I can’t say enough good things. We had a horrible PD that had no idea how to handle a mental health case. After multiple complaints the PD’s manager said I have an option to petition the court for a free private attorney. The court approved and David Faulkner was appointed to us. He moved quickly and knew exactly what he needed to do to assist my som to get through the mental health program of the courts and was able to get him out of jail and received mental help and through that system he was able to remove his felony. He then returned and got his records expunged so he can get a regular job. He kept in touch with me throughout even though my son is an adult and he had no obligation to tell me anything. My son has another chance at life again because of David, thank you so much!

I cannot speak highly enough of my attorney, David Faulkner. From the very beginning, he proved to be extremely knowledgeable, guiding me through every step with clarity and confidence. He was easy to talk to and always made me feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how small. His professionalism was unmatched, and his communication was exceptional — I always knew what was happening and what to expect. Although I hope I never need his services again, I truly cannot recommend David Faulkner more highly. If you need an attorney who genuinely cares and knows exactly what he’s doing, he is the one to call.

I’ve had the privilege of working with David on multiple cases, and time and time again, he has proven to be an exceptional attorney. He has not only kept me out of jail but has done so with unwavering dedication, skill, and a genuine commitment to his clients. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that he truly cares—he doesn’t just see you as another case, but as a person who deserves the best possible defense. What sets David apart is his ability to navigate the courtroom with confidence and expertise. He fights tirelessly, knows how to get results, and never backs down from a challenge. He is also fair and honest—he doesn’t overcharge, doesn’t judge, and always keeps your best interests at heart. David, you are truly one of the best in the field, and I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. You deserve far more recognition for the incredible work you do!

He sits with you and goes over your case in detail for free and then lets you know how much his fees are. He's honest and down to earth.
