7 Hints: A series of bad decisions led to a DUI arrest in late 2019. As far as I was concerned, my life felt cursed and over. I reached out to David O with the facts about my case (Hint 1: Be truthful, and own up), and his accepting my case was that first feeling after jail that bluer skies were on the horizon. The man doesn't seem to take a day off, and I can normally reach him seven days a week, despite the fact I am just one of many people he is currently fighting for (Hint 2: He will ALWAYS make the time for you), he treats me like a person, not just a case number. He also treats me like a friend, like a brother, when need be he is a shoulder to cry on, and when you or your justifiably angry loved ones don't always believe in you, he WILL be your biggest supporter. After my arrest I suffered bouts of depression, regret, and self loathing. How could I do this to myself? To my family? To my life??? (Hint 3: David doesn't focus on your past, he focuses on your future.) He is a sharp dressed man, one who is always on time and well liked and respected by seemingly every Western WA court district, and if I can be honest, seems to intimidate certain members of prosecution. (Hint 4: David will be your strength through times of fear, worry, and weakness) So what can David O do for you? All of the above! But ultimately, you have to hold up your end of the bargain. Stay clean, stay safe, move forward instead of looking back. He will fight for you to stay home with your family and keep them safe, to keep your job, and to stay a licensed Washington driver (Hint 5: He will fight for your Freedom), he will work very hard to make life "normal" again, and this is coming from someone who's court dates were almost all in 2020. You can believe in David O, just as long as you believe in yourself (Hint 6: Always dress nice for court), and while there are less expensive lawyers out there, I give my word nobody and nothing is worth every penny more than having David O in your corner. So if you (as I did) made a dumb and unforgivable mistake behind the wheel, and are not sure where to turn, or even where to start, give David O a call. He doesn't care about your case number. He cares about your life... (Hint 7: Hire David O!!!) read more

EXCELENTE TRABAJO! Después de hablar con varios abogados, (con secretarías mejor dicho) David fue el único que pude platicar de mi caso en persona y sin cobro alguno para informarme de sus servicios, con honestidad, respeto y encima de eso el más económico, para toda la comunidad hispana que la situación económica en varias ovaciones no es la mejor David O es la mejor opción pues como ya lo mencioné es el más económico y encima de eso pude hacer pagos cómodos mes tras mes, todos los demás piden un mínimo de $1000 a $2000 dólares para trabajar tu caso, con David es todo lo contrario, me pregunto cuando podía pagar y cuánto era más cómodo para mí y sin más ni menos comenzó a trabajar en mi caso, que por cierto el caso lo ganamos :) Recuerdo muy bien lo que me dijo, Luis no te voy a engañar diciéndose que voy a ganar tu caso pero lo que sí te puedo garantizar es que voy a trabajar y hacer todo lo que esté en mi alcance para que podamos ganar tu caso y así fue de principio a fin. Más que satisfecho estoy sumamente agradecido por su servicio, de hoy en adelante ya se a quién acudir o recomendar si algún conocido mío llega a estar en la misma situación! Mil gracias David a ti y a todo tu equipo de trabajo. Luis Soriano read more

There are really not enough words to describe what an outstanding advocate David was to my case! In February 2019, I was charged with a DUI, which is scary enough, but I had also just recently moved to Seattle, started a new position, and along with other factors, just made this all, that much more stressful to deal with. After the incident, my wife started looking through a list of lawyers, and after speaking with David, we knew we had to retain him. After every conversation I had with him, he just provided me with a sense of calmness and reassurance during a really unsure time. In the end, David was able to reduce my second DUI to reckless driving, which was the best outcome I could hope for. I know this may not be everybody's situation, but I can guarantee you that David will work hard on your case and fill in all holes. My advice is, listen to him and do everything he says! He is very knowledgeable and knows what he's talking about. Integrity and professionalism is hard to come by, and David mirrors that 110%. I highly recommend his services! read more

I put all my trust and respect into David O and his law defense team. He is extremely professional, sharp and tactful when explaining and planning cases. I was having trouble finding a lawyer who would show up to court the very next day. David was there to represent me immediately within 18 hours. His defense during a phone interview with the DOL convinced them to remit my suspended license.This is a very difficult task to achieve because the DOL does not negotiate. Whenever I reappeared in court he was reassuring every time and carefully explained to me the plan of action. Overall after calculating the time saved and the possible fines I would have to pay my decision to hire David O to represent me was overwhelmingly worth it. Several tickets/charges were dropped, fines dramatically reduced and he saved me the hassle of interlock and outpatient alcohol treatment so I can get back to living my life and focused on achieving my goals. I am grateful to have met David and have him on my team representing me. read more

I'm so grateful to have had David as my attorney. From the very beginning to the end, my experience with him was truly 10/10 . I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me. My case lasted over a year and it wasn't an easy one. There were many times when I felt nervous, overwhelmed, and uncertain about what would happen. Throughout the entire process, David was always there to answer my questions, guide me, and reassure me that everything would be okay. His support meant a lot to me. Standing in front of the judge was one of the most stressful moments, but having David by my side made all the difference. He fought hard for me and helped me achieve the best possible outcome. I truly felt like he cared about me and my case every step of the way. I will always be thankful for David's dedication, professionalism, and kindness. If you're looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight for you, I 10000% recommend David. You couldn't ask for a better attorney. read more

David O is a honest and amazing guy to work with. He handle my case very professionally as well as calming. Meaning that I am a person that likes to have control and this man did everything in his power to reassure me everything will be just fine. Facing a DUI and some unfortunate outcome, he managed to plead it to a reckless driving with my license able to be reinstated within 3o days no blow and go and no restrictions. For what I received through David's hard work, I have nothing other then thank you and God bless this man. Also, he is a great family man. He understands hardships and mistakes and will work with you as long as you allow him to do what he needs to. I can honestly say I would trust him any day in court, on my side of course lol. Thank you David for helping and continuing to help through these hard times. If you need a very great and wonderful defense attorney, this is your lawyer. Also, Thank you Tim as well. David's firm is just amazing to work with. read more

