Posted by Bradley | August 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Quick. Awesome.

I had an irritating case a few years ago (an overblown misdemeanor charge). David quickly assembled the evidence, formulated the strategy, and got the prosecutor to reduce the charge greatly. Well worth the money.

Litigation lawyer | Feb 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"A great advocate. David truly cares about his clients. In the case we worked on together, he consistently went the extra mile in every regard. I look forward to working with him again."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 26

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"David and I began our respective careers as adversaries - he a prosecutor and I a public defender. We did hundreds of cases together and numerous trials, including Clallam County's first two felony DUI trials. David has long since come over to the defense, which means the community as a whole has gained a great advocate. Always the consummate professional - David is always well prepared, passionate, and aggressive. I can say from personal experience that David knows how to make an opponent think twice about taking him on. He is a formidable defender, but he is also a truly good human being who cares about his clients and will tirelessly advocate on their behalf. He also has a great sense of humor which can definitely help in what can be a very stressful situation. I endorse David without reservation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
