David Kiatta

When you are accused of a serious crime, your future, reputation, and freedom are immediately at risk. The attorney you choose, and the depth of that attorney’s experience, will shape what happens next. For more than 35 years, David Kiatta has practiced criminal law at the highest levels. He represents individuals facing serious felony charges in and around Houston, focusing on complex, high-stakes matters where the consequences are life-altering. In serious criminal cases, experience is not theoretical- it is essential. It is knowing how cases unfold, how juries respond, how prosecutors assess risk, and how judges and juries evaluate credibility. It is recognizing weaknesses others overlook and anticipating prosecutorial strategy before it develops. David began his career as a prosecutor with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, where he handled significant felony prosecutions and developed a thorough understanding of how the State builds and tries criminal cases. Over decades in the courtroom, he has refined a deliberate, disciplined approach to defense grounded in preparation, judgment, and trial readiness. David is Board-Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization- a distinction earned by only a select percentage of Texas attorneys. Board certification reflects substantial trial experience, peer review, and demonstrated excellence in criminal defense.
