Federal crimes are crimes against the United States. All crimes are serious, no matter your background or history. But when you are charged by the United States government with a federal offense, you are going to need an experienced and professional attorney. Federal crimes are usually punished more severely than state crimes, particularly when there are minimum mandatory penalties implicated.
People charged with alien smuggling in the United States may face severe penalties in federal court. Ultimately, a federal sentence can vary from diversion, to a misdemeanor, to a federal felony with minimum mandatory penalties. The recent crackdown on illegal immigration has federal and local law enforcement officials on high alert for people illegally smuggling aliens on U.S. soil.

David was professional, friendly, reliable, and went out of his way to meet at a time that worked for us. He was very honest from the start and his sense of humor really made us feel comfortable and at peace during a moment of extreme stress and commotion. He really worked with us even when we hired him at very short notice. We could not be happier with the outcome he helped us achieve. He is a true professional, we have nothing but great things to say about him. You will not regret your decision to work with him.

I was put in life changing situation, incarcerated, and assigned to the worst public defender. I knew I had to hire the best lawyer to help prove my innocence! I spoke to a couple of lawyers, and after meeting with David I knew he was the lawyer I needed to help prove my innocence! He did the best work for me, and was able to get my case dismissed!!!! I thank God that I had David as my right hand during this terrible chapter in my life! Now I can move on with my life! No case is tough for David to help you through! He’s the best there is!

I don't usually write reviews, however in this instance I am glad to. I had David Silldorf assigned to me. I hadn't ever really been in as much trouble as I was facing. Never really had to deal with an attorney before... so my anxiety level was high. David was very professional, honest and straightforward. And he worked hard on my case and did get the best options for me. Hindsight 20/20... I regret not taking some of his early advice. Had I then, I would've been better off earlier in my case. Instead of some bad decisions (on my part) my case drew out. When I finally got wise and decided to take

I met with Mr. David Sildorf a little over a year ago, I was scared and facing some serious charges. We met and he proceeded to get to work on my case right away. He got me the best deal, we didn't even think was possible, and kept in contact with me throughout the whole time, he made me feel safe and secure and assured me I was making the right decisions. If your looking for a lawyer that actually cares and who will do everything in his power to get you the best deal there is call Mr.Sildorf, I promise you wont regret it!

I would like to give a 5yr update. All the blessings I have today, would not have happen if I would have lost my case. I was extremely lucky to get Mr. Silldorf, to represent me, not only winning my federal case, he got me exonerated. I have no felonies on my record. I thank him for giving me a second opportunity, a clean slate, to do better. And I did. I am running the bar where I work, I was able to get a liquor license. I keep achieving all my goals I set for myself. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Mr. Silldorf.

David represented my daughter recently. He was very professional yet always available for questions. In court he came prepared and determined to get the best outcome for my daughter. He took her step by step through the sentencing process and was understanding to her anxiety. I would definitely recommend David Silldorf to anyone who has need of a criminal attorney.

It was a pleasure working with attorney David Richard Silldorf. Thanks to the help of David I was not convicted because he was able to dismiss my case. I was in a really bad position and pictured I had no way out from serving jail time. Working with David was a blessing due to his great communication skills, integrity and honesty throughout my case process. I have a lot of respect for David forever thankful and 100% recommend.

I contacted 12 lawyers when I was on my hunt for attorneys David being one of them. When I met him i automatically knew he was serious I just had this intuition he was different then the other lawyers I had previously met with he was dressed casual, not trying to hard you can say which is what stood out to me. I decided to hire him the very next day. I was looking at 10 years possibly with a drug charge. He got me down to a cash bulk smuggling charge then a false start charge, I pleaded guilty to the false statement charge and he got me time served I had only done about a month and 3 months on

I'll keep the review short- If you want a defense attorney who is a fighter who doesn't quit, especially in the end when it's easy to get tired, choose David. He's expensive and worth it. Take out a loan, as a friend to help- just get him. He's smart, sharp and very perceptive. The best attorney in San Diego by far. A real fighter.

Even after my case was dismissed. And some time has passed, Mr. Silldorf has reached out to me to help me get back personal property of mine that was seized during my arrest. He has gone above and beyond any other lawyer I've known of. And I am truly appreciated of his continued help.

Fortunately, I have never needed a criminal defense attorney and I hope not to. But if that day were ever to come, I would hire David without hesitation. I have seen David in action both in and out of court. He is a tenacious trial lawyer. He is sharp, aggressive, and always willing to go the extra mile; it is clear that he truly cares for his clients and the outcome of their matters. In my estimation, his clients are lucky to have him in their corner. I know I'd want him in mine---no questions asked.
