Negotiation Skills & Knowledge of the Court
____________________________________________________
I have had no prior experience in the legal system by which to compare the services of David Zellis, Esq. I did, however, find him to be courteous, engaging, knowledgeable, smart, and experienced. He outlined for me all possible outcomes of the issue and was careful to advise me that all decisions as to how to proceed would be mine. I found that the justice system does not treat everyone equally under the law, and that law enforcement officials are extremely short on scruples and integrity. Dave worked effectively under these constraints and achieved the best possible outcome for me - in short, I am a free man. I would wholeheartedly recommend David Zellis to anyone needing legal representation along what most certainly has become a rather bumpy road through the courts.

Mr. Zellis represented me on a 2 separate cases for Driving while on dui suspension from 2016. The typical outcome of that is a mandatory 60 days jail sentence for each. I had just came home from state prison after being already incarcerated and had gotten my life together only to find out I may have to go back. Mr. Zellis met me at my home and diligently went over every detail and aspect of my life to present the best possible picture of how much I have changed to the court. When we got to court he was there before me waiting with a smile on his face. He, himself was able to convince the police officer who issued the citations that a 4 time convicted felon with a long history of drug addiction and poor decision making has made a change for the better and that he should drop the charges to a lesser ticket with no jail time. Needless to say the police officer reduced my charges on both infractions to Failure to Admin License which holds no points, no further suspension and was only a 150$ fine. Mr. Zellis was the best lawyer I have ever had and if I had only met him sooner maybe I would have never done the amount of time I had for previous crimes. He is an outstanding person, not just a lawyer. As a person he is incredible, than you add the intelligence and expertise with his determination to help those who need it the most, and you get this superhero of a lawyer. My Grandmother cried happy tears after this court hearing because it was the last hearing I ever have to attend because of the dedication Mr. Zellis put into my case. Truly the best lawyer I have ever had.

Mr. Zellis is absolutely a great attorney and one who cares about his clients. He is not your typical 8-5 attorney. If he knows and feels that your case civil or criminal is worth fighting, you will get an honest answer without hesitation. Your money is valuable and he won't take advantage of you and treats your case as if it's a family member of his he is fighting for. I was recommend by a close person to me that Mr. Zellis knows the law and is good at his job and I was able to see for myself. I will recommend him to anyone and if i ever need his services again, I will contact him.

When I was arrested and charged with several Felony and Misdemeanor Counts regarding alleged Falsifying of Documents Subject to A Firearms Transfer Application I was Dumfounded, Shocked, and Fearful! I knew in my Heart and Mind that I had not lied on the forms and that I was Innocent, however, The PA State Police had a different version of the story to tell and were all too happy to be Prosecuting me. After much research on my part about the nature of the charges and the seriousness of their repercussions from a criminal stand point I decided to exert the same energy in researching Criminal Defense Attorneys in Bucks County. I spoke to friends as well and one had mentioned David Zellis as a Reputable Attorney and "Great Guy". After speaking with a few on the phone I then made a call to Mr. Zellis who answered via his Cellular and asked me why I was calling. I explained to him that I was in a heap of trouble and very frightened. He was heading back to his office and invited me to meet him there straight away. I agreed and this decision turned out to be the best decision I have ever made in my life. From the moment he shook my hand in introduction Mr. Zellis put me at perfect peace and ease. His confidence in his ability to offer me the best possible defense to my matter(s) where only 2nd to his taking the time to see I was scared and experiencing high levels of anxiety which he as a Human Being not an Attorney addressed first. Then he listened to my story and our 1/2 hr consultation turned into an 1 hr 45 min meeting. He outlined a preliminary plan of defense verbally that he said we would later work on together throughout the time we spent together. I will never forget what he last said to me as I departed his office that day 11 months ago, "Doug, I can guarantee you this, you will not spend One Day in Jail". My process was drawn out time wise to to several continuances via both sides but through that time I got to meet Dave's right hand man, or should I say woman Linda, his Paralegal and other members of his dedicated staff. I watched my case file grow from one thin folder into a stack of documents, research, and legal papers over a foot and a half high off his desk. Their "Can-Do" attitude and willingness to go the extra mile on my behalf coupled with their sensitive nature and genuine empathy towards my plight as a Human Being continued to sooth my forebodings throughout the entire process. Dave represented me at My Preliminary Hearings, as well as, My Formal Arraignments both at The District Court and The Common Pleas Level with a Degree of Tact, Professionalism, and Fervor that way exceeded my expectations. Then that fateful day came here recently this March of 2019 when my trial commenced. There were three days of testimony which Mr. Zellis shouldered with the accuracy of a Franchise NFL Quarterback never missing an opportunity to expose holes in the Prosecutions Theory(s). He put on a Defense when it came time to present our side of the facts that amazed even me and I knew some but not all of what was coming. He and his dedicated Staff really did their due diligence in researching Case Law regarding the particulars of my situation and it played well with the Judge in the matter. And then, as quickly as the trial started, you could only imagine my utter shock and profound happiness when I heard the Judge state, as of matter of factly as he knew how, those five words every innocent Man/Woman defending themselves in a Criminal Matter wants to hear, "NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES"! These people had saved my life, I shook in excitement and hugged this man thanking him for what he did for me. I was a free man! My world began to look livable again through their best efforts. This meant a lot to me as I was facing upwards of 7 yrs. in State Prison in the Aggravated Sentencing Range. I would recommend the Legal Services of The Law Offices of David William Zellis, Esq. to ANY Criminal Defendant Facing Charges! Thanks, Dave!

