Mr. Gilbert is an awesome attorney who gives personal attention to his clients. I chose him because he is locally representing Pinellas County residents and knows the issues well enough to deal with the local judges and police department. I received a ticket in the construction area of the Gandy along with other unwitting residents. He treated my case with the upmost importance as if it was his priority. Today I got the great news that my case was dismissed based on his defense, thank you David Gilbert for the personal attention you gave to me. Billie Esquinaldo read more

I highly recommend this attorney David Gilbert, we are from out of town and had an accident in Florida and he handled our case very smoothly and stress free for us. He would respond to our emails quick , and was real informative. He had great presence in the court room. He's not pricey and you get your money's worth, he's definitely genuine and ready to help. read more

David was an absolute pleasure to work with on my speeding case. After receiving my first speeding ticket in over a decade, I came across the GIlbert Law firm on a google search. The feedback was positive so I reached out to him. He was fast to respond and answered all my questions. For a $99, he would handle the matter and attend the hearing on my behalf. He could not guarantee the outcome but he said, based on his experience, it should be reduced to just the fine and no points. Sounded great to me. David kept me updated via email and I revived the ruling from him yesterday after the case. It was completely dismissed by the judge! I will definitely recommend David to all my friends and colleagues. Professional, experienced and gets the job done for a fair price. What more could you want in a legal representative? read more

If you are "shopping" for legal representation, stop here. Mr. David Gilbert is amazing and affordable. Mr. Gilbert's efforts include prompt responses and thorough follow-up. He had my daughter's ticket eliminated followed soon after by my own ticket, and both citations involved accidents. Of course I hope not to utilize his services again! If I do need to, I will not hesitate and will gladly send him referrals. Thank you David...you are the best! read more

I was pulled over for not having my headlights on in a well-lit area. I paid David Gilbert $99 to handle this matter. He handled it 100% and got the entire thing dismissed. I didn't even have to show up to court. The best part about David is that he's a 21st century lawyer. He is prompt and knows how to use e-mail and the Internet. This is severely lacking in the legal industry today. read more

Fantastic firm. Got a speeding ticket and so I looked up traffic attorneys in the TB area. The reviews were good so k thought I would give them a go. I called and they took care of everything. David even looked at my previous citations for me. Went to court on my behalf and resolved everything. The outcome was even better than he said it would be. read more

I had some traffic tickets, so I hired him. He was able to fix them and then he charged me roughly another $500 to expunge/seal one of the cases (I have all receipts). It has been almost a year that he charged me, he did not initiate the process and he has not been answering my questions. I believe he accepts more cases that he ever can handle and then randomly decides to ignore some cases without any communication or refund. I have sent letters to Tallahassee in order to hopefully get my refund. Please be advised that he is absolutely able to ignore his clients but right after he charges them. read more

Speed is my friend, I love driving, racing and competition. As a result I have had so many speeding tickets I'm my 20 years of driving that my insurance is through the roof. I was skeptical of all the billboards of attorneys, claiming they can fight your tickets and get them dismissed, so I have never tried one out before. That is until now. After being totally pissed off about another ticket, I decided to fight it. I looked on yelp, but didn't find anyone in the area, finally after searching the web I found David Gilbert, his reviews seemed good and his prices were fair, so I took a gamble. The result... They took care of everything, I gave them all the info, and about two months later I got a call that the ticket was dismissed. Are you kidding me!! $100 for the attorney, no points no ticket. THANK YOU David! Imagine how much easier his job would have been if I didn't already have so many tickets on my record. I'll never just bend over and take it again, without putting up a fight! read more

Attorney David Gilbert handled a family personal injury legal matter with utmost professionalism and went above and beyond to accommodate us as clients and people on multiple occasions. He made sure to conduct his end of the legal matters with lightning speed while also maintaining meticulousness and managed to guide a family member through what would have otherwise been an extremely intimidating and frustrating matter. It was clear that David not only cared about the legal aspect of our case but most importantly he showed sincere concern about the well being of his clients. Thanks again for all your efforts Mr. Gilbert, there is absolutely no way we could have navigated this difficult matter without your exceptional services. read more

Professional and knowledgable lawyer, always returned calls in a timely manner. Helped me with several traffic issues and got great results every time . highly recommended read more

A great Tampa ticket attorney! Received a "gotcha" ticket and Mr. Gilbert went above and beyond to get it sorted. Thought at the very best I would get points withheld, but the ticket was thrown out entirely! Absolutely happy with the level of service and would recommend to anyone. read more

I should have just paid the ticket. David Gilbert charged me $125 for him to basically walk into the courtroom and ask for reduced fines, which I am fully capable of doing on my own. All communication was done by email, he didn't have time to answer my calls or return calls. He doesn't explain any options to his clients or even ask for details on the case that might help have the ticket dismissed. I felt he was very inexperienced and you should check out the ripoff reports made on this man. I also was charged court fees, which all together came out to more than the initial ticket. So in the long run, I should've just paid. read more

I was involved in a traffic accident where I was hit by the car behind me in my lane. I would have thought it would be categorized as a rear end collision. Unfortunately, the trooper who arrived on scene, without witnessing the accident, issued me a reckless driving citation. I called Gilbert Law, paid a flat fee, and it was taken care of. Money well spent, ticket dropped, no points on my license. read more

The Gilbert Law Firm detailed, thorough and careful, which makes them the best option if you need a traffic attorney. I had a series of unfortunate traffic issues that seemed to catch up with me all at once. The Gilbert Law Firm handled it for me and kept me informed via phone and email with each step in the process. I am COMPLETELY satisfied!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend them. read more

