“I had already hired another lawyer, but I did not trust him. Then I was lucky because I met David. I gave him my complete confidence and I know he worked hard to get my drug case dismissed. He fought hard and proved the cops were wrong in doing what they did. Now I can run my business and run for office.”
As a former Assistant Hennepin County Attorney and Assistant United States Attorney, David Reyes prosecuted state and federal drug cases for over twelve years. He is keenly aware of the intricacies of dealing with the harsh realities and stiff penalties found in state and federal controlled substance cases. He has the knowledge and expertise clients require for dealing with state and federal controlled substance cases.