David is the best attorney that I've ever worked with. The first time I worked with David back in 2004 was when I needed to get my civil rights reinstated. David won the case in a decent ammount of time. More recently I decided to start my own firearms business and applied for my FFL, when it got to the state part of the process (the final step) I was denied! And told to turn in my CWP. By the same state that gave my rights back, and my CWP. I know weird. Anyways, I had only 2 weeks to get this fixed, David didn't hesitate to take on the challenge. In less than a week the sheriff's office called me and informed me they had messed up and they would be overturning their ruling. I would recommend David to my family, friends and anyone who needs an attorney. He takes a lot of pride in what he does, and it shows by the way he takes care of business. Thanks David for all your help I couldn't imagine working with another attorney. read more

I had a really great experience working with David O Defense. David was my attorney for my first DUI case, and he was able to get it reduced to reckless driving in less than a year, which I'm super thankful for. From the very beginning, he was easy to talk to, down-to-earth, and really knowledgeable. I was honestly pretty scared and unsure since it was my first offense, but David made me feel comfortable and kept me informed every step of the way. You can tell he really cares about his clients and knows what he's doing. The only small issue I had was the response time -- sometimes it took a bit to get a reply, but I understand he's busy helping a lot of people. Other than that, everything went really smoothly. Overall, I'm really happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend David O Defense to anyone who needs a solid, trustworthy attorney. read more

I truly appreciate David and all the work he did for me on my case. I made a huge mistake and was very upset about it. I was nervous to call any attorney thinking they might try to belittle me but much to my relief David was nothing like this, he was understanding, caring and answered my questions without trying to rush me off the phone, we spoke for about 30mins during our first call. During our meetings and hearings it was obvious that David was experienced and knew a lot about the law. He was well spoken in court and was always prepared, and it seemed like the judge and the lawyers all knew him. I felt good he was representing me! My case was dismissed due to some legal issues David discovered and presented to the court. I'm so thankful and I won't be making this mistake again. I would highly recommend David and his law firm to anyone. read more

I would recommend Mr. O and his associates to anyone! He recently got my daughters criminal case dismissed, which has been stressful for both my daughter and myself. The attorneys of David O Defense were always patient with me as I had many questions and concerns along the way, they always returned my calls promptly. I've worked with other attorneys in the past and communication was always an issue, I never had any communication problems with David O Defense. Also, I paid for my daughter legal services and David O Defense had the best legal fee and allowed me to make a payment plan considerate of my income. Many thanks to Mr. O and his team, my daughter said, "Best feeling ever!" when they got her case dismissed. read more

Going through the whole court process is never pleasant but David makes this complicated situation as simple as he can. He is clear on what he wants to try to do for you and he never makes promises he cant keep. After our last meeting during my sentencing, he had told me that if I needed any adult consultation on marriage or life in general that he would be there like an "uncle" and to call him anytime for advice. As a young adult starting a family and also coming from an experience like this I can tell he wanted whats best for me and my family. Not only was he able to reduce my charges, he also became a friend and a mentor. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer that they can trust. read more

I would like to start this review by saying David is an amazing lawyer! In early February I had made a stupid decision to get behind a steering wheel and drive while intoxicated. I was charged with a DUI. I contacted David and he assured me that this process will be long, but we would get results. I put all my faith in him and he never let me down. Very courteous, responds quickly when you have answers. In the end I had my DUI amended to a Reckless driving which saved my job. I highly recommend DavidO Defense for any of your legal issues. HES ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LAWYER AND ALL AROUND GUY!! THANK YOU David!! Im forever grateful to you and your staff!! read more

David was amazing all around. He not only helps you, he makes you feel like family. We felt like our case was a hopeless situation and everything was against us but David had lifted us out of that mindset and made us feel that we could keep moving forward. He not only took the time to get to know our case but also us as people and really cared. He was a force in the courtroom, was professional, meticulous with case details, and was pillar of strength during the most stressful parts of the trial. He was also very considerate of our cultural background and roots as well as our families. Thank you David, you are a superhero! read more

David O and his team are some of the most dependable and trustworthy I have encountered. Being charged with a crime, no matter how small or large, is a frightening prospect. Having someone to walk you through the litigation and beyond with the background of many years working with the system is incredibly helpful. I do not know where I would be without David and his team but I know that should I ever require the services of a lawyer again, they will be my only call. They will go above and beyond to see that your needs are met and that you receive the absolute best possible outcome. read more

David O wow what an incredible attorney. When I got out of jail he was there for me, let me know what was going to happen and gave me great advice, made me feel like we were going to beat this thing together. My criminal charges were dropped and lowered to negligent driving. By far the best outcome that could happen. Didn't have to spend years in alcohol classes, didn't have extra stuff tacked on wasting my time. All these things cost more money that we all don't want to spend. If you get into trouble call David O, seriously he has your back and he's a good dude! read more

David was a blessing when I was arrested for driving under the influence. Throughout this anxiety-provoking ordeal, he was an excellent communicator and always kept me in the loop regarding my case. Having an attorney who is experienced and well-respected by his peers is crucial and I'm so glad I chose to go with David. He's professional and to the point but also a really good guy. Hopefully my friends and loved ones don't find themselves in a legal predicament like mine, but if they do, I'm giving them David's number immediately. read more

I have worked with David and his team professionally over the past eleven years. I have never witnessed such compassion with knowledge.
