When your child is charged with a crime there are a lot of overwhelming emotions, the most powerful of which is fear. David helped calm our fear with his confidence, competence, and assurances he would do whatever he could to help. David was clear with us on worst-case scenarios and also presented an approach with the best possible outcome as the objective. His billing practice meant we knew exactly what his help would cost upfront with no surprises down the line and no extra costs for consultation throughout the process. The outcome was even better than we could have hoped; a conditional discharge. We cannot imagine going through this situation without David’s expertise and knowledge. He gave us peace of mind through one of the most challenging situations our family has faced.

David Karp is the first and only lawyer I have ever had to work with to settle a legal issue and he is by far the best person for the job.  He thinks from an empathetic mind and he relates to the individual and makes sure that he considers all his clients views and all possible outcomes. When my legal issue came to being in court he made me feel confident and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. I got a conditional discharge but where I was most satisfied was how he made me feel secure and never made me feel scared about a criminal record. If you need a lawyer for your criminal charge, go see David Karp as he is the best lawyer in Vancouver and I will only recommend people who need a lawyer to Mr Karp.

Saved the DayN.G.

I am a Canadian born, Caucasian mother of 4 wonderful children. A decade ago, I was wrongfully accused of crimes by the Crown and I faced 30 years in prison.

Dave listened to my story, read volumes of Crown Disclosure and heard the testimonies of 31 witnesses. Dave clearly realized that I was innocent and was able to convey this knowledge and information to the Justice in a concise and thoughtful manner.

I received a full acquittal based on merit and Mr. Karp proved that the Crown had absolutely no evidence against me. It’s a bittersweet win because I have personally lost so much due to the Crowns 10 year delay and the malicious actions of the Crown.

I would recommend Dave Karp to anybody seeking justice.

Dave was a great friend and true listener when I needed support in a case that needed professional direction – he was paramount to the success of the negotiations with the other party and really stepped up the presence when I truly needed the best. He came through for me and performed to the very highest standard and for Dave I’ll be always grateful.

We had a family member facing serious drug trafficking charges of cocaine and heroin. We were referred to Mr. Karp and hired him. After lengthy negotiations with Crown all charges were dismissed, due to research pointing to charter breaches.

After being charged with Impaired Driving and blowing over 0.08, I called David Karp. He provided me with a free consultation after which I hired him. He did a great job at explaining my rights to me. The result was that the criminal charges were dismissed and that I do not have a criminal record. Thank you Mr. Karp.

On behalf of my wife, myself and of course my son, I’d like to express my extreme gratitude and thanks for your representation of our son in his case. This was an extremely nerve-wracking and stressful ordeal for all of us and I appreciate your calmness and words of wisdom along the way.

Our son,  of course had the best possible outcome, and for that we are extremely grateful.  He did indeed have a good lawyer! I will be sure to recommend you to anyone I come across in the future who may need a fine defence lawyer.
