The best lawyer and a great person

In an industry that’s become about making money and getting the most social media followers, Dave is one of a handful of lawyers who’s main goal is to protect people who are in a vulnerable position and try to attain justice for them. He went to the ends of the earth to help me and I’ll be grateful t...o him for the rest of my life. I knew when I met him that he was special and always knew he would protect me and get me the best possible result. If you want someone who’s going to defend you like Perry Mason or matlock, he’s your guy. Most lawyers now are just litigators but Dave is a brawler and he is a nerd who knows the law. He is one of the people I respect and admire the most that I’ve ever met.

Thank you so much, David!

My son was charged with a felony. We are from out of town and we did not know what to do. So I hired David to handle my son’s case. His wisdom, empathy, and efforts not only eased my mind but brought us through. The charges were dropped! My son is free! He kept his job! My son is thriving toda...y! No words can truly express my gratitude.

Great Attorney!

He took my case with no issues. He had the charge deferred and I had a great experience, all things considered!

Wonderful Attorney

We are extremely happy that we hired David LaCross to represent our son in a complicated criminal matter. David explained the process, listened to our concerns, and was always available to answer our questions. He is caring, straightforward, and down to earth. His calm demeanor made one of the worst... moments of our lives less stressful. David truly cares about his clients. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and knows the law. He is infallible in the pursuit of justice and has an excellent “courtside” manner. He believes in fairness and justice for fellow human beings. We could not thank David enough for his hard work and commitment that lead to a positive outcome. Our family is truly appreciative. We highly recommend David LaCross to anyone seeking an excellent attorney.

"David is one of the best criminal attorneys I've met. He is knowledgeable, passionate and highly skilled. He truly cares for his clients. He was willing to take a month away from his family to attend the elite Trial Lawyers College to become the best attorney he could be, and not many lawyers have done this nor are willing to. You cannot go wrong hiring David and I would never hesitate to send him a case!"

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. David and I spent almost a month together at the famed Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. I not only got to know David personally, but also watched his trial skills in action. He is not to be underestimated. He is a dedicated, persuasive advocate. He completely turned me around as a mock juror in a case that I thought was unwinnable. And he did it by finding the core truth of his case and his client -- and then powerfully and authentically presenting it. I would not hesitate putting my case, my liberty or my life in David's hands."
