From the minute I walked into David Marshall's office, I was made to feel like our case was important to him. Since this was my first experience with a criminal lawyer, I was cautious of what to expect. I was really feeling blindsided by what my son was accused of. David assured me that he had a lot of experience in this area. He readily put my mind at ease. He was careful to explain what the steps would be and what to expect along the way. He directed both my son and myself how we should handle situations that may come our way. Throughout the whole process he made himself available to us if we had questions or concerns. He listened and even took any recommendations we had to offer. Never at any time did David Marshall make anyone in our family feel judged or uncomfortable. If any of our friends or relatives would find themselves in a situation that is out of control, I feel certain that Mr. Marshall would be able to build their confidence and give them assurance that he would give the best of himself for their case. David Marshall is a warm and caring man. When we were in this scary situation, he was able to give us hope. His compassion for us was exactly what we needed to give us the strength to fight. We had a multitude of questions. He was always patient and answered each and every one.

On a beautiful Thursday afternoon last spring, I went about my usual business, when, suddenly, one knock at my door would change the entire direction of my life. It was CPS. The accusations were insanely false and part of a whole different battle; however, CPS means business. Their job is to protect your kids and when they show up at your door with a report that you may be a risk to them, it's terrifying. I was so lucky to happenstance upon David Marshall. . . . If you are lucky enough to work with David, you, too, will see that he will be a light for you in a very dark situation. During this time in my life, which was rampant with terror; fear; and helplessness, the only peace and power I felt in it all was knowing that David had my child's back. My only complaint is that he's not a divorce attorney as well.

I am so appreciative of your continuing caring manner. You both continue to be my lifeboat... I recall my dreading that first call for help, where Tracey answered the phone and assured me that your team could help. I was terrified of the circumstances and was an emotional wreck—Tracey's warm, reassuring voice provided the assurance and eased my mind—I felt I was in good hands. David, your forward, truthful way of presenting my legal predicament was difficult to hear, yet your caring, professional, yet friendly service continued to be a beacon of hope in the darkest days.

David Marshall's experience and professionalism were critical in the outcome of my case. Initially I was charged with a very serious offense and through David's methodical preparation, guidance, and experience, the charge was reduced considerably. Not only that, his empathy towards my family and I was a calming element in the midst of a scary and chaotic situation. I recommend David and the Marshall Defense Firm to anyone that needs representation.

I am so grateful for all that David and his staff did. And more important, for how they treated me. In a very dark period of my life they were kind, decent, and respectful, even when they had to deliver bad news. Their treating me with dignity means more to me than they may be able to understand.

I was referred to David Marshall by a supreme court judge. Mr. Marshall returned my call immediately and even arranged to meet with me at his office in the evening to accommodate my schedule. He listened to me with complete care and compassion; I felt at ease at his presence as I knew that I was in very good hands indeed. His experience in a case like mine was undeniable as he explained to me about the process. I found him very trustworthy and non-judgmental. He kept in touch me through out the process and wanted to see how I was doing. He always replied to my email and phone messages very promptly. He never made me feel rushed. I was not just a "case" for him. I believe that he truly cares about life and he will do his best to give you the support you need to get your life back.
