Houston, TexasCriminal Defense AttorneyDavid Adler, P.C.Request a Consultation
My Experience
There are very few attorneys who have extensive experience handling federal criminal cases. I've handled more than 960 cases in federal court. Many attorneys claim they have federal experience but actually have handled very few cases (sometimes none). Go to PACER.gov and enter any attorney's name to see how many cases he or she has actually handled.
Be careful about hiring an attorney who spends more time on advertising and marketing than on fighting for clients. Call me for a free consultation about your situation (713) 666-7576. If I'm not the right attorney for you, I'll provide you with a list of competent, reasonably priced attorneys who may be able to help you.

Testimonials
My Fed case held a max 30yr for a kilo of cocaine. David told me I would likely get 33 months. I got sentenced to 30 months in 2015, home by 2016, and he kept his word and submitted paperwork to get me off supervised release early in April 2018. He gave me the best advice and worked diligently to get me home to my kids ASAP. Unbeknownst to me, David also got a court order that allowed me to pump milk for my child. So, if you're looking for someone who truly cares and will go above and beyond the scope of his job, David is the best attorney for you. He is beyond outstanding and will do his best to get you no time or as little as possible.
I was very nervous getting a lawyer appointed by the court because I figured they wouldn't be as invested as a paid attorney would be. Needless to say, I was wrong. My Fed case held a max 30yr for a kilo of cocaine. David told me I would likely get 33 months. I got sentenced to 30 months in 2015, home by 2016, and he kept his word and submitted paperwork to get me off supervised release early in April 2018.

I got arrested by the feds on a 51 kilo cocaine case. Adler initially got the charges dismissed, but the feds came back... Adler got me a bond, and fought the case hard. I ended up with a sentence of 12 months and a day. 51 kilos... If you have a criminal case and Adler is not your lawyer, you are making a big mistake.
Very attentive and sensitive to case handling. Always stays up with me on court dates and even sends a reminder text message. Very professional in handling my case... He has gone above and beyond. Very good attorney.
David Adler is the best federal lawyer to represent you in Houston, Texas... David is known by many within the community for his outstanding service, impeccable work ethic and delivering positive outcomes for his clients...
David addressed my concerns about business issues, threatened lawsuits, and inability to pay debts as my business collapsed... I will not hesitate to consult him or hire him in the future, and recommend him without reservation.
David is awesome. A true professional in all aspects of my business with him. He freely gives advice, always returns calls promptly, and certainly knows motor vehicle law. I can't thank him enough for all he did!
I was recommended to Mr. Adler through a family member when I was a victim of fraud... Any questions I had he answered and he provided great feedback and ways to handle "what if" scenarios.
