If your child is charged by the authorities for allegedly committing a criminal act, you should not think that the matter will simply go away since your child is underage.

I was so glad to have Mr Jonathan David, he is a skilled and honest attorney. Highly, highly recommended.
Jonathan David represents his clients well and goes above and beyond to do what’s in the best interest of his clients. I highly recommend Mr. David!!
It is always nice to have friends recommend friends when you need something. It is better when that recommendation turns out to be a truly competent professional that exceeds your expectations.
Jon David took a difficult an somewhat embarrassing situation and handled it. He let me know what to expect and gave me options to resolve it. I was impressed that a friend's recommendation turned out to be the best possible solution to my legal trouble.
Jon has now become the friend that I would recommend to my friends when they need professional legal representation.
I was extremely pleased with the service Mr. David provided. His seasoned demeanor and attentiveness brought me comfort in a time when I felt lost. Beyond the excellent legal work, his networking aided me in receiving the care I needed for personal health. His communication was prompt and casual enough to create the feeling of personal interest while remaining professional. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking help or legal advice and would not hesitate to call upon him in the future.
Highly recommend. Straight forward, doesn't mince words, and flexible. He was recommended by other lawyers after my original lawyer bowed out late in the game due to family matters. I was a little worried, but I got better than the original choice, who I had chose because she was closer. John is an energetic, fast on his feet type of guy. I desire a lawyer who is aggressive, that's what I got.
Highly recommended. Mr. David provided excellent service and exceeded my expectations. He is prompt and professional, and shows decision making skills and planning derived from his extensive experience. He takes a genuine interest in the task at hand in order to achieve favorable results
