David Michael Smith

David M. Smith is not only an amazing lawyer, but he has strong character and he's great person and family man. He and his team treated me like family. He treated me with respect and took the time to get to know me. He genuinely cared about me and my mental health and talked me through every step of the court process. He put me at ease the moment I met him, and I can't thank him enough. I was charged with a felony for aggravated battery against a peace officer and due to his team's relationship with the prosecutors at the Skokie, IL court house they were able to get the charge down to a misdemeanor. He and his team were persistent with the prosecutor and had her go over every detail of my mitigation package.

We worked as a team and they stayed on top of everything. I made a great decision going with them. We won.

If you are reading this, please remind yourself that no one is perfect. I am graduate student who ended up receiving a felony charge last Summer and it almost cost me my future career. I am just so thankful that I found Chicago Trusted Attorneys and was able to be represented by David Smith and Paul Burnson. From the very beginning, these attorneys will work with you to build the best defense. Whether it is forming a personalized mitigation or finding loopholes in the laws, these attorneys WILL provide you with the best possible route to getting your case dropped to a lower charge or dismissed altogether. With me specifically, my case lasted roughly seven months and luckily my felony charge was dismissed completely. Not only did Mr. Smith and Mr. Burnson exhibit masterful execution of the defense approach, but they were very personable to me as well which I really appreciated. I was actually able to call and talk to them numerous times throughout the seven months my case was in court.

Both Paul Burnson and David Smith of Chicago Trusted Attorneys provided us with excellent support, advice, and legal counsel. Paul was the lead attorney on my son’s case and he was extremely responsive in answering all of my questions. He stayed engaged throughout the process, including a few continuances and he was very persistent when dealing with a non responsive prosecutor. During my son’s court appearance, Paul was clearly the sharpest attorney in the room - ultimately getting the violation dismissed altogether. We couldn’t be happier with the service and outcome. I recommend them wholeheartedly!
