Law Office of David Dastrup

I stumble into Atty. Dastrup here on Unilocal when me and a friend received a misdemeanor back in Oct. I was looking at others online and never really hired an attorney before to represent us. I gave him a call and I was amazed with the details and time he spent with me on the phone to explain all the details. Most other attorneys would probably charge for the consultation time they spent with you. Our initial conversation over the phone took almost an hour, all free! He took the time to answer any and all questions we have and it didn’t feel like he was in a rush to obtain you as a client. He gave a balance view and it made you feel at ease in your situation.
Fast forward to last week and we retained him to represent us. The arbitration results was favorable to us compared to another friend of ours who received the same ticket last summer.
I would highly recommend him and in the end, I told him that although I am hoping I would never need his services again but if I do, I will definitely retain him.
Kudos to Atty. Dastrup!

David was so amazing to work with. I never had to go to court or deal with anything. He took care of everything and always followed up immediately when I had a question. I would recommend him to friends and family without question!

David Dastrup is the BEST attorney!
I received a red light ticket and how you guys know your car insurance will go up because of the points plus to pay the ticket and also traffic school, but David dismissed EVERYTHING. So if you were thinking of getting him as attorney I 100% recommend him!!!
Im so stressed relief now. I am recommending him to all my family and friends now, because he is really helpful and understanding person and will go step by step telling you if you have any concerns or questions.

David Dastrup is by far one of the best attorneys I have had the please of working with!
Just a little bit of my story, I had multiple tickets (9 to be exact)
None of which I paid.
So one day I get a letter in the mail saying I have a warrant out for my arrest. I then freaked out!
I was refered to David Dastrup through a friend and he saved me!!! I was charged with a misdemeanor for driving on a suspended license, and an infraction for a car pool violation, with a total possible punishment of up to six months jail, $ 4700 in fines and fees, and two negligent operator points on my DMV record for ten years… and David got it all DISMISSED! With 0 points on my record. Very low ticket few and 0 jail time! And all I had to do was appear in court one time for a couple minutes!
I have never been so pleased with an outcome like this one! And you would think that this would of costed me a fortune? You would be wrong! He really worked with me and the price of his service. For very very very reasonable!
Not only did he help me with this huge ticket. He (free of charge) looked into all my other tickets and helped my figure out how to settle those! And even went out of his way to take care of my San Diego ticket!
Bottom line he saved me and for a very reasonable price! Thank you again David Dastrup!!!
–Sincerely, one of your very pleased happy clients!

We were so very lucky to find him! He is affordable, patient, kind, thorough and a joy to work with — he never got upset with all our questions and he worked with us to the end of the matter and then some!!! Please do not call anyone else … David knows what he is doing. A huge thanks to him!

I came to David with a failure to appear thrown on top of my already outrageous traffic citation. Being a student is hard enough, but toss in a ticket, excess charges/​fines, and the time to come into court and you have a problem. David demonstrated great attentiveness and made sure all parts of the legal process were explicated clearly. In regards to my case, Mr. Dastrup made sure I was regularly updated. I received timely confirmation on my ticket and was always immediately informed if any changes to my case were made. David did let me know that due to my failure to appear the outcome of my ticket being dismissed was not 100%, but I took the chance. I’m glad I did. He is now my go to lawyer! Thanks, David!

The best attorney ever! I highly recommend him.
I had a warrant for my arrest for failing to appear in court for a misdemeanor (driving with a suspended driver license) and he was able to reduce the charge to a traffic charge and i only paid like 200 when I was supposed to pay almost 1500. I had another driving with a suspended driver license misdemeanor charge which he got rid of for me and I literally had to pay nothing (just a $ 25 as a court fee)

David is a great lawyer, he dismissed my license ticket that I was too worried about.
He did everything on my behalf, I do recommend him, thank you David!

David helped me out with a speeding ticket I live all the way in New York, and he was able to get the case dismissed! Saved myself a trip to California and perhaps points in my license! Thank you David!

When I first received my DUI I was unsure of what was going to happen to me, I felt lost and unsure like everyone else that gets one. After doing research I decided to hire a lawyer but the question was who. I went on Unilocal and found David Dastrup, although my decision to hire David Dastrup was going to be based on excellent reviews I decided to give him a called keep in mind when I called it was on Saturday morning at 8am. After talking to David Dastrup he told me what was and wasn’t possible regarding my case in detail, he took the time to speak to me and explain my rights even though he was not sure if I was going to hired him. After talking to him I got the idea that he knew what he was talking about he gave me the confidence and peace I needed at the time, so I went with him. Now almost three months later the outcome of my case couldn’t be any better he got me a reduction to a «Speed Exhibition» charge which is the best outcome of a DUI charge (0.09 BAC) at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Court. In addition, he got my charges dismiss at the DMV office no license suspension or penalties to pay. I’m extremely happy with he’s service he keep me inform about my case step by step. If you are looking for someone to fight for you David Dastrup is the person to called he’s the best at what he does I recommend him 100% don’t wait and call him now. You won’t regret it !!
Thank you David your the best ;)

David is awesome you can trust him ! I called 3 other law firms and they all told me crazy prices ! He told me how I could save money and handle this myself. I am strong person of honesty ! He walked me thru away that I could save money with out an attorney ! David is Legit !

