I highly recommend him. (s.b.)

He will shield you from failure or harm if the case is not worth risking in trial and instead work tenaciously and effectively to get you the best of deals.

He is kind, compassionate and dedicated. (s.s.).

4. Attorney David Pflaum is in fact the right defender.

I was looking at a lot of time and charges when I was arrested. Mr. Pflaum took care of that for me from the very start.

Mr. Pflaum is the best attorney in the business.

His actions speak louder than words. (c.t)
