Client Testimonials
If you’re looking at reviews trying to find the right representation then your search should end here. I too looked at many reviews from many different lawyers and found his reviews from not only his clients but from his peers to be highly impressive. I gathered from my research that Mr. Putzi is a highly respected criminal defense attorney and now I definitely know why. I can only try and do the same and add my experience so others may benefit from his expertise. I can not recommend Mr. Putzi enough. I called his office on a holiday not knowing if they would even be open. Not only were they open but he answered the phone himself and scheduled be an appointment for consultation that same day. I met with him and what I found was a hardworking, highly competent caring individual that I knew I could not only trust but would do the best that they could do for me. He was upfront on what I should expect but he told me I was in good hands and boy was he ever right. At court he told me what he we should do and I completely trusted him. He not only delivered but got me more than I ever expected or even probably deserved. Do yourself a favor and stop looking because you have truly found the person to represent you.
J.F. (Multiple Offender DUI; DWI)
I have often thought, “how on earth could my family show appreciation for the efforts of David Putzi and his colleagues?” Maybe giving a heart-felt thank you is a start. Our young adult child was accused of a crime he did not commit and we went to trial. From the moment he took our case, David Putzi worked tenaciously to guide us through the deep lows, and the twists and turns of the legal system. My son spent only one night in jail and was returned to his family to await trial, all because of Mr. Putzi’s strong suggestions at that hearing. Our time in dealing with this case stretched to two full years from accusation to trial. Throughout, Mr. Putzi was always respectful and encouraging. He was steady. He was our “rock.” Not only was he good to us, his trial strategy left no doubt that my son was innocent and the prosecution’s argument was filled with holes. He was found not guilty. During the chaotic trial, his colleague even joined us for support. Tha nk you to the Law Office of Fischer and Putzi. You always had our back.
M.H. (Son Charged with Rape and Sexual Offenses)
Mr. Putzi represented me in a case that I did not commit. I was facing 5 felonies that he had dropped to 2 misdemeanors and with his professional knowledge and understanding he had all charges dropped. The outcome of my case was more than I could ever have wished for. I didn't have a record never ever been in trouble. I would recommend Mr. Putzi to anyone who found themselves in trouble. His assistant Angela is a wonderful caring person who made my grandmother feel comfortable whenever she would call about the case. Words cannot express what this law firm did for me and my family.
J.B. (Child Abuse; Assault)
Best Lawyer in the State of Maryland. I had to privilege to be represented by David in my legal matter regarding 4 charges of unauthorized removal of motor vehicles. David’s calm demeanor and sincere concern about my case was amazing. I felt totally confident in his judgment and ability to deliver on what he said, I had been dealing with this case for 33 months and had dealt with a few lawyers before sitting down with David. Let me tell you now there is NO COMPARISON. David is amazing and worth every $. If you need help this is your guy. Don’t shop around. Find David. He was able to clear me of all charges and now I can move forward with my life. David you are amazing and I appreciate you
A.W. (Theft; Car Theft; Unauthorized Use)
I cannot thank Mr. Putzi and his team enough. They were professional, thorough, responsive, and provided the understanding and reassurance I needed as it pertained to my case. After initially making calls to various defense attorneys and not being satisfied with their response or the lack thereof, a friend recommended Mr. Putzi. Upon our first conversation I knew I made the right choice. There are a lot of options out there, however, I highly recommend this firm.
T.J. (DUI; DWI)
Let me just say this , if you want a peace of mind, Go with Fisher & Putzi . They’re like Shaq and Kobe , they really don’t miss! Great communication! Provides comfort! Do not second guess yourself , please! Stay safe and stay blessed!
J.T. (Theft)
Mr Putzi is a gifted lawyer with an incredible skill set. He’s thorough, organized, and knowledgeable. When you hire him you get a professional legal advocate with years of experience fighting for you. But even more importantly, he really cares about his clients. What he did for us in the courtroom was excellent. What he did for us out of the courtroom was priceless. I’ve dealt with many lawyers in my life but I’ve never found one that continually teaches young people some very important life lessons. If you’re in need of a professional legal advocate, he’s the man. You don't need to "lawyer shop." This is the guy. We will forever be thankful.
