The Law Offices of David Chesley handled my boyfriend’s case and helped him beat his trial case last Tuesday. If you hire David, you'll know that you're being defended by a well-established lawyer, who has a top-notch reputation. At no point did I feel like we were treated like just "another number". He stayed with the case and never stopped until we reached a positive finish.
My mom found Mr. Chesley online. After speaking to him she was confident that he will be the best lawyer-after speaking to 3 other attorneys on who scared her and were more expensive. He is Very friendly, courteous, and a genuine individual. I was really scared but he made me feel better when I spoke with him. I had an indictment and my case was dismissed. Mr. Chesley made us feel like family and he didn't put money first. He is a great lawyer and individual I 100% recommend this criminal attorney.
Sometimes in life your loved ones will get into trouble with the law. When that happens, you need someone who will fight for their rights in Court. When I hired Chesley Lawyers all that I can say is that it was the best decisions of our life. Their lawyers do an excellent job of practicing criminal defense in Van Nuys Court. Thank you David for protecting our family.
Facing over 10 years in prison for multiple felony charges I was desperate and worried. I am blessed to have found David online and hire him after speaking with him and meeting in person. True to his word, David resolved my case in a manner favorable for me which resulted in only a small misdemeanor with no jail time and only probation. Recommend him 100%.
Thank you for your service! It really helped me out. I would recommend it to friends and family.
