Help with a ticket

Dan was very effective in helping me get a speeding ticket reduced down to a charitable donation with no points. He was thorough, required no handholding, and very professional. He was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Best outcome for the situation

Daniel Lage is one of the best to enter into the criminal justice field. From the first day of meeting I knew that Daniel would provide not only a good job but a very good and rewarding outcome for me. Being young, Daniel knew that the case was very hard on me and I have a lot going for me. He is ver...y understating to my needs and situation. His personality is top notch which in a sense gives you the feeling of him walking with you through the situation. By the way my case was a dui. My favorite lawyer !

The Absolute Best

I was facing a really bad case. My charges were severe and could've cost me my career. I was terrified of what was ahead of me. Attorney Lage was understanding, attentive and compassionate about my case. He seen the fear on my face and reassured me that he will do his best. And honestly he did! My ch...arges including the felony was all dropped and substituted with a misdemeanor charge. I was able to keep my career and pick up the broken pieces. I can not emphasize how wonderful of an Attorney he has been for me and I would recommend him to anyone. Although I had to complete an 14 week course and pay additional court fees, it was all worth it! Thank You Attorney Lage for your exceptional service!

Fantastic lawyer to have on your side

Daniel excellently represented me on a minor evading responsibility charge that was downgraded to a non-moving ticket. Not only was Dan very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, his empathy in helping you get through what can be a stressful, complicated and difficult situation made this process... much much easier.

A good man

Where do i begin? What do I say about Dan, an eloquent and excellent attorney, who worked tiressly on my case to reach the outcome we looked forward from the start? Even when that outcome looked so far away, unreachable at the beginning... Without disclosing specifics of the case due to its sensit...ive nature, I can say with undisputable belief that Dan is one of the best attorneys, one of few people that positively impacted the course of my case and hence my life from this moment onward. Life teaches us, with humility, that we are human beings, never perfect, prone to mistakes, poor judgement and bad luck. It's how we deal with the situation that makes the difference. Dan made that difference. I had it all. Lived the American Dream. Family and financial prospects, house, job, In a blink of an eye, for one or another reason, everything turned up side down. Instantly, the situation arose in that manner that I risked loosing it all. Everything. Including my physical liberty. After consulting with a family friend, I was referred to Ruane attorneys and met Dan, who represented me in Court on day 1. My impression of Dan as focused, determined, assertive, sharp and attention to detail put me at ease. I heard everywhere and from everyone the phrase "You are in good hands". I could sleep at night. I decided that if anyone woould represent me, the complexity of my case, it would be Dan. After a consult appointment, I met the head of the office, Mr. Ruane, Dan, office staff, receptionist and others and immediately felt the warmth, dedication and their commitment to their clients. Great reputation, with the whole criminal justice system always doing the right thing. Straight shooter, no bs, respectful and professional, Dan always told me the truth, even when it hurted and kept me up to date. Always on time, always answered my questions, anytime of day, any day and helped me with immense guidance thru the most dificult time In my life. A man of great ethics and character, modesty and honesty, I entrusted and followed every advise Dan gave me. I was not wrong. As the case was moving forward many factors came into play, lot of other entities and agencies got involved and chances looked slim. Dan not only worked on the criminal side, as hired, but on the whole case with everyone involved, the whole time from start to finish and technicalities that the positive outcome was unavoidable. Not even a dime extra. My case represents my case, with the whole bagage that came with it, and he took it and delivered not only for me, but sensitive to other indicidual(s), delivered the best outcome for all. Dan is a young and prominent attorney, brilliant mind in criminal law and even more importantly, he is a good man. I am glad to have had you represent me and happy there are still good men out there... I thank you Dan, your office and everyone involved in the case for all your work. Nothing but the best of health, happiness and prosperity and God bless you and your family.
