    David is a straight talking, informative and dedicated lawyer for his clients! He is extremely communicative, very knowledgeable about the law, friendly and easy to talk to. His experience as a police officer and detective absolutely are hugely valuable in his ability to guide his clients. I would recommend David to anyone and everyone. He is super!!

    "Helpful and Honest Legal Advice"

    Called for help with a class A misdemeanor. Received a call back shortly, stating that after looking into my case, it had been dropped to a class C due to lack of evidence. This was my 6th law office I had contacted, and no one else made me aware of this.

    I was made aware that currently there are no outstanding charges and a ton of other helpful information, all free of charge, when he could have taken my money.

    REALLY appreciated all the information!!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

    "Awesome Attorney"

    I would definitely recommend hiring Larry McDougal. I had two felonies and Larry took care of everything. I was done with court in less than a year. He went out of his way to give my husband a lot of free legal advice that helped our situation. And I also appreciate that they would reply to emails within minutes.

    "I highly recommend!"
    Larry, David, Sarah, and Marissa were absolutely amazing with everything from beginning to dismissal. They are organized and keep you informed. The law office is non-judgmental and very down-to-earth as you navigate your case. It was so nice to have a team of people who made sure that I was good every step of the way. It was so relieving to have the representation at court dates so that I did not have to disrupt my schedule. I will always be thankful for this law office and the kind and professional people who make it great! A+.
