Posted by Jason | August 03, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Genuine and Amazing Lawyer!

I was pulled over by a state trooper in Pennsylvania doing 98 in a 55 and was given four tickets. (Speeding, careless driving, unsigned registration card, and for a tinted license plate cover) The trooper told me I would most likely end up with a suspended license. I contacted David and he was happy ...to help. We ended up getting my speeding ticket down to only 15 over and getting the license cover ticket as well as the careless driving ticket thrown out. Ending up with only having to pay some fines, after stressing for weeks thinking I will be losing my license, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing everything was handled quickly and very professional. I would recommend David to anyone that needs representation 10/10 times. Outside of professional representation David is also a great listener and a great person to have nice conversations with. Thank you David your a lifesaver!

Easy to work with and great guy

I hired David for help with my first time at court. He was very helpful answering all of my questions and explaining clearly what was about to happen. I would work with him again if I ever need to, though I pray I don’t!

Excellent

David was upfront, honest and caring in dealing with my case . He did an excellent job of explaining everything to me as well as answering all of my questions no matter how trivial. The end result was charges were dropped to a traffic ticket. I highly recommend David Burdett for representation...

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.

Excellent & trustworthy lawyer

I hired David Burdett to represent me on a speeding ticket I received in PA. I am from out of state (MD). From our first conversation David was very detailed with explaining to me how the process works in PA and various possibilities. Mr Burdett did an amazing job and was able to get my ticket amende...d to a zero point offense. Being from out of state, it was also very convenient to have him appear on my behalf and represent me. I did not have to make the 3-4 hour drive to PA to appear in court. I highly recommend David Burdett for any legal needs you may have!
