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,

I had gotten a dui charge and really did not know much about the process. I called David looking for legal counsel and representation with regards to this matter. From our initial meeting, up to trial and even after he has always been professional and understanding. He clearly knows his way around... the court room and has a personal and professional relationship with all of the important people at the courts. Because of his legal acumen and his relationship with the court David was able to get me the most favorable outcome that I could have ever hoped for. Because of this, if I ever find myself in a compromised legal position again or know Anyone who is, I would seek his counsel. He truly did a tremendous job and can't say enough about how he handled it from start to finish.

Frank, I am so glad that I was able to help you in your time of need. Usually someone in your position would be facing mandatory jail time. However, I am glad that I was able to help you achieve a sentence where you did not spend a single day in jail. I wish you the very best in the future.

Kept me out of a bad situation

Mr. Burdett represent me for a DUI conviction. I'll just say first that Dave put my mind at ease as much as was possible for the situation -- he explained every step of the process to me as it came along, and always kept in contact the whole way, never making it feel like an annoyance or burden when ...I needed to talk to him. The main thing I want to thank him for, though, is that he kept fighting for me even after we both had been told that there was no chance of getting the A.R.D. program. I have no doubt that I would not have gotten this program if it had not been for Dave, and I can't thank him enough.

I am so glad that we were able to get you into the ARD program so that you could avoid a DUI conviction and a mandatory jail sentence. When you were denied ARD initially by the Northampton County DA's Office, we made sure to submit you for ARD reconsideration promptly. I am glad that I was able to convince the DA to let you into the ARD program. I wish you the very best in the future!