C.J. (Father on Daughter Charged with DUI; DWI)
Working with Mr. Fischer was an absolute pleasure and breath of fresh air. His legal acumen and superior polish was noticeable when stacked against other attorneys. He also has a “down to Earth” quality that is refreshing. Would not hesitate in contacting him first for any legal guidance or representation. First Class!!!
P.S. (Domestic Violence; Assault; False Imprisonment)
I highly recommend David Putzi and only wish I had hired him sooner. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear- he told me what I needed to hear and for that I am very grateful. His assistant Angie helped answer all of my questions and made me feel reassured every step of the way.
T.P. (DUI; DWI)
Mr.Putzi is a lawyer who cares and he has a team that's dedicated. If you want your case cleared or settled by the best. You definitely want to give them a call!
R.H. (Domestic Violence; Assault)
I used Mr. Putzi to obtain a necessary protective order. I found him to not only be extremely competent and knowledgeable but felt his reputation and report were extremely beneficial in the court arena. I would absolutely use him in the future.
R.S. (Protective Order)
David did an amazing job with my case he was on top of everything. Before meeting with him I was a bit scared but after talking with him he calmed my nerves and ensured that everything would be fine. He is a man of his word and I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great lawyer. Kim and Angie were also very nice and were very helpful.
W.T. (Domestic Violence; Assault)
David P. Putzi is an amazing individual to work with. He’s very down to earth and upfront and honest about your odds. In Dec 2022 I was charged with a DUI with little to no evidence to support the claim. After acquiring the services of Mr. Putzi the entire process was very smooth and I felt informed and taken care of the entire time. When Mr. Putzi came in the day of my trial I could tell he had done his research. He cited a previous case similar to mine that leaned heavily in my favor. He meticulously picked apart all allegations against me and completely shut them down. It honestly felt like I was in a movie, it was a superb performance. I was found not guilty of all charges besides a speeding ticket. I even got a probation before judgement for the speeding ticket itself. I couldn’t of asked for a better outcome! I had a big move coming up and this win was a huge weight off my shoulders. I couldn’t be more thankful for the help I received from Mr. Putzi.
J.M. (DUI; DWI)
I am writing to offer my sincere recommendation for David Putzi. We required an attorney to help represent my juvenile son. I have 4 friends that own their own law firms. Some of which have worked with David. All of them referred me to David with great confidence. David represented us not only with great confidence and professional...but with compassion. Proactively communicating and advising us every step of the way. The end result was a very positive outcome. Thank you, David.
R.K. (Son Charged with Sexual Assault)
Mr. Putzi did a amazing job with my case recently. When we first met he said he would try his best to win my case for me but didn’t make any promises. Mr.Putzi did what he said he would do and had my case dismissed I appreciate the work he did for me.
J.S. ((DUI; DWi)
Mr. Putzi is an excellent lawyer that shoots from the hip tells it like it is. Reasonably priced to work with your budgetary constraints. An absolute wizard in court with expert knowledge of the letter of the law. I highly recommend Mr. Putzi for your criminal attorney needs.
E.W. (Assault)
We were very impressed by Mr. Putzi's ability on the day of the charges, his clear understanding of the situation involved, his explanation of the way the system would work, and his guidance of the case through to an excellent outcome. He was great. Very highly recommended.
E.S. (Burglary; Trespassing)
My wife totaled a car one dark, rainy night. She was charged with DWI, DUI, reckless driving, and four other counts. She had years before had a DUI for which she got probation before judgment (PBJ) on her record. David Putzi represented us -- he was my wife's choice because he expressed confidence in her and he was gentle. The state's case was based on the officer's observations and field tests and Mr Putzi laid out a strategy for countering these that was ultimately so successful that my wife got a PBJ on one lesser charge and both DWI and DUI were dismissed. No points. Highly recommend.
R.B. (DUI; DWI)
Mr. Putzi is very professional when it comes to evaluating the situation and identifying the real issues. When he handled my case, he gave me valuable suggestions from the initial consultation and offered me vital legal advice from his years of experience in criminal justice. He also kept excellent communication with me and it truly gave me confidence that I could expect the best possible outcome. Then, he knew exactly how to present and reveal the most important matters in the case so I wouldn't be a victim of a false accusation. I couldn't be any happier with the result. I would encourage everyone who really need an honest and fair lawyer to contact Mr. Putzi. He will make sure his clients will have the most amazing experience during the difficult time.
