5 /5 Elizabeth Ashley Sutter: When it came to hiring a criminal defense attorney in Santa Barbara no one, but David sounded more convincing and compassionate, and he explained everything in detail. After my arrest, I was faced with charges I wasnât at all expecting. I am eternally grateful for his kindness in meeting with us and for the great work that David did on my behalf. Once retained, he worked out an intelligent strategy. My hope for success improved, and my stress level dropped, and I could sleep at night without the worry of going to prison. Extremely supportive and always true to his word. I listened diligently to everything he said to do, and my case ended with a favorable outcome that helped to protect my job. He was very empathetic and worked with us on an easy payment plan and a lower more affordable fee to finance the case than other criminal lawyers in the area. I would tell anyone I know and all potential criminal clients that may need legal representation to contact David Chesley for excellent results. David if youâre seeing this review thank you so much.
