WE WORK HARD TO EXCEED OUR CLIENTS EXPECTATIONS.

We treat each case and client with passion, professionalism and 100% focus. I am the managing partner of Daniels & Daniels, LLC, a Hudson County-based firm.  Our firm and myself are generalists and though we believe we are avid practitioners of law, we are never so arrogant that we would take on a case where we feel we are not experts on.  Our values indicate a client-centric philosophy, a philosophy that has been inbred in the culture at our firm, since the firm was started during The Great Depression.  During my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, all sports, and hunting.

Fantastic attorney
Fantastic attorney with excellent litigation skills. He recovered the full amount of damages that we were seeking in a personal injury case. He advised us not to settle (many attorneys that I know personally would have advised to take the “bird in hand”) because he believed in the merits of our case. After a long, hard fight, we emerged victorious! And who was the first person to share in the celebratory champagne? It was John! A true friend and counselor, and what a showman in the courtroom!

John Aurthur Daniels has been wonderful. A sincere thank you
Mr. Daniels gave us outstanding advice regarding a living trust that his firm created for us. His fees were reasonable and the work that he performed was excellent and covered our needs. He was also timely and responsive to our concerns.

Amazing attorney
After firing two attorneys that were previously representing my custody battle and were not fighting for me I hire Mr. Daniels to represent me. He wasted no time and immediately took action. Mr. Daniels promised results and I am happy to say that because of him I am able to spend more time with my daughters and I was also able to keep my parental rights. Mr. Daniels is an amazing attorney that will fight for you until the end. Hiring him was the best decision. My only regret is not hiring him from the very beginning.

Excellent Service
John is a very effective lawyer with an emphatic voice and large-scale experience, which makes him a powerful defender on the floor of a courtroom. He’ll always get the job done. My only regret is I do not have more stars to give.

No Nonsense Lawyer Mega Experience
I hired John Daniels when a psychotic female roommate put a restraining order on me with ZERO cause. Thsts no joke! U are guilty until proven innocent. I never laid hand on her or threatened to. But if I was found guilty and was granted a final restraining order. The consequences for me would have been very bad. I would be registered as a violent offender for one and you can lose your job over something like that. John Daniels took this very seriously was straightforward with me and actually got the psycho roommate to drop the keys five minutes before our actual hearing, and that way we didn't risk having a possible loss because you never know what's gonna happen with the judge so everything worked out great, and his work was diligent to the point, and he pays attention to your questions, and I highly recommend him.

John Has Been My Hero
Today I had a visit with my son at my home for the very first time and it is thanks to John's help and guidance. He has taken good care of me from the beginning and helped me navigate through a custody battle that I was failing to get through on my own. I can not praise or recommend him enough. He will give it to you straight and he will fight for your rights as a parent. I am so incredibly thankful to this man for what he has done.

A Lawyer That Will Fight For You Until The End.
There really are not enough words to describe what an amazing and dedication attorney John Daniels is. I came to John Daniels after firing my first lawyer. Mr. Daniels took over my custody case and immediately starting fighting for me and continues to do so. He makes himself available to all his clients and is always there to answer all my questions. John Daniels is a dedicated lawyer that will fight for you until the end. I highly recommend his excellent services. If you are looking for a family law lawyer that will fight for you he is your man.

John is on your side
John has been my lawyer for over 20 years. He has always gone above and beyond for me and often would stay late to accommodate my hours. John's work is always spot on and his advise is 100% honest. He's a straight shooter.

Class Act and Excellent Attorney
After frantically searching for a reputable and scrupulous attorney, I am very grateful that I hired Mr. John A. Daniels as my attorney, and I would recommend him to any colleagues, family, and friends. Mr. Daniels is a knowledgable and considerate attorney at counsel and guided me through the difficult filing processes at the state/federal level. He was responsive, thorough, and as transparent as any attorney I have worked with. Highly recommend Mr. Daniels!

Could not recommend a better attorney
John is a dedicated, passionate and thoughtful attorney. He represented me during a recent traffic citation and minimized the damages. I could not be more grateful, as the fines and subsequent insurance increases would have been onerous.
Posted by Steven | February 24, 2015
Honest, reliable and professional
John gave us the proper advice on an intellectual property matter. Because it was not his area of expertise, he referred us to a firm in New York City that was able to assist us on this. Clearly, he put our self-interest above his.

A Lifesaver!
When I received my DUI charge, it was definitely one of the lowest points of my life. Needless to say, I was not happy or proud in approaching an attorney regarding the case. I didn't really want to hear any self-righteous lectures, though it probably would have been in my best interests to hear that. But I found Daniels & Daniels through a friend at work, who stated that John Daniels helped her in her divorce case tremendously. When I met John, he was extremely kind, non-judgmental and used humor to diffuse any tension when I was discussing the case. He and his assistant spent a lot of time asking me questions and then spent more time in preparing and researching the case. Even though my BAC was clearly above the legal limits, there were a lot of holes in the police report that John spent time researching and then later, attacking at trial. The policeman admitted that he did not follow complete protocol because of his hurry to get back on the checkpoint line. It was short-staffed that evening, but that wasn’t known until the police were questioned thoroughly. John was able to get this out to a mere traffic citation! I did have points that I would have to pay, but any criminal charges were thrown out. It was a tremendous relief, as my career and reputation would have been affected immensely. I thank John to this day. And only after the verdict, did John finally give me a lecture about drinking while driving. I was in a much better position and mood to listen to it.

Divorce case
John helped guide me through a psychologically devastating divorce by not only being my counsel but by being my friend. There were many matters that were very difficult to deal with but John was very tactful and sensitive about it during sessions. But he was an entirely different persona in the courtroom and to the adversary (my ex). He was vicious, merciless and competitive – everything that I could not pull myself to be during a difficult time in m life. He fought relentlessly for my interests and when it was over, he had helped me gain a successful outcome. As much as one can truly “win” in a divorce case, I was able to do exactly that.

Astute, savvy attorney
John is a very savvy attorney and knowledgeable of the law. I'm always amazed at how he brings his "A" game without fail to every venue where his skills are needed and/or on display. He's helped me, my family, and my business for the past twenty years. Though he is quite astute in his practices, he also is humble enough to know when to refer a case to another lawyer if he feels that he does not provide enough knowledge in that area.

A Trusted Advocate
John is a fabulous attorney and an even better person. You can trust him completely to give you the best advice possible, even if it is not what you want to hear. He is honest. He never lied to me. He was empathetic -my cause became his cause - he told me how my situation should be resolved, and he worked tirelessly to make that happen. Most important, he was action-oriented - he got things done for me and brought a resolution to the problem. He always did what he said he was going to do, and he did it quickly. He contacted the people he needed to, he mediated very effectively for me, and he was my trusted voice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