M.C. (Protective Order)
Fischer & Putzi make legal challenges less stressful to navigate through. Their expertise in the legal profession is second to none. I have worked with David Putzi and my experiences with him and the firm have always concluded with favorable results. If you find yourself in need of legal assistance I highly recommend Fischer & Putzi.
D.B. (CDS Possession; Assault; DUI; DWI)
Mr. Putzi has helped me and a number of family members throughout the years. I’m personally grateful for all he has done. This law firm is very professional and Mr. Putzi is my first phone call whenever I need legal assistance. Thank you 💙
S.M. (Multiple Illegal Driving Cases)
On behalf of my grandson and my family, it is with sincere appreciation of your professional, considerate handling of his case. The outcome was much more than I could have ever expected. Thank you! Angela, you are very kind, knowledgable lady and I have always felt comfortable speaking with you. Sincere appreciation!
S.J. (Grandmother of Client Charged with Child Abuse)
Mr. Putzi is a very professional lawyer. He is also extremely well educated and experienced in his field of criminal defense. I have achieved optimal outcomes in my cases where Mr. Putzi represented me. What sets Mr. Putzi apart is his genuine interest in his clients as well as their families. He shows nothing but the utmost care for his client's well-being. I am extremely happy with the services he has provided including his willingness to take phone calls and answer all questions. I have the utmost regard for Mr. Putzi and recommend his professional services and advise to others.
J. A-J. (Posession with Intent to Distribute CDS, CDS, CDS)
Mr. Putzi, Thank you so much for your hard work, compassion, and encouragement during my case. It has been a month and a half since my court date and I am happy to say i've remained sober. Without your expertise and belief in me, I might not be where I am today. I feel amazing thanks to sobriety and look forward to m new sober life, one day at a time.
J.P. (DUI, DWI)
Thanks Dave, you have been there for me a couple of times these past few years. Protecting me from bogus domestic violence charges from my crazy wife. I wouldn't hesitate hiring your services again. And I will pass your name on because of your professionalism in handling my cases!
C. D. (Domestic Violence – second degree assault & protective orders)
Mr. Putzi I am eternally grateful for the supreme service provided by your office. I was facing child assault charges for defending my daughter against bullies at her school. I made a very foolish mistake of trusting a longtime attorney whom handled my custody battles. I was not only facing criminal charges and to make matters worse my civil attorney told the judge that I wanted a jury trial. I quickly fired her and immediately phoned Mr. Putzi. I will never forget how fast he proceeded to help me. He immediately got me a court date to stop the jury trial so that my case would be sent back to district court. I won my case after a in the district court in front of a judge. I was found not guilty and that was huge. Mr. Putzi is brilliant in the courtroom, he handled my case with such assuredness and ease. I am very pleased at my outcome as a mother of three children. I am not sure that Mr. Putzi realizes how eternally grateful I am to him. My life is back to normal as I know it, my daughter who was bullied is in college now. I would be remiss if I did not say how honest and fair I believe him to be. I would not hesitate in referring this office to anyone. I was truly in the best hands when I chose this office. Thank you so much.
S. B. (Disturbing school activities)
David Putzi met with me to find out information regarding the event, collecting and organizing the information from the state and myself, deciding how to approach the case and forming a strategy that was explained to me. I was in the process of applying to school when I received my DUI. The result achieved enabled me to continue to pursue the program and successfully get into the program.I would refer the services of this law office. They were very organized and I found it easy to talk to both lawyers there. I truly believed they cared about my case and worked to achieve the best possible result for my case.
V.P. (DUI // DWI)
You advised me that based on the circumstances of my case, you were optimistic that you would achieve a positive outcome. And you did: you negotiated with the State’s Attorney and I was acquitted of the charge.
The result made a world of difference in my life. My job and main source of income depends on my being able to maintain a TOP SECRET security clearance and other security related accesses/permissions. If I had been found guilty or, really, anything other than the result you achieved for me (acquittal), I’m fairly certain I would have lost my security clearance and, therefore, my job. That would obviously have changed my life in a very negative way.
I recommend your law practice wholeheartedly. I’m not overstating it when I say that your efforts on my behalf “saved my life.” Any other outcome – other than what you achieved for me – would have drastically altered my lifestyle, as I would have lost my job and a lot more
S. M. (Domestic Violence – second degree assault)
Thank you for this opportunity to provide a review of my multiple experiences with this firm, and, in particular, Mr. Putzi.
