Hope when all felt lost

When my 13 year old son was accused of a serious sex crime we were scared and didn't know where to turn. I searched on the internet for an attorney that specialized in the falsely accused and found David Marshall. I filled out some information on his website and did not expect to get a response ove...r the weekend. Within a couple of hours David called. David was very compassionate and explained things in detail and wanted to meet my son as soon as possible. Even though this entire process took a year and a half to its conclusion David never gave up. David would call and talk to explain things to my son and would call him in the evening or weekends. David's thoroughness and attention to detail was evident when we went to court. Even though it was a stressful time watching him in court was amazing. David was injured prior to our court date and he was the epitome of professionalism and did not want to delay court for my son and persevered anyway. I also can't forget how wonderful Alexei and Tracey are. They always made time for us and worked hard to fight for my son. Words can not express how much we admire, respect and appreciate David and his team. We hope never to need his services again but know where they are if we do. David gave my sons life back and now he has a future to look forward to.

We were glad to be able to protect Sabrina's son's future from the damage a conviction for a sex offense could have done it. Both Sabrina and her son gave us all the help we could want, every step of the way.

Exceptional experience

The Marshall Defense Firm was exceptional with our case. We’ve never experienced a more professional team of attorneys. I highly recommend David for any case.

Hope For My Son

Can you recall a time of great joy in your life when you have had to step back, embrace the moment, and take it all in? Well, that was exactly what I experienced when I received David’s message about the hopeful news in my son’s case! God is in the business of restoration. There are individuals... and situations that the world is quick to call "lost people" and "last chances." However, "God heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalms 147:3), "gives us beauty for ashes "(Isaiah 61:3), and "proclaims liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners" (Isaiah 61:1). My son and I appreciate the concern David and his colleagues have shown us, and we are grateful for their diligence to search every avenue and seek the truth in my son’s case.

Faith is well named. As her Scripture passages above show, she has a lot of faith. Rarely has anyone who has suffered so much shown us so much joy. She knows how to look beyond the pain life brings to see that life is a great gift to all of us.

A Light in the Darkness

On a beautiful Thursday afternoon last spring, I went about my usual business, when, suddenly, one knock at my door would change the entire direction of my life. It was CPS. The accusations were insanely false and part of a whole different battle; however, CPS means business. Their job is to protect ...your kids and when they show up at your door with a report that you may be a risk to them, it's terrifying. I was so lucky to happenstance upon David Marshall. I did a Google search for CPS lawyers and THANKFULLY David answered - while CPS stood waiting on my front porch. I could barely breathe, but I needed to know my rights, as my child's life was at stake. David answered my questions and concerns and gave me choices on the spot. During the investigation David protected my child better than I could. My voice for what she needed was stripped away by false accusations. David stepped in where I couldn't and fought to have her needs respected OR no deal! He valiantly and fearlessly advocated for her every need and never cowered to push back from CPS. My daughter has autism and other special needs and David's protection of her saved her undue stress, regression, and trauma. I don't have words in my vocabulary strong or eloquent enough to express my gratitude to this angel of a man. If you are lucky enough to work with David, you, too, will see that he will be a light for you in a very dark situation. During this time in my life, which was rampant with terror; fear; and helplessness, the only peace and power I felt in it all was knowing that David had my child's back. My only complaint is that he's not a divorce attorney as well.

Leslie was also a fierce advocate for her daughter. We made a good team!

Sincere, caring and extremely knowledgable

I was referred to David Marshall by a supreme court judge. Mr. Marshall returned my call immediately and even arranged to meet with me at his office in the evening to accommodate my schedule. He listened to me with complete care and compassion; I felt at ease at his presence as I knew that I was in ...very good hands indeed. His experience in a case like mine was undeniable as he explained to me about the process. I found him very trustworthy and non-judgmental. He kept in touch me through out the process and wanted to see how I was doing. He always replied to my email and phone messages very promptly. He never made me feel rushed. I was not just a "case" for him. I believe that he truly cares about life and he will do his best to give you the support you need to get your life back.
