From the minute we met David Garcia we were instantly confident he could get this done for us, favorably and ahead of schedule. He surpassed what we expected as far as communication (Both with us, other parties’ attorney, and the court) wise from a law firm of this caliber. This was our first experience with any legal system and we were extremely comfortable knowing that Dave (and the firm for that matter) had our backs and best interest at mind. He was able to resolve our problem in a better, faster fashion than anything we would have imagined. Dave worked diligently to maintain integrity of the whole process and we are forever grateful for his guidance. Dave Garcia was an amazing defender and friend during this process. We are so overjoyed with this firm, our outcome and Dave.
David far exceeded our expectations. He is calm, articulate, and pragmatic. We would absolutely hire him again; his work was worth every penny.
When our child was arrested for a minor offense, it was a harrowing time filled with stress and concerns about the future. The effect on graduate education and careers weighed heavily on us. David was both professional and also compassionate. He decisively outlined the level of the offense and explained how this did not have to be a dream killer for our child. David then mapped out the ideal plan of action and outcome. David and his team executed the plan to perfection and our child emerged with no convictions but a very important life lesson. We highly recommend David Garcia if you are placed in such a concerning and stressful situation.
David is a well prepared and timely lawyer. Throughout my case, he quickly responded to all my calls and emails along with keeping updated on new details. He laid out my options clearly and gave great advice on how to proceed. As well, David acted extremely professional especially while handling a disrespectful prosecutor. Overall i would highly recommend David Garcia and would chose him as my representation in the future.
