David M Edelstein, PA

I hired David Edelstein to defend me in a petit theft case. This unfortunately was the 2^nd time I was arrested for this crime. The first time was almost a decade ago in another state. I looked up what punishment I was facing and it was a year in jail, a $ 1000 fine, a year probation with community service and counseling, and a criminal conviction forever on my record. I couldn’t believe I had embarrassed my family by committing this crime a second time.
The first time I was arrested for this crime years ago, I hired the best lawyer in town and paid a lot of money. He told me all sorts of things he was going to do for me to get me out of the situation. Said he was going to be proactive and talk to the people at the store before charges were even filed and all sorts of hopeful plays he was going to make. BUT as soon as he had my money, he none of the things he promised… So this second time around I spoke with five different lawyers when I was thinking about hiring someone. Each lawyer told me a different story as to what they could do for me. Some of them were actually a bit rude on the phone before I even hired them! Some were overly hopeful and some were pessimistic about my outcome.
I could tell immediately that David was not only knowledgeable but that he actually cared about his clients. Something about his voice and the way he answered my questions. I was more than right to hire him and his team! First, through the 3 months I wait to wait until court, David did everything he promised. He always took every call or email I made to him. He was always polite and never rushed me. On the day of court guess what?! David got me — NO JAIL TIME, NO CONVICTION, NO COMMUNITY SERVICE, and NO PROBATION!!! I paid a $ 300 fine and was able to leave! AND not only that but that day there must been over 50 people waiting to see the judge and he somehow negotiated it so that my case was heard first!!!
I am telling you — HIRE THIS MAN and his team!!! They are the best!
