When Florida rapper Yungeen Ace was arrested after being shot multiple times during a drive-by shooting, he turned to defense attorney David Haas to fight for his rights. Like many rappers and hip-hop artists, as well as doctors, accountants and even stay-at-home moms, who are accused of crimes, Ace knew that David Haas would treat him with dignity and fight passionately for his rights and freedom.

This new video captures David Haas’s commitment to his clients and his determination to fight for them, but it also says a lot more about what makes this former federal prosecutor the person who you want in your corner when charged with a serious federal or state crime.

Having worked as a state attorney for five years and for the Justice Department for ten years, David Haas puts the full force of his experience to work for his clients, making sure they get the strongest defense possible. Often, he is able to prevent charges from being filed; other times, he’s able to get charges dropped or sentences reduced.

As the video shows, David Haas makes sure each client gets his full commitment to fighting for what is right and his full respect for their humanity – whatever the charges, from drug trafficking to federal bribery or fraud. He never judges or defines his clients by the charges against them, but rather helps them not to be intimidated, knowing he will fight as hard as he possibly can for them, and never back down.
