Divorce Attorney Recommendation

Dan Lane represented me in my divorce. It was a difficult and complex divorce due to my compensation structure and other unique issues, but Dan was a pro. He was responsive, creative, and I felt that he had my back. I too am an attorney and I would highly recommend Dan to anyone going through a d...ivorce.

Level Headed Guidance

Mr. Lane helped guide me through the divorce process with patience and a level head. In an emotionally charged time he kept providing firm guidance that I didn't want to hear, but needed to hear. My wife and I ended up reconciling but I still appreciate the effort and guidance Mr. Lane has provided....

Award winning attorney and one can see why

Dan Lane was my third attorney in a Divorce case that my ex spouse was stretching in terms of time and cost for no real reason. I needed someone who would bring this to a closure without having all my savings evaporate. Dan was the right person for this – he was able to find gaps in the adversary’s l...awyers arguments both in the mediations and the Motions that were filed and he did complete the case within the cost estimates he had provided. I had read that he won some awards and as the case progressed I got to see a few of his (award worthy) strategies that got the adversary into a corner! I would highly recommend him for any case related to Family Law

Excellent Law Firm

After consulting several law firms, I hired Lane & Lane to handle my divorce. Because Daniel Lane’s specialty is matrimonial law, I found him to be experienced and tough, but also kind and willing to negotiate to settle the dispute. Rather than seeking a protracted divorce process, Dan sought to reac...h an amicable solution without “bankrupting” both parties. He is a credit to his profession.

First class Professional

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dan Lane and his firm. From the initial consultation and throughout the legal process, Dan and his firm made me feel that my case was of utmost priority. He was incredibly sensitive to the difficult circumstances, and made himself readily available to addres...s questions and concerns that I had. He worked very diligently to ensure that the desired outcome was achieved. His is a very skilled attorney, but most importantly, Dan is a dedicated, caring person. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone that should require a family lawyer.

"I have known Dan since I was a law clerk nearly a decade ago. We have worked closely together on bar association matters, have become close friends, and at times have even had tough cases with one another. Dan is always a tough adversary and a creative lawyer as well as a lawyer with integrity. He has been a great mentor and sounding board to me over the years. I would refer my own friends and family to Dan. His partners Steven and Eric make up his family business and they possess the same great qualities. I highly recommend Dan Lane."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
