Veterans court is a proactive and innovative way to treat the warriors of this country who have difficulties transitioning into civilian life. I have had many cases where my clients have taken advantage of the opportunity to get the help that they need. As the article points out, this is not a "get out of jail free card." It is earning a fair outcome. Treatment courts such as these look to the reasons for crime and treat them rather than warehousing people.

Forfeiture actions by the police is a scourge on the justice system. It allows the police to take property from people even without proof of criminal wrongdoing. It is a long and expensive process to try to get the property back. It puts the person in the position of having to justify where they got the money or property. If you are caught with a large amount of cash, you will need to explain its origins. Possessing Cash has now become suspicious and criminal.

I very rarely post reviews from clients but this was sent to me earlier today. This is the reason that I work so hard for my clients.
"David helped me when I was in the worst Jam of my life, without going into details I was falsely accused of a crime by an ex which would have have ruined my life. After interviewing several attorneys I chose to go with David who came across as professional and capable of delivering on his promises.
David always made sure to answer my questions and concerns in a timely manner, you will appreciate this quality when dealing with a serious issue. He also did not make promises he could not keep just to earn my business.
I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who needs representation."-L.G.
