4 months never got it been lock out of my shop that has tools 4wheeler chainsaws and watched her family move junk in and take advantage of it but again david would say make a list and we will fight for it in the end. He did fight at the first of the month wanted his money every day he tex email untill he got it. Payed $9500 got nothing to show for it and month and a half later he still cant turn his paper work in to get off the case has not been able to give me a bill to show me what cost me $9500 and i got nothing except more questions now than in the bevaininh

Assertive Professional

David represented me in getting sole custody of my children and visitation with their abusive father ceased immediately. David knew it was a safety issue and advised me not just as my lawyer but as a parent to keep my children safe. He knows the ins and outs of the law and different strategies that c...an be used. He’s a pit bull in the courtroom but also a warm and caring person that put the needs of my children first and foremost.

Hired David Arganian in Federal Court case

David Arganian is honest with great knowledge of Criminal Justice. He was highly recommended from another client that hired him in a federal case and had great results. I was facing 84 to 112 months in federal prison for a conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. I hired david afte...r having a consultation with him. He explained the terms of the case and how the Federal system works to me so I understood. I was scared if I did not plead out at the time the government would place a mandatory sentence of 5 years or 10 years. My family and i are very pleased with hiring David Arganian with results of no minimum sentence. I received less than 5 years with an extended 6 weeks to self surrender. David also helped me with other issues of traffic violations, appeals with department of licensing . And currently helping with divorce matters . David's representation has proven he cares and will fight for satisfaction for my family and I.

Blatant Thievery

Retained him for a criminal case; spoke to me ONCE, 3 months later he had done absolutely nothing. I called him and advised him that I was seeking alternate counsel due to an absolute lack of effort on his part and a concomitant complete lack of faith in his abilities. I asked him how much of our ret...ainer was left, and was advised that $1200.00 of our retainer was unspent. I demanded that he cease and desist all efforts on my case and advised him that I wished my monies returned. I called him the next week to arrange a meeting to recover my monies, and was told that he had "spent the remaining money making copies of everything on my case to make it easier for my next attorney." This is blatantly violative of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and ELC

I believe this statement to be completely false. I did not represent anyone with that set of facts the person outlines in their ‘review.’ I do not believe this person was ever a client of mine.
