Pat did an unbelievable job, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer. The process was smooth and efficient. I truly think he will find the best outcome for any client!

I'm taking the time to write this for two reasons: Out of gratitude to Pat for his hard work and guidance on a matter that could have significantly impacted my future and because I believe many people have little, other than reviews like this, to help them make the important choice of a defense attorney. What stands out from my experience working with Pat is his honesty, his empathy, and his responsiveness. He gave me thorough, transparent assessments of my situation as it evolved and seemed to have an excellent understanding of the Prosecutor's perspective - a big advantage to any defense. He is an attentive and empathetic listener, and I always left our conversation feeling that Pat had control of the situation, a good action plan for whatever might unfold and - always - my best interests at heart. If he wasn't immediately available, Pat always returned my calls promptly and quickly addressed any concern I had. In the end, my case had a very favorable outcome - much better than I had initially expected. In my view, the experience of working with Pat could not have been better. While I hope to never need his services again, I trust and have great confidence in Pat. I can recommend him unequivocally and very enthusiastically.

This law office was easy to deal with, kept us updated the entire time, and successfully got our traffic case dismissed. Highly recommend.

This would've been my second excess of 100mph charge. After the first one I got when I was 18 I didn't wanna find out what a second offense would be like. License suspension, $1000 fine, 3 points on my record I didn't wanna take a chance. I called David met him at his office for a consultation. I decided he's the guy for the job. The day of the hearing he calls me while I'm at home and tells me the good news. Case dismissed! I couldn't belive it. Mr.Dastrup, going forward will be the attorney I would recommend to friends and family as well as for me if I run into trouble again.

I got a speeding ticket on a street near my house. It was my first ticket in 7 years, so I assumed that I could go to traffic school to avoid having the ticket appear on my record; but when I logged on to the court website to pay my ticket, it said that traffic school was not available to me. I found out that the speed recorded on the ticket was 1 mph more than the amount permitted for traffic school. So I looked online to see if there was a traffic ticket lawyer in my area that might be able to request traffic school for me. I called the office of David Dastrup, in Long Beach, and left a message with the receptionist. Mr. Dastrup called me back right away and answered all of my questions. I told him that this was my first ticket in 7 years, and he explained to me that the amount of time between tickets wouldn’t help me in court; he said that many people go for a long time before getting a ticket… it doesn’t always mean they didn’t speed the entire time… it just means they hadn’t been caught yet. He did say that he might be able to request traffic school and possibly even lower the fine a bit. I told him that I was only concerned with keeping the ticket off of my record, and not really that concerned about the fine. The fee he quoted me for his services was much lower than I expected, so I jumped at the chance. Mr. Dastrup has an online portal for sending/receiving documents and for messaging, and he was very good about keeping me updated on my case, via the portal. After my trial (which I did not need to attend), Mr. Dastrup called me and told me that he was able to get the judge to lower the speeding amount so I could go to traffic school, AND he took almost 2/3rds off of the fine amount! I couldn’t believe it; I thought for sure that I would end up with the ticket on my record for years, and that I would be saying to myself, “Well, at least I tried.” I could never have accomplished this without the help and expertise of Mr. Dastrup. Thanks to him, the results were above and beyond what I expected. Mr. Dastrup is very knowledgeable, friendly, a good listener, great with maintaining communication, and charges very reasonable fees. Highly recommended!

Attorney Mathew Ruff is not just an excellent lawyer but a very kind and patient person. My experience working with Mr. Mathew Ruff was excellent. In 2007, he gave my case all the time and attention that was needed in to be successful in court. He was calming and assuring during every court proceeding. He helped me get back to my normal life and for this I will always be very grateful. Recently, I needed assistance in understanding some legal documents and he was more than helpful in providing me all the details so I could successfully complete my paperwork. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received from Mr. Ruff and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to my friends and family in the event they need legal assistance. Thank you again Mr. Ruff!

Atty David handled 2 of my cases. 1st case turned out to have a very good result "Case Dismissed" and the 2nd we didnt got lucky but the way Atty David handled the case turned out to be good. The traffic fee was reduced and the professional fee Atty even refunded me big portion of it. Overall the service and result is good. Thank you very much Atty David Joae Lim

David was extremely responsive, professional and an overall great guy. To my surprise, he also got my case dismissed. You can’t do better than that! Outstanding!

Pat helped me with my case the fastest and the most efficient way possible, anticipating all scenarios due to his great experience on the matter needed. But more importantly he gave me an honest assesment of reality which in my case gave me the peace of mind I needed, knowing that as long as we do our part everything should work out just the way it suppose to, can't thank him enough. I hope more pepople get his profesional help, this is an attorney that will definetely help you all along the way!

long overdue review, but got any traffic court related issues? citations, court dates, random questions regarding your concern at hand? ask this lawyer! Mr.Dastrup has been giving great advice since day one and has also helped me through a couple traffic mishaps, withOUT any hiccups. i trust him and so should you!

Go to David Dastrup! He accomplished a miracle for me. I had four tickets all in warrant status at three courthouses. It was overwhelming. David Dastrup took over and handled all four tickets without me ever going to court . YES ! I could now get my driver's license because my warrants were cleared. The tickets were dismissed or resolved for a small fine. I was updated along the way via e-mail. Mr. Dastrup's fees were so reasonable too. Lower then the total cost of the tickets. Give him a call. He can get things done that you can't get done yourself!
