Thereafter, I attended law school at night for two years while at the same time working as a civil litigation paralegal during the day at one of the Nations's largest international law firms located here in Phoenix, Arizona. During my two years in law school, in addition to taking a full load of classes each semester and working days, I also split time as a staff editor on the Phoenix Law Review.

I was very fortunate to have the Rosenstein law group work my case. They gave me a great deal. I would highly recommend James Smith to someone needing a defense attorney. James Smith and Steven Scharboneau worked vigorously on my case. They are extremely dedicated to their work. I was so confident in their work. I was able to focus on my life and not worry about my DUI. The money was worth not having anxiety about my case. That and the results James Smith produced.

This was the first time I had ever been in real trouble with the law. An office had attempted to give me a DUI due to the fact I have a Medical marijuana card legal in Arizona. Not only did Dave Smith win my case he also put my mind and ease, he gave me the support and confidence I needed to feel comfortable with the legal process and expectations at each step. He took all the anxiety and fear I felt when I was first pulled over and replaced it with confidence and reassurance. He took time to explain what to do during each part of my trail including when and where to go and what to do. He truly provided wonderful legal and moral support during an otherwise terrifying experience, and I am very grateful to have him on my side. I would suggest his services and use him myself in the future for any Legal advice.

After consulting multiple attorneys most of them settled on “hey take classes and this is what you’re going to get” approach . When i spoke to Dave i knew it was the right choice , he didn’t settle for “this is what you’re gonna get”, he took the “f that, let’s get this dropped” , loved that. He walked the walk and got it done , he’s very communicative, no BS and i was happy i hired him. Was very thorough with evidence , speaking to police, and communicating with me. I can’t thank him enough saved my career too! Again , thank you!

I was charged with two counts of DUI- ("over the limit of .08" and "driving while impaired to the slightest degree"). The night of the incident, I had denied a field test and also refused the breathalyzer... so after being arrested I did the blood test at the station. Later, once the results were in, my BAC was said to have been 0.124%. After having many discussions with Dave about my case along with the State failing to offer any kind of lesser charge(s), we ended up deciding to go to trial and fight it. This was a yearlong process (the state taking it’s sweet time and having first had a mistrial) which both gave me enormous levels of stress… Once trial actually began, it continued for a total of 3 days with the third day only lasting until roughly 11am when the jury gave their verdicts. Dave pulled through like a boss throughout trial and put on a show for the jury and judge. Dave was brilliant in his approach. He also had completely honest and transparent conversations with me on what to expect before, during and after the whole litigation process. Moreover, we called in his expert to testify for us against the blood results and lab work… he was also magnificent himself in respect to his honest approach. In the end, both counts I was being charged with were found to be not guilty and resulted in quite an extraordinary feeling. I am beyond thankful for Dave Smith and The Rosenstein Law Group. The weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders and I can’t smile big enough to show my gratitude. If you find yourself in a similar and dreadful situation as mentioned above, I would eagerly urge you to contact Dave Smith and The Rosenstein Law Group and let them put to ease your worries and charges. 100% recommended to everyone. Much love and respect. -Miles

I was very skeptical, not my first rodeo with the state, BUT I did retain Dave and after his explanations to me, of the best and worse case scenarios.....I still didn't believe it would turn out in my favor. WELL not only did he defend my case quickly and accurately BUT HE WENT ABOVE & BEYOND and the end result WAS BETTER THAN I EVER EXPECTED!! DAVE IS ONE AWESOME LAWYER! I highly recommend him for any criminal issues! Thank YOU DAVE, you gave me my life back & I will always be grateful!!! Support staff is also very compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. I hope I'm never in a situation like this again but if I do......DAVE IS THE MAN & THE BEST!!!!! 10 STARS ***********

This law firm came recommended and now I know why! They did everything possible to prove my case as I was not driving nor was the car running. I hope to never use you again but I will always recommend you! They warned me that it could take a long time to resolve but it wasn't more than 6 months. I cannot thank you enough!

Dave was highly effective in the courtroom. He was overly prepared, quick on his toes, and very intelligent. He researched all the facts and targeted the charges from multiple angles. I would highly recommend him and his staff. They are top notch.

Dave was the 3rd attorney I met with on the day I hired him. I could immediately tell he was a no nonsense guy. He was efficient, offered very comforting advise; he kept me out of jail twice, when I WOULD HAVE gone without his services. I have, and will continue to highly recommend him to all my friends and family in the future! He's a pretty cool guy as well.
