"Dave is a very patient and thorough attorney who really does his homework. He made sure that I was fully aware of what was going on and the pros and cons of each of my options. He helped me tell my story and got the jury to understand it, I would recommend him to anyone who's in a tough spot and needs someone on their side."

-- Nick

"Dave did a wonderful job as my attorney. He investigated and worked very hard and beyond what was expected to help get a dismissal and release from something I thought was nearly impossible to do. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Hammerstad as my attorney if I were to need one again. He is dedicated, hard working, and he gets results." -- Bill

"Dave's calm demeanor helped me face what looked like a bleak situation. While preparing for trial, each element of the charges were carefully and completely explained to me. During the trial, Dave objected, approached the bench, and cleared the courtroom regularly. I was very happy with the outcome. Dave is an exceptional attorney."
-- David

"Dave looked me in the eye and talked to me man-to-man. His calm and confidence helped me stay strong through all the ups and downs of my case. Dave fought for me and believed in me. If I were in the same situation again I would want someone like him on my side."
