Great lawyer

Daniel is immensely helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. It's a bit surprising, how much he stands out as a lawyer. Although we decided not to use his service, due to the timing, all of his insight was helpful. He was honest about what the outcome may be and how likely it is to impact the case at this... stage. Had I come across this lawyer in the beginning of the case, I know he would have impacted the overall process tremendously. I recommend him to anyone seeking legal service. He is beyond what a lawyer should be, he actually cares about the well being of his clients. Hire him if you're seeking legal services!

Consultation

I had an awesome consultation with Daniel Demaria. He was very helpful and patient with helping me add things together with my case; even though he advised that he should not take it on and waste my money. He gave me the best advice and information I have gotten since the case started. I would defini...tely recommend him!

Excellent Attorney

Daniel DeMaria help our son get charges reduced from a misdemeanor to a violation. Gave us an abundance of information before we hired him. He answered all our questions, and had experience to understand both parents of and college age students who made a mistake that got them in trouble. Had a large... knife in his carry on, and was arrested. Mr. DeMaria worked hard, and my son will have no record.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.

Reciprocal - Suspension issued in MA, 2018

updated on 10/12/2018

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Massachusetts.

Daniel’s comment:

“The suspension involved failing to disclose an incident of academic misconduct on my application to the bar of another jurisdiction which took place in 2010, and after consulting counsel who advised me that the incident of academic misconduct did not have to be disclosed. See: https://bbopublic.blob.core.windows.net/web/f/bd18-008.pdf”
