I had a case were I was charged with a DWI, and the facts of the case were so loosely put together that there was an excellent chance the case would be dismissed. At the time I was with a firm I felt wasn’t handling my case appropriately. So I went out looking for a 2nd opinion.
From the first day I met David I knew I was in good hands, and he just got my point of view. There was no back and forth of I don’t understand. It was he understood my story and my position. I’m extremely grateful to him and his team. Thank you David for getting my case dismissed!

Second-time Offense:
If you’ve been charged before, the penalties get progressively harsher. Fines can escalate to $4,000, jail time can extend to one year, and your license could be suspended for two years.