Dave has been excellent from the day I met him over 7 years ago. He has given me free consultation anytime I’ve needed him and has taken time out of his personal life to answer my questions. In the courtroom, he has exposed weaknesses from the DA’s trying to come down with harsh penalties that didn’t even apply to me. Personally, he has helped turned my life around from being a nuisance to being apart of a community and having a purpose in life. Dave isn’t a “take your money and run” type of lawyer. He really does care!

I was referred to Dave by my uncle who is a police officer that worked with him for years about a DUI I was charged with. Dave took me through everything step by step and answered every question along the way. He never promised me the moon & stars, but he did deliver on everything he said he would do. I would hire Dave again without a doubt, but I don't plan on getting in trouble again. Once is enough for me. However I will recommend him to anyone.

I am very grateful we had Dave as our attorney in this time of intense crisis. I have such respect for him and felt confidence in his knowledge throughout the process.

David was the best decision I made after a 2nd DUI charge in Pennsylvania.

Mr. Zellis is a flat out professional. He had a plan of action and he followed it to a T. He told me there would be 3 scenarios. He got me the best case scenario and now my record will be wiped clean. I am very thankful for Dave and all he did for me. When I got nervous or worried he assured me that I would be taken care of and I was. He stayed cool, calm and collective and didn't get flustered one bit. I would recommend Mr. Zellis to anyone!

From the start, David was very interested in my case and was determined to help me set things right. At our consultation he was honest, insightful and beyond helpful with advice on subjects that I knew very little about. He already had a plan of action and helped me weigh out every possible outcome to help me understand what the end result may be. I was so confident in him that I hired him within the hour of our first consultation. His knowledge helped us in court and helped guide me in my everyday life! I liked his ethics so much that I had a very close family member of mine hire him for her legal needs as well. He has been a light in our dark times and we are ever so grateful that he came so highly recommended by multiple friends of mine. David made this process so much smoother than the rocky road that I was headed down before I met him. He kept my head on straight, my woes at bay and was available for input and assistance whenever I needed him. What a relief it has been to have David on my side!

I was arrested and charged with D.U.I. after driving through a D.U.I. checkpoint. I felt I had been treated unjustly during the incident and wanted to fight the charges. So after digging around on the Internet and getting some suggested names from a colleague, I found Mr. Zellis and I'm very glad I did. Dave listened to my story and stayed completely unbiased even though I had a prior D.U.I./ARD from years ago. Together we built the case based on all the facts and Dave fought hard to prove that my constitutional rights had been violated. After filing a motion to suppress, the Judge ruled in my favor and all charges were dismissed with no appeal from the state!
Dave is a wonderful lawyer, well connected in the county, professional, courteous, highly skilled and, last but not least, an all around great guy. I would highly recommend his services to any friend in need!

Dave Zellis is a great attorney. I received a traffic citation after being in a car accident. As we live in a litigious society, I was worried about how the ticket and points would affect not only my driving record, but the possibility of a civil suit in the future.
Dave, with his professionalism and knowledge, was able to reduce my traffic citation to a lesser offense with no points. He genuinely cares for your problem and works hard to secure the best possible outcome for you.
If you think it's not worth fighting a traffic ticket, think again and hire Dave.

