About David
Criminal Defense lawyer David Wooten practices in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, representing clients in all types of criminal and serious traffic cases. His experience ranges from federal drug trafficking to first degree murder, with jury trial experience including: Murder, Attempted Murder, Rape, Robbery, Sexual Abuse, and Felony Assault.
Not all cases are won with juries. Mr. Wooten also knows how to convince judges to suppress illegally obtained evidence in felony drug cases, where the suppression ruling results in dismissal of all charges. One case involved suppression of 15 grams of cocaine, in a bag that was sticking out of the Defendant's pants. Another case involved an alleged confession that cocaine was hidden inside a wall, where a judge found the defendant's denial more credible than the Detective's story. Yet another case involved an illegal traffic stop that recovered a backpack full of $14,000 cash and 2 pounds of marijuana.
In 2017 Mr. Wooten achieved success for a client in one of the highest profile cases in Montgomery County in decades - in the "Rockville High School Rape" case - guiding his client through a maelstrom of national media attention, including pejorative comments about his client from White House spokesman, Sean Spicer. Contrary to all expectations and hype, all rape and sex offense charges against Mr. Wooten’s client were dismissed. (See Fox News Article).
As a criminal defense attorney, Mr. Wooten often finds himself in the middle of heated domestic violence cases. When a marriage falls apart and physical violence is alleged, divorce, alimony, and custody proceedings can be influenced by criminal charges. For example, Attorney Wooten won two consecutive protective orders against the same scorned wife. She was determined to violate her husband's probation, in an attempt to put him in jail and win custody of their two sons.
Mr. Wooten speaks fluent Spanish. He lived in Ecuador for two years as a United States Peace Corps Volunteer. As a youth, he traveled the world playing competitive soccer. In college, he was granted a highly selective scholarship to live in Southeast Asia and work for the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand. Attorney Wooten's multi-cultural life experience aids and informs his practice of law. Every client's needs are unique. The decisions a person makes, and the challenges he or she faces, are strongly influenced by their background and upbringing. Mr. Wooten knows how to paint the right picture for judges and juries, using his client's background as a strength.
