David G Arganian

David was assigned to two of my cases while working as a public defender in OR. At first I was representing myself because I was worried that a PD would not fight as hard as I would. I never had to worry about that. In both cases he went above and beyond using his experience and knowledge of the l...aw to have them both dismissed. In one case he outsourced a PI to contact multiple charachter witnesses who testified against the plantiff. It felt like having a pack of dogs defending me from harm with a broken leg in the woods. He fought harder than I could have alone and significantly increased the efficiency and effectiveness of my defense. His professionalism, dedication, punctuality, and direct nature were in line with what I would expect if I paid a lawyer 20 grand. I could not have asked more of him. I am very grateful that he was appointed to my cases.

David Arginian represented me in court recently and we won! David is confident and direct, knowledgeable and insightful. He listened to all my concerns and kept me completely informed throughout the legal process. He was aggressive in court and held the prosecution accountable for having no e...vidence to back their claims. David kept a record of all my compiled personal evidence, found an expert witness for my defense and at the end of the day, had all my charges dropped and we won the case! I can’t thank this man enough for his commitment to helping me through this hard time in my life and for exceeding all my expectations. -Andrew S. [ DUI CASE ]

I was involved in a rather unusual DUI case where I was unjustly arrested in front of my home. I was rather upset, as one would be when being wrongly arrested. My behavior during the arrest was used against me to paint an inaccurate perception of me. I eagerly wanted to prove my case but financially ...wouldn't be able to afford the longevity of the attorney fees. The court appointed Mr. Arganian to my case and after the first meeting with him I was immediately greeted with professionalism, understanding, and an eagerness that matched mine in wanting to prove my case. I left his office confident in his knowledge of the law, especially pertaining to DUI cases, how the court system works, along with the way he carries himself. Over the course of my trial my confidence/trust in Mr. Arganian grew. He is very relaxed and comfortable in the courtroom. Nothing, during my almost 2 year long case, took Him by surprise, and in fact, he was able to address key factors and points that we hadn't previously discussed prior to the trial, on the fly! Mr. Arganian represented me and my case as flawless as humanly possible and I cannot be more grateful for his level of knowledge and the ability to put it into practice effectively. I won my trial, and was aquited of 2 charges that would have affected my life greatly. If I had to point out a flaw, as insignificant as it is, I would say Mr. Arganian can be blunt or impatient for lack of a better term. I believe this is because of the nature of the occupation, his knowledge of the court system and law, and the multitude of clients he represents. And believe me I'd rather have a straight to the point, blunt, no "beat around the bush" kind of person to represent me and hold frame in a courtroom setting than the latter. Of course I don't plan on any future court dealings, but I can whole-heartedly say I will seek this Gentleman out to represent me if the situation arises. Thank you, David, for your knowledge, work ethic, consistency, proffessionalism, and most of all, your time! I wish you the best! -Alexander Moe

As a new attorney, practicing law in Newport, Oregon; David Arganian was appointed as my public defender in my DUII case. I have to admit I was very apprehensive at first, due to the factors of my case and how the court system operates in Lincoln County. But what a refreshing change from the norm. He... actually listened intently as I gave him the details of my case, and allowed me to ask questions about how things were handled and if my rights were violated. He was able to explain in great detail how this could affect my future and felt we had a decent chance of winning the case if I decided to request a trial. So i did, under his advice request a hearing trial. To my amazement, he was able to show the DA, how it was in everyone's best interest to dismiss all charges based on how the events unfolded the night of my arrest. David is an knowledgable and ambitious attorney, who's not afraid to take a stand on his clients.behalf. He answered all my questions in a way, I could easily understand, and did not prejudge me based on my file, or my charges. It was truly a great experience working with Mr. Arganian and if I ever need the service, in the future, he definitely will be my first call. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.