Came to know David through a recommendation from a friend and couldn’t be happier. For a fair price he represented me on a traffic citation appeal. Personable, knowledgeable, and insightful during the process and provided different options and let me know what was available. Thanks again David!

Dave and I have been friends for now over 13 years. He is one of the most resourceful, loyal friend I have. He gives it to me straight with compassion and solutions when there’s a problem. He is ethical and hard-​working. He has told me how he has handled his cases and he has impressed me.
I know if I ever need legal help, he’s the first person I would turn to.

David is an exemplary example of being an attorney who gave honest, forth right information, about a traffic situation i encountered, without attempting to lead me on that my case would be an easy win. He was not concerned with getting money, but rather gave me feedback to weight the pros and cons of the direction my potential case could have gone. Although i told David i will not be fighting the traffic violation, based on what he told me, if i need assistance with a traffic matter in the future, he will be one of the first people i call.

David is the type of attorney all attorneys should strive to be. He is honest, patient, and extremely knowledgeable on how tickets are processed and handled. After reviewing my case with him, not only did he give me great legal advice, but also informed me on how exactly my case would be handled. He was patient enough to hear my whole story and didn’t pressure me into making any choices, like former attorneys have done in the past. I definitely recommend him if you have any questions or are stressing out about a traffic citation, he will put all your worries at ease! I am definitely coming back to him for any future traffic citations!

David has been wonderful! He has reassured me every step of the way. When I first called the phone number on his website, he is the one who answered the phone, not a secretary.
Even before I hired him, he looked into my case to see what my options were.
He has emailed me or called me himself every week to keep me updated. I have already recommended him to a coworker, and would do so again and again!
Call him if you have questions. It’s worth it!!!

David helped me with some really smart advice on a texting ticket. David cares about his clients and is always ready to help. He’s an intelligent guy who knows traffic laws inside/​out and he knows effective strategy in getting tickets worked out to your advantage. He’s very easy to work with, honest and always friendly and caring. There’s no better person to go to for your traffic ticket troubles!

I had some suspensions and tickets on my driver’s license that should have never been there. My auto insurance was sky high because of it. After speaking to David over the phone he knew exactly what needed to be done and wasn’t looking to take advantage of me. He was going to correct everything but called me back to say I should wait it out since they were going to drop off my record anyways in the next month.
He’s an definitely an attorney you can trust!
Here’s what my buddy had to say:
A few months back I was literally in the process of handing over $ 3,000 to a very unhelpful human being at the courthouse for a couple speeding tickets when I stopped myself, stepped away and called an attorney. I paid the attorney $ 600 and he got all those fines and points in my drivers license completely dismissed! Boom!!! #winning

RECOMMENDED WITH 100 STARS IF I COULD! It was clear from the first conversation that David takes pride in his craft and he wasn’t looking to take advantage of me. He is very experienced in traffic citations and the like, he was straight-​forward and direct with me. Never one to solicit or entice me with boasts of his superiority in the court (like I had experienced from other law offices) David was thorough, competent and never showed an ounce of frustration with my endless questions. What I found most refreshing about working with David was his memory of my particular situation; even after a month long break in communication as I waited for the ticket in the mail David still remembered how we could tackle my case providing me with options.
David, I hope I won’t be needing your services again my friend but I’m keeping your contact tight-​by-​my-​side in that unlikely event!

A police officer referred me to this defense attorney, saying he is good — hilarious, right? The cop was right. Sooo grateful to my cop friend for referring me to Mr. Dastrup.
David, I means Attorney Dastrup, explained everything, including that the normal punishment for my ticket was $ 900, 30 day license suspension, and 2 points on my driving record, so my insurance might have been dropped or shot through the roof. Dave explained that it would be a good resolution if we could just avoid the license suspension and take the kicks of the fine and points. But, he was still going to try to get it dismissed.
He spent 4 ½ hours in court, filed a motion, and argued for me. I never had to go to court or pay the court anything ever. He did not even charge me that much at all. He got my case dismissed totally!!! I was soooo excited.
It was a bonus that I did not have to go to court or anything. I am busy and work a lot. I really did not know what to expect. Really made my day.
Dave was also professional. He didn’t care about anything but helping me out, not all uppity like I expected an attorney to be. Dave was cool, helpful, and informative. He gets my full vote, 5 stars!
