First and foremost, thank you Mr. Chesley for getting me out of a situation I thought I couldn’t get out of. After going to multiple lawyers, I’m glad I picked you! He got my felony dropped to a misdemeanor with no jail time. I especially liked how he kept me updated on the status of what was happening. I definitely recommend him to anyone that’s going through a situation that doesn’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you so much for helping me!

I am a professional law abiding citizen. When I found my self charged with domestic violence my personal and professional world were turned upside down. I looked for a local attorney who handles domestic violence and am thankful I found The Law Offices of David Chesley. You got the charges dismissed and helped me keep my job. I was not able to save my marriage but I'll be hiring you for my divorce as well. I hope others in need of the same service find your office. Thanks.

David Chesley won my DWI case and saved my license!! When i was arrested i thought my life was over. David had handled an accident case for me in the past--and i know he was a great lawyer. He scheduled me in immediately, handled all aspects of my case himself, and kept me updated. I was going to plead guilty bacause i thought the case was hopeless, but David convinced me to let him take the case to trial. NOT GUILTY said the judge!!! OMG--thank you for everything you did for me.

I was referred to David by some friends and was grateful they did. I wish I called him sooner, because once I called his recognition of the problem and advice on whether to get a lawyer or not was extremely helpful. He genuinely wanted to help. He really cared about my case and even wanted to talk to me after I had court to see how everything went. In a situation where there where so much uncertainty and anxiety, David really helped to calm my nerves and have done reassurance in what I was doing. Thanks David

David Chesley and his legal team got my false arrest dropped without criminal charges being filed. My case was a felony domestic violence, but ended up as a city attorney hearing. David and his partner met me in their Van Nuys office on the weekend and started working on my case immediately. I’m very glad I found this law firm and recommend their services.

I was fortunate to have found David online, and was even more fortunate to have Mr. Chesley did his magic with the laws to persuade the DAs not to press charge against me. I am vietnamese, and Mr. Chesley understands vietnamese cultures which enabled Mr. Chesley to defend me very successfully. Mr. Chesley is the best criminal defense attorney whom I am so fortunate to find online, and to have him represent me. I am very grateful to his excellent work.

I had a great experience & outcome with Mr. Chesley & his staff. Throughout my initial interview & court proceedings, David was very professional, knowledgeable, personable, honest, punctual, & very affordable. Dealing with David was like working with a family member or one of my best friends that had my personal best interests at heart. I felt like he truly cared, he did what he said he would do & I was extremely happy with my outcome. My felony was dropped, among other things. I highly recommend Mr. Chesley ; he is a true asset to our community.

As a Healthcare Professional, I highly recommend Attorney David Chesley if you are seeking representation for a DWI/DUI charge. Attorney Chesley is thoroughly prepared, laser focused, and he also worked diligently with me for my day in court. The result- NOT GUILTY and I feel like the weight of the world is off my shoulders.

When I met with Mr. Chesley to discuss my situation, he listened, and then promised to be with me every step of the way and said we would get through this together. He did exactly as he said he would. As a businessman in the service world, I couldn't ask for anything more. David will always have my respect, and I will highly recommend him to others.

David did an outstanding job from start to the end. He gave us the details the way they were he did not leave any grey area he was to the point. He was available when ever I wanted to get a hold of him. He is truly a professional at what he does. If I ever need an attorney I for sure would call him again.

Mr. Chesley has been our corporate attorney for about 5 years now. During this time, he has represented my company in various situations from labor issues to workman's compensation cases. He has always been professional and has in-depth knowledge affording him such versatility. He has helped us reduce our exposure, costs and minimize our risk. We will continue to seek his expertise.

I appreciate David Chesley very much. My case was very serious. He did a very excellent work to help me. He is very reliable, responsible, patient, persistent and logical thinking, and, most importantly, very aggressive in negotiating. He is kind and non-judgmental while being supportive and seems to have strong relationships with those throughout the court system. He and his team are amazingly good people and great at what they do.

Attorney Chanel did such an amazing work on my felony charges, she pressured and fought the DA to be able and lower my charges.

David Chesley represented my 21 year old son and did a fabulous job. He found a case that was filed six months ago that my old attorney had looked for and could not even find. David performed unbelievably great job, handled the case very professionally in a very timely manner. He is honest, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. I am very happy with David's work. I would highly recommend him. I will call him again in the future for any legal work I might have.

I was charged with assault and battery after one of my employees accused me of intentionally throwing some hot water from the microwave on him resulting in 1st and 2nd degree burns. My case had tremendous potential civil consequences as the employee was asking for hundred of thousands of dollars in damages. Mr. Chesley and his team work aggressively and were able to prove the accusations and charges were not credible and my case was dismissed on the last day prior to trial. I really liked how he aggressively challenged the prosecutor's evidence and was able to convince them they had no case. I highly recommend him.

Thanks to David Chesley and his team, all three of my charges were dismissed in court today! David is not only a very talented and respected lawyer, but is also clearly in the business for the right reasons. David's professionalism and experience was very reassuring to me, and made the whole order much less stressful. If you're going to hire a defense attorney I'd recommend you at least check out David Chesley. He is a life saver.

I would highly recommend David Chesley as he truly takes his job to heart. I really needed him to take action immediately and that was exactly what he did. While the system tried to get in my way Mr. Chesley was tenacious and gave it his all to the end. He was finalizing paperwork late into the evening to be sure everything was resolved for me as quickly as possible. He was reliable and kept me well informed along the way. He was worth every cent spent.