I first used Mr.Putzi’s services 10 years ago and I have used him many times since. Mr. Putzi’s extensive knowledge and experience providing legal counsel helped me to work through the legal process for charges that included several felony charges, expungement of records, and significant speeding violations.
I found Mr. Putzi and his staff to be patient, thorough, and caring. They answered all my questions and dealt effectively with my fears and embarrassment. Mr. Putzi and his staff asked me to gather data, letters, etc. that would help my cases that, at first, I thought was possibly overkill but after going to court the first time I was really able to understand the need for the documentation and pre-trial classes.
The outcome reached through negotiations were very favorable due to Mr. Putzi’s knowledge of the laws and procedures, the respect he garners from his colleagues and the courts, and his way of saying what needs to be really heard by all parties was paramount in accomplishing the best outcomes possible. He also negotiated with the judge to allow me to go to long-term drug rehabilitation outside of Maryland – a real lifesaver!
The work provided by him and his staff helped me to get my life off a really destructive path, to recognize that I was a good person, and that I could, would and did make significant positive changes in my life. Thank you for all your support. I told my mom once that you never made me feel that you were there to “judge me” but that you were there to support me – you seemed to always know I could make changes…Thanks for that encouragement!
I would absolutely recommend that others utilize your services and I would again in a heartbeat. Hopefully though that will not be necessary as I am now on the right track and doing very well.
Thank you again for all that you have done, the advice and counsel, and the representation. You are a very special lawyer and man!
M. M. (Burglary, Theft, CDS, traffic, etc.)
I was facing a number of charges: Driving while under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by alcohol, Failure of vehicle driver to stop after unattended property damage, failure of vehicle drive in accident to locate and notify owner of unattended property damage, and failure to control speed on highway to avoid collision. To prepare for my court date I met with Mr. Putzi and we talked over what had happened and weighed the options. In preparation for court I obtained letters of character reference on my behalf, I attended alcohol and drug classes. Mr. Putzi reviewed my case and received a copy of the police report and advised me on the best approach. I met with Mr. Putzi the morning of the court date, he talked to the prosecutor and the prosecutor wanted me to admit guilt to a DUI. Mr. Putzi advised me not to accept the plea offeras there really wasn’t enough evidence against me to prove the charges. Ultimately, we plead guilty to a minor ticket(negligent driving) and all other charges were dropped. I was more the happy with this outcome! I would refer Mr. Putzi’s services and would definitely use his services again, although I hope I never need to.
K. B. (DUI / DWI)
My son was charged with underage drinking, speeding, and failure to control speed & vehicle to avoid an accident. During our first meeting, Mr. Putzi provided my son with detailed documentation, to include a list of local resources for counseling/treatment, which explained what your office would do for him and what he needed to do in order to lesson the charges he faced.
Approximately one week prior to my son's trial date, we were informed by Mr. Putzi that the court date and all charges except one minor ticket - failure to control speed to avoid an accident – would be dropped.
Prior to my son's charge, we had never before had to navigate through the legal system. If we had opted to forego legal assistance, I think the results would have been less favorable. The assistance Mr. Putzi provided from the bail review hearing to final charges lifted a burden from our shoulders and ultimately resulted in a final charge that did not have a negative effect/impact to my son's future.
I would most definitely refer people to your office. Even though my son was the guilty party, Mr. Putzi and the rest of the staff treated him professionally and with respect.
C.A. (Mother of DUI / DWI client)
I met with Mr. Putzi on two different occasions for DUI charges that I received; on both occasions, he met with me for an initial consultation. He allotted time for me to explain the circumstances that led to me getting pulled over and how these charges could effect my family and my career; and on the second occasion, my freedom because I was still on probation for the first DUI I received. He recorded information about my history--including my mistakes, but also my accomplishments. He documented endeavors that I pursued in efforts of achieving a better standard of life. He was very straight forward in providing an explanation of the charges, the penalties for those charges, the details about the services he could provide in this situation, things that could impact the outcome of my case, and the approximate costs of his services. After meeting with him and discussing the case(s) up to the trial date(s), I was confident in his abilities to represent me. Mr. Putzi is very personable and discussed these matters without judgment. He has outstanding communication and speaking skills, he's knowledgeable, as well as efficient in gathering information and putting a case together that produced very favorable outcomes in both occurrences. Unlike other attorneys, whose agenda is to gain additional clients and to build a larger income base, he cares about people and wants to do the best job possible in assisting his clients in legal matters. I would definitely recommend his services to family and friends.
