Description:

The Law Offices of David B. Pastor is a Walnut Creek law firm with over 30 years of experience defending those who have been accused of a crime, including all felonies, misdemeanors and juvenile crimes.

Mr. Pastor has successfully represented clients in thousands of criminal defense matters, including driving under the influence (DUI), domestic violence, drug offenses, theft/fraud matters and white collar crimes. Please visit the Practice Areas page for a comprehensive discussion of Mr. Pastor’s areas of practice.

Mr. Pastor prides himself on personally handling each case. He answers the phone, promptly returns calls, meets with his clients regarding every aspect of their case, and personally appears in court on behalf of his clients.

Unlike some attorneys who seek to quickly settle cases or encourage clients to accept a plea bargain to avoid having to go to trial, Mr. Pastor is always prepared to take your case to trial if it is in your best interest.

This hands-on approach to each case requires Mr. Pastor to be selective in which cases he accepts—he will only accept your case and represent you if he truly believes he can satisfy your expectations and achieve a favorable outcome on your behalf.

Mr. Pastor is dedicated to providing honest, ethical legal representation and he will always give you a candid assessment of your case. Having practiced law in Contra Costa County since 1977, Mr. Pastor has an established reputation within the local legal community and has earned the respect of county judges and district attorneys.

Mr. Pastor also has 30 years of experience as a former immigration attorney. This prior immigration experience has given him insight into the potential immigration consequences of a criminal conviction or guilty plea. If you are not a U.S. citizen, it is especially important that you consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible, because a guilty plea or conviction could have serious immigration consequences, including potential deportation.

Being charged with a crime does not mean you will be convicted. If you have been arrested, time is often crucial, especially if you have been arrested for a DUI and are at risk of losing your driving privileges.

For your convenience, Mr. Pastor is available on evenings and weekends by appointment. He is committed to providing personalized, dedicated defense representation. Your initial consultation is free.
