David's kindness and understanding made me feel very comfortable to discuss my issues and needs very openly with him, and in return, he provided his legal knowledge and action to help sort out my dilemma. With his service, my case was resolved with ease, and sooner than I anticipated. Unlike other attorneys, he always remembered to follow up, give me updates, and answer any of my concerns within a reasonable time, if not immediately. Anyone who is serious about getting their legal issues in order, or may only need legal advice, you must reach out to David. Highly recommended!

Words cannot express our gratitude to David and Marks Team for all their help in getting our son out of a tough situation. David worked tirelessly to get the best deal for our family throughout this ordeal. He explained all options and answered all our questions even on weekends. He made a first potential offer from the Prosecutors Office of 50 month State sentence to a plea with no time. Professionalism and Communication would be his best attributes.

All I need to say is; Took my 5 year sentence to a 6 month sentence. Thank you David

I approached David with a very tricky and difficult case, He heard me fully and understood the criticality and sensitivity of the situation very quickly. He strategized my case and applied his full technical knowledge and cleared me out of the situation very smoothly, Making it look like very easy. He is not only having high experience but also very intelligent and having high network in lawyers community. I highly recommend him.

David helped me fight two felony charges (vandalism). After the arrest, and after calling his office, he spoke to me over the phone (while he was on vacation, no less!): he was calm and reassuring, answering questions while being clear about the paths the case could take. We met a few times before the initial hearing, and David was very clear about the necessary next steps to craft a legal defense, setting my nerves at ease. He knows how to navigate the court system, so was able to accurately predict how the case was able to unfold. Both charges were eventually dismissed, after a thorough case to the prosecutor and judge. Even the judge told me to thank David for a well-crafted defense. I could not be more satisfied with the outcome. David is clever, attentive to detail, and an exceptional attorney. Do not hesitate to contact him if you need a defense attorney!

In the case of armed robbery, prosecutor was set to transfer the matter to adult court, the case stayed in juvenile and the sentence was probation. Very grateful

I hired David as my federal criminal defense attorney in a fentanyl drug case. David was an excellent attorney and was very involved in my case. The minimum sentence for my case started at 108 months. He went above and beyond to look for ways in which we could lower the minimum sentence, he was able to have the court lower my sentence to 24 months rather than the 108 months. I am very pleased with David’s work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs criminal defense especially in a federal case.

I’ve been working with David on a federal case for the last couple of months. He did an amazing job at keeping me informed with everything going on with my case. He would lay out various possible outcomes but he went above and beyond to look for the best ways to help my case. He always made himself available to answer all my questions and concerns. David is well respected in the courthouse. He is very professional and caring. He would always find a way to help myself and my family feel more at ease as we faced a difficult situation. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family who need a criminal defense attorney. He gets very involved with his clients and their case and is always looking for the best possible outcome for his clients.

I worked with David over the last few months after having been charged with a fourth degree felony. This was my first, and hopefully last, experience with police and Courts. I was distraught but, from our first meeting, David calmly explained that the situation was not the worst case I was imagining, and he laid out the various possible outcomes and timelines. He was always available to answer any question relating to my case at any time via phone or email. I believe I got the best possible outcome given my circumstances(including a PTI). I don't think this outcome was easy to obtain and I think it was due to David's ceaseless efforts that he was able to achieve this end result for me. He personally believed in my case and took a lot of time and effort to work with the prosecutor to achieve the end result. During court times, it becomes obvious, in court with the judges and during his inter-actions with the prosecutors, that David is well liked, well known and respected and has a ton of experience in his profession. He was well prepared and in full command of the case in Court. Above all, both for me personally, and observing him interact with his other clients, I got the sense that David really, really cares for clients and he sees a successful outcome for them as his success. I owe David so much. I hope it doesn't, but should the need arise, I would unhesitatingly recommend David to any friend or family requiring the services of a criminal defense attorney. If you need representation, you can't do better than having David on your side.

When i got referred to Mr. Oakley back in 2014 from a personal friend, i already knew i was in good hands. Mr.Oakley heard my story about me traveling from Florida with a firearm and getting arrested in New Jersey , he quickly jumped on the case. He’s been working with me for almost 5yrs and we finallly got the gr eatest outcome ALLOWING THE PROSECUTOR TO ENROLL ME INTO PTI!!! It’s been a lot of back and forth over the years from being denied PTI twice, to Apellaet court arguments and back to back court appearances. Once he first called me about the good new in February, i can tell by the tone of his voice that everything was coming to a close. I am grateful for having him on my side over these past years and i would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH MR. OAKLEY!!!! Myself and my family really do appreciate you and the hard work you’ve put into it.

David was on top of things from the first phone call. He put my mind at ease everytime I talked to him. He was prompt and efficient in all aspects, even going out of his way to get documents that would help my case. He had a presence in the courtroom you would not believe and you could tell he is highly respected among the prosecutors and judges. Mr. Oakley was able to walk into court with a felony charge hanging over my head and turn it into a small fine with the condition of good behavior. Hope I never need a criminal lawyer again but if I do I won’t need to look any further then David Oakley. Thanks again David!

Has helped with most of my cases and always gets me out of a pinch! Really good lawyer and does excellent work!