J.J. (DUI / DWI; serious traffic; VOP; etc.)
From the beginning, Mr. Putzi had an immediate grasp of the material issues and provided a good explanation and comfort to me through this difficult matter. In court, Mr. Putzi had a command of the courtroom and legal issues, and developed a repore with the presiding judge. After a trial, with police officer testifying, I was acquitted of all DUI & DWI charges. The result provided a great sense of relief due to concerns over a conviction's impact on my occupational license and current employment. I am very thankful for Mr. Putzi's representation. I would definitely refer your services to others or use you again.
F.K. (DUI / DWI)
I contacted the law offices of Fischer and Putzi to defend my friend from false charges being placed on him by an ex-girlfriend. I could not have asked for a better experience. It was my first time in any situation dealing with courts and lawyers. My friend was faced with multiple assault charges over several different days. I met with Mr. Putzi and explained my situation. He didn’t hesitate to assist. All the charges have been dropped against my friend. Mr. Putzi was congenial, professional and consistently available through the process of all the cases. If any of my relatives, friends or acquaintances ever are in need of assistance you will be highly recommended by me.
D.P. (Domestic Violence – second degree assault; VOP; etc.)
I was arrested and charged with a DUI, DWI, DUI per se, and drinking under the legal age of 21, along with a few other petty charges the police officer decided to tack on. I was absolutely terrified of the possible consequences I was facing, so I thought it would be in my best interest to hire a lawyer. I hired Mr. David Putzi as my attorney for my court case because I was referred to him by a reliable source and I was most confident in his work. After meeting with him, he advised me to stay completely clean of all alcohol and any other illegal activity that could get me in a deeper hole. Mr. Putzi also recommended that I attend an alcohol education program. At my MVA hearing, Mr. Putzi plead my case very well and my only punishment at that time was an outright license suspension for 45 days, when I was facing a suspension of 7 ½ months. I was very pleased with that outcome, considering it could have been a lot worse.
On my trial date, after negotiating Mr. Putzi notified me that my DUI, DWI charges were being dropped, and I only had to plea guilty to the minor ticket of ‘negligent driving’ and pay a fine of 67.00 dollars, plus court costs. I was ecstatic after hearing this! I was afraid that I would be stuck with Interlock on my car, being forced to pay hundreds of dollars, not to mention the embarrassment it would cause to me. I also was afraid of having my license suspended again for a longer period of time, which would be extremely difficult on me considering I have to travel to school and work multiple times a day. I know that I made a huge mistake by getting behind the wheel after drinking, but I certainly did not want that on my record for the rest of my life. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. Although I got off easy this time, I have definitely learned my lesson and certainly do not wish to repeat this ever again! In the future, I would definitely use Mr. Putzi’s services again, but hopefully I won’t have to! I have already recommended him to a few of my friends who are in need of legal counsel, and I will continue to recommend him in the future.
K.W. (DUI / DWI / Underage License Restriction)
My husband and I would like to thank you with all of our heart for helping us and defending us with our criminal charges.
When we were notified by the State's Attorney's Office that we were the target of an investigation, up until the conclusion of the trial, you were always there for us. We knew we could call you at the office or home and you would always take the time to talk to us about our concerns and answer all of our questions.
We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Angie, Mr. Putzi's assistant, who ensured that Mr. Putzi received all of our telephone calls, coordinated our office meetings with Mr. Putzi, even on short notice, and assisted Mr. Putzi in keeping us informed every step of the way.
I don't think any other lawyer would of put as much time, effort and heart into defending a client you did. I know you believed in our innocence and you are a man with a good heart. You run your law firm with honesty, heart and sincerity, not just for the money.
I don't think any other lawyer would have defended us better or as well as you did. You always told us everything right up front, good or bad.
I have never been in this type of situation before let alone falsely accused, but you can be assured if I ever need a lawyer in the future, you are the lawyer I will call. If anyone I know needs a lawyer, you would be the one I would strongly recommend with the highest regards.
K.J., Glen Burnie, MD
