Best Court Appointed Attorney!

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

Duii dilemma dismissed!

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.

Family Law/ Custody

I was going through a very difficult time and he was very sensitive and understanding regarding my circumstances. He went above and beyond in my case. He has high attention to details, and his thoroughness and great follow through showed all the way to the end. He is genuine and caring, and I truly a...m grateful for all the hard work he put forth for me and my daughter. David's knowledge of the law and courts helped reassure me that I was in good hands and I was very happy with the outcome.

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.
