If you are looking for a fighter, someone who is professional, passionate, powerful, prepared, persistent and diplomatic, who never tires and never overlooks any details…David is your man!
He is a lion, an honorable man, dependable, intelligent, driven and someone you definitely want on your team! He rarely sleeps and will answer your calls day or night, no matter what time you call or text, even if he is on vacation. He will drive through snow storms to meet you at court. He will answer all your questions, big or small, to make sure you understand completely and no detail is overlooked. David speaks plainly with no legal jargon and gives you the facts, just the facts. He gently provides you with the information you need to make decisions regarding your case. He does not pressure you. He is salt-of-the-earth.
David will use every tool in his arsenal to represent you and come out with a positive outcome. Whether using his private investigator, aerial drones to map the route of your attack, large evidence posters, or ZOOM calls for in-person meetings, he and his technical staff will pour over store videos looking for answers regarding the incident. He is AMAZING! His entire team is AMAZING! I dealt personally with team members, Irena, Michael, Lou, Yesenia and Jessie and last but not least your private investigator, Dave, aka Drone Pilot. They were professional, competent and compassionate and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and in good hands.
The day of my attack was one of the worst days of my life. January 14, 2026, was one of the best days of my life, when I was found NOT GUILTY. David gave me my life back!
Thank you, David, I cannot say enough good about you. I can never repay you or your team for everything you did for me and my husband. We consider all of you friends and plan to stay in touch with you. You are the BEST!

How would I even start this. January of 2020, my life completely changed. I was fighting for my life alone. However, in the mist of all the darkness they were the light to guide me out. Dave is an incredible lawyer; He fought tooth and nail for me EVERY DAY especially during Covid. Every obstacle that we faced, every hiccup, he would not give up no matter what. He got me out of the county when the odds were stacked against us.
Irena never stopped, no matter the hours, time crunch, obstacles, and all the dirt the state threw at us during trail. She pulled through and she brought it all the way home. She showed everyone my true colors and broke everything down to prove what really happened. She guided me, assured me, and worked with me every day during this process, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
Lou, even though I only really got to know him during the week of my trail, he became my rock. When the going got tough, he was always there, with “ you’ll be okay Jon, take a deep breath, I’m right here. We won’t let anything happen to you” the comfort he brought me when I felt my world was crumbling is unmatched.
Micheal, was there at every practice and every meeting, showed patience, gave advice, and never gave up on me, he always inspired confidence, and never stopped believing in me.
Michael, Paul, Dillion, and Joe were there every day at my trial, this team were not just my lawyers.. They became my family. I couldn’t be more thankful for them. I owe them so much, they fought for my freedom, they fought with passion and fury and got me home to my wife and babies.
THEY ARE NOT YOUR TYPICAL ATTORNEYS!! They are absolutely the best!
There will never be a word to best describe how thankful I am for everyone in that office.
Thank you!

From someone who had never worked with lawyers before. I could not be more grateful for this team! Working with them you’re not just another client but you are treated like family. The dynamic, the passion and just the right amount of aggressiveness makes this team unstoppable! Irena was the star of the show for my husband’s case and successfully brought it all home. I am very thankful to everyone in this office for their collaboration, thanks to them my family is now complete! #NotYourTypicalAttorney #NeverLose!
Owner response
We understand how overwhelming it can feel when you’re navigating the legal system for the first time, and it means a great deal to know our team helped you feel supported throughout the process. Irena and everyone in the office are dedicated to treating every client with the care, communication, and determination they deserve, and we’re glad that came through in your husband’s case. We’re grateful for your trust, and we’re honored to have played a part in helping your family move forward.
I reached out via email to ask a question before retaining the firm and Dave personally called me from his cell within a minute. Even though it was 9pm, he spoke with me for 20 minutes, answered questions. He is the best in the business for self defense and came highly recommended by the US Concealed Carry Association. His content has been very informative and I’m grateful that I can call/text him any time. I’ve researched several attorneys and haven’t found such a quick and personal response anywhere else. Phenomenal track record for self-defense.
Owner response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Dave takes pride in being accessible and providing clear guidance when people need it most, and it’s great to hear that his commitment came through during your call. Your recognition of his knowledge, responsiveness, and long-standing self-defense experience means a great deal. We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in him, and if you ever need further support or have additional questions, we’re always here to help.
When I was recommended many lawyers but when I spoke to David he didn’t take any time to take care what he needed to do! Love the firm
Owner response

I like to thank Irena Stefanovski and David McDermott Law Group who could have not done a more fantastic job on my case . Irena mainly handled my case and provided the best information in and out the Court room she had great customer service and focused on being responsive throughout entire process. If you need legal help look no further the McDermott team is very knowledgeable and will definitely do there best in winning your case. Thank you all at McDermott Law Group.

Owner response
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad to hear that Michael’s knowledge and confidence made your experience informative and engaging. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him—he’ll appreciate knowing his efforts made a positive impression!
I want to take the time to thank the entire team at the Mcdermott law firm. First and foremost they are extremely competent inside the court room and they fight for you like your family. Meaning no set of circumstances will change the effort they put into getting justice for their client. They truly ARE NOT your typical lawyers. Some Lawyers tend to treat you like a number give it a good try and call it one. There isnt any real connection between the client and lawyer and the passion to win is usially based on the dollar amount they can get from you. Not here. you can see the passion, you can feel the desire to do what it takes to get the job done. They go the extra mile. It is truly amazing to see this Firm in action i absolutely would reccomend this team of laywers to anyone in need of not only criminal defense but injury defense as well. I cant thank you guys enough.
