"I recommended attorney David Stanley Marshall of The Marshall Defense Firm to a prominent professional client facing significant allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault, and potential child abuse. Based on the seriousness of the accusations leveled against my client in multiple separate but related civil cases, I wanted to recommend a specialty defense firm for any related criminal work. I am so glad I did, as my personal interactions with Mr. Marshall and his Firm matched the positive experience reported back to me by my client. Overall, Mr. Marshall and his Firm conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism and were truly a pleasure to work with. I would strongly recommend Mr. Marshall and his team again."

"In my prior career as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in the specialty area of child sexual and physical abuse, I had the opportunity to work opposite David. He was without a doubt among the best prepared defense attorneys I went up against. While it is important to hire an attorney that will fight hard for you, fight is not enough. The fight must be smart, focused, respectful, and persuasive. David's fight is each of these things. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a child abuse or sex crimes defense attorney in greater Seattle."

"I heartily endorse David. I referred a good client of mine to him. The matter was quite complex in that it required an understanding of my client and his deficits and of our unique community. David did an outstanding job, not only understanding them but used them to obtain an excellent job for my client. I would not hesitate to refer to him again."

"I met David Marshall at the National Child Abuse Defense Conference in Las Vegas several years ago. David and I were about to begin work on a sex abuse case together, and he was also attending the conference. I learned that he didn’t just attend the conference; more than once he has been on the faculty. The case went to trial twice, and gave me an excellent view of David’s approach, preparation, and skills. From the beginning he was careful and thorough. He looked at the case from every angle, and his preparation was meticulous. In court David was excellent. Working with him was much like taking a class; I found myself taking notes on approaches and tactics I wanted to use myself. At all times he was professional and a gentleman."

In numerous occasions, I have had the privilege and the honor to see David prepare for his cases during focus group sessions with a team of skilled trial lawyers. He has and continues to impress me with his high standards and resolve to battle for his clients. David is the kind of person and attorney I want on my side."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. In 2005, I was the chair of a continuing legal education program sponsored by the Washington Association for Criminal Defense Lawyers. I selected David Marshall to speak on the recent changes to the Special Sexual Offender Sentencing Alternative because he was recognized as a noted authority on sexual offenses. Unlike some of the other speakers, David showed up with an organized, well-prepared talk. He received high ratings from the lawyers who attended the program."