I was in desperate need of a good lawyer and I didnt really know one, so I took a chance after reading the reviews here on Yelp and called Gilberts Law firm. I was so thankful I did. I wish all lawyers were as good and down to earth as David Gilbert. I had a catastophic career ending problem (ticket) , I felt that there was no solution and my career was over. Mr. Gilbert was able to not only calm my fears about the problem but helped me see a light at an incredibly long dark tunnel. Mr. Gilbert agreed to take my case, he laid everything out what I needed to do before the court case come to trial, I did everything he said to do. He went to court and he did everything he said he would do. He got a 25 over the speed limit speeding ticket changed to a much lower offense -- Failure to obey a traffic control device general use (could mean anything). The original ticket would have caused me to lose my job and livelihood. The Police officier was extremely unfriendly person to me and at court to Mr. Gilbert. Yet Mr. Gilbert was able to work his magic and was able to persuade the Police officer to change the ticket. My family will be forever grateful for Mr. Gilberts abilities and if you need a good, honest and dependable lawyer who does what he says, then look no further as I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Gilbert. He is the best lawyer in town and he'll get the job done. If I could I would give hime 10 * s. read more

Many attorneys make misleading representations, Mr. Gilbert is cut and dry, no nonsense, and has a proven track record with me. I have used his services now many years and every infraction had been either greatly reduced our in most cases completely dismissed with minimal our no court fees or fines. I highly encourage anyone seeking legal help in traffic situations to retain Gilbert law firm, most others will charge allot more and the results will be less favourable. Shop around like I did, however you will not find a better attorney who delivers at his word and will not let you down. read more

I retained Atty Gilbert in the middle of the month of April 2011 for 4 different charges, 2 of which were traffic related in order to initiate the stop. Right from day 1 he stated that he would file a series of different motions to get these charges dismissed. He never filed a motion until after 3 different appearances in court and then it was only 1 motion and at that point in time it was more out of desperation than anything else. It was done at the last minute after a pre-trial hearing date had already been set. Atty Gilbert let the prosecuting atty believe that he wasn't going to file any motions so that the prosecuting atty was throwing the book at me because he wasn't going to get any resistance. Atty Gilbert did a poor job at the Administrative Review Hearing and when that went sour he didn't challenge those findings and everything went south from that point on in his representation of my case. Atty Gilbert has admitted to me on several occasions that this was all new for him and then volunteered that he was going to different students that he'd gone to school with, prosecuting atty's that he'd worked with before in other cases, and even police officers for advice on how to handle my case and the charges against me. (This was only after he'd received over a thousand dollars of the $2500 he was going to charge me) I gave him $500 the first day we spoke and he sounded promising but it was shortly after that, and before he'd volunteered that this was new to him, that I started to get some very uneasy feelings about this atty and his ability to represent me as well as his ability to maintain my freedom from incarceration. Over the course of approximately the next 3 months I'd given this atty over $1300 of my money and I was collecting unemployment so money was hard to come by. In that 3 months the only thing he did was appear in court for 3 different hearings and attend the Administrative Review Hearing and then complained that I wasn't paying him, yet his website then(http://www.drivenlegal.com/) AND now new website (http://www.dgilbertlaw.com/), state that he accepts payment plans. At that point I'd let him know that he had done nothing as far as any of the motions that we'd discussed on the initial day that I sat in his office and wrote him a check for $500 and that I felt very uneasy about giving him anymore money until I saw more action out of him like he said he was going to do. It still wasn't until after two more appearances in court that he came up with a motion to suppress evidence (which is one of the many that we'd talked about on that initial day) which at this late point in the game was a last ditch effort. I was furious with him and extremely nervous about standing next to him in court while he presented it to the judge and I told him so. I was so scared that I went and retained another atty. with a boat load more experience than this rookie atty had and that cost me a LOT of money and this new atty wasn't doing any payment plans this late in the game so I had to scramble to get the funds together. Atty Gilbert misrepresented himself to me as he does on his websites. It wasn't until today that I noticed that he had a new website and this one actually tells when he graduated from Stetson Law - 2010, had I known that initially I would have NEVER given this atty a dime and would've found someone else to represent me. I will be writing to the FL Bar Association about this atty's tactics and behavior as well as ripoff report - I got scammed by this atty and because Gilbert took his sweet time doing everything my freedom is now in jeopardy and my new atty has very little time, if any at all, to turn things around for me. I am disgusted with atty Gilbert as I had to tell him several things to do in my case, which he never did, but stated to me that I "should be an atty". He now has a new website with his picture on it that my money obviously paid for because he didn't spend my money on fighting my case, representing me, or to "expose weaknesses in the prosecutor's case"(which comes right off of his new website). read more

My teen daughter was in an accident with no witnesses. She got the ticket as she was the one turning right on red. I found Mr. Gilbert via Yelp and contacted him by email. He reviewed our case and set a flat fee which I paid immediately. He kept me informed via email and told me we didn't need to go to the hearing. He got the case dismissed. Couldn't have been more happier about the outcome and can't say enough how simple he made the process. He certainly kept this stressed out mom calm. read more

Best attorneys in town. I got a ticket for a "Red Light Violation" and all I had to do was pay for the representation and that was it. My ticket was dropped and no penalties were assessed. Couldn't be happier. Easiest process EVER!!!. Thank you!!!!! Nick C. read more
