Look elsewhere if you want results

David had a lot of promise, however was completely ineffective and was extremely passive in court, to the point you’d think he was hired by the prosecution. My case resolved in spite of David working against me.

Posted by Matthew | February 06, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Exceptional Representation With Tremendous Results

Mr. Burdett helped me with two driving tickets, Reckless Driving and Speeding respectively. I went from potentially having a 6 ½ month suspension to NO suspension. Also, my fines and costs were reduced overall, and my speeding citation as dropped from 70mph over to 30mph over the limit. He quite lit...erally saved a significant portion of my life. If my license was fully suspended for 6+ months a LOT of trivial things would become near impossible to do lawfully. I'd recommend David Burdett for any and all of your legal traffic related incidents, he's professional, sharp, and will do everything in his power to help. Trust him and the process, you're in phenomenal hands with this man.

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...

Great Traffic Lawyer

David L. Burdett did exactly what he says he would do. Even though nothing is 100% when it comes to seeing a judge, he made the process simple and got the best result possible.

Did exactly what he said he was going to do, couldn't be happier. Dave is the goat.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
