Posted by Matthew K | March 17, 2021 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Highly recommend attorney David Burdette.

I hired David for a DUI case. He did an amazing job. I met with him before my case and he expanded everything to me. I felt very comfortable. After talking with him, I knew he was the layer to hire. He help me out a lot. I only had my license suspended for 2 months. It could of been a lot longer,

5 points reduced to 0

David was able to get my 5 point speeding ticket reduced to a zero point offense.  This result avoided a PennDOT departmental hearing which likely would have resulted in a 15 day license suspension.  Nothing will appear on my driver’s history for this incident and my car insurance rates will not incr...ease - something I was worried would haunt me for years to come. I would highly recommend David to anyone in the same situation.

Highly recommend attorney David Burdette.

I found David online and I sent an inquiry. He was prompt in his reply to me and I hired him as my attorney. He got my 5 point speeding ticket to a zero point offense. In addition, my 3 point careless driving ticket also to a zero point offense. I now have no ticket that appears on my driving record.... It was also great that David appeared at court on my behalf. If I have any future legal issues, I will be calling David.

Settling a traffic violation

Following a traffic violation, I spoke to Mr. Burdett. He listened attentively as I recounted the circumstances. He briefly explained the entire hearing process, potential penalties and his expertise. I would not have to attend the session. Mr. Burdett succeeded in having the police officer withdra...w the ticket.