I cannot begin to explain how grateful I am to have had David Zellis represent me. I myself am a recovering addict and was recommended to him by a fellow recovering addict. Due to my lifestyle I built up quite a few problems before I sought out a clean and sober life. Thanks to David Zellis, the judge was shown that I have been working to change myself for the better and become a contributing part of society. Since the day I met him he was very straight forward with me in regards to what I had to do on my part. He fought tooth and nail for me. Using the numerous acquaintances he had made through his years in the field he managed to get me the best possible outcome. If you want an attorney who will fight for you as much as you are willing to fight for yourself then there is no one I would recommend besides this man. My charges went from felonies to misdemeanor's because he convinced the judge to place my destiny back in my own hands.

I wish I could give 10 stars! I was assaulted by my soon to be ex who scratched me to hell and pushed me down the stairs. I went for a restraining order against her and surprise she said I hit her, and I was subsequently charged with assault and harassment. David cared, talked me off the ledge, didn't over promise, but set me at ease. I was adamant not to take a plea (they would drop assault and give probation on harassment). David didn't push me one way or the other, but was completely supportive in my decision for a trial. He was amazing at trial, setting up my ex in lie after lie, destroying her credibility, and getting evidence admitted after hours of arguments from the state not to allow it. "Not guilty" on all counts was the verdict. Regarding finances, David is quite reasonable, even generous. The state didn't show up to the preliminary hearing and the charges were initially dismissed. When the state re-filed the charges David did not charge me a penny for the second hearing...I understand you could argue that either way, I was pleased I didn't have to. David is a stand up guy and great attorney. If you're reading this and don't retain his services allow me to say "told you so" now!

As they say; there is no second chance to make a first impression...and when I first walked into David's office I felt more and more confident as we spoke ,and it felt like while everybody are still looking this person already's found.. Truly, he did not have to proof his success or dominance, it was simply there.
When I got my first DUI charges I felt anxious and scared, anticipating upcoming events. As we know , a good lawyer would play critical role in resolving this. I received numerous letters from different attorneys , offering help, but decided to find one by references, because as many of us, could not effort to make a mistake. David W. Zellis was recommended to me by another attorney as a knowledgeable, experienced lawyer with a great reputation. It was enough for me to get things started.
To my surprise, David's office looked extremely simple, even old fashion but with all necessary technology present, however. If you can imagine a dental office with normal chairs, where doctors dressed casually and there is no specific smell of medicine, that's would be the closest comparison coming to my mind. That time and all other times I met with David, he was available right away and I did not have to wait in a lobby. Also, I do not recall speaking him on a cell phone, while conversing with me. When I was explaining to David in great details what happened, I suspected that he already knew all the answers and outcomes of this situation. He was patient and paid a lot of attention to what I said, even though I was emotional and could repeat facts twice or so. After my speech he carefully examined all the documents and introduced me to some key points of a legal system regulations in my case. David pointed out to all things , which needed to be done and accomplished on my behalf . I sensed that the way he presented all the laws and procedures, regarding this matterwas logical, understandable and justified. At some point I was somewhat great-full that sort of punishment finally came to me because we are believed to live in a society, which protects. The whole process of my recovery was sour-sweet ,or so to speak, and changed my attitude to the law. David"s personality and special care opened a new path to a legal system before me. I realized that the legal system is connected with our life so organically and naturally and if introduced correctly can be interpreted as a great supportive tool in every day life. Also, David was very supportive, by understanding how people in my situation might feel and even act, anticipating what might happen, by checking on me and reminding me what needs to be done over and over again.
To conclude, I can say that having this person in my life was a great and unique experience. David is an individual whose opinion you would want to know ,and in a difficult situation you would ask, what would this guy say about this??? I would highly recommend David as lawyer of a high caliber , having a self discipline and keeping his standards up all the time.

We wanted to take a brief moment to express our appreciation to you for the superb professional legal assistance that you provided to our son. At a time when his options seemed inadequate, you gave all of us hope, level-setting our expectations and ultimately delivering a reasonable resolution.

You probably hear this a lot, but we were uncertain where to turn to. With no previous experience to draw on that required the enlistment of a qualified defense attorney, we were reduced to scanning the yellow pages randomly. We were fortunate to have been given a personal reference that led our son to your practice. In retrospect, we have found you to have been everything as advertised and exceeding our experience.

We wish you a warm, safe and enjoyable holiday season. And thank you once again for your invaluable assistance.
