Review Daniel Lane

Honest and Trustworthy

Posted by

My wife and I had Daniel Lane write up our last will and testaments, living wills, etc. Being a father himself, Daniel understood our concerns and walked us clearly through the process, leaving us feeling confident our children will be cared for if anything ever happened to us. If peace of mind is what you are looking for, I recommend Daniel.

Excellent Legal Council

Carl Taylor, Divorce and separation Attorney on Oct 15, 2019
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

Adam Eisenhut, Divorce and separation Attorney on Feb 3, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Daniel is a fierce and knowledgeable advocate. He knows all the details of his cases, which he uses to great effect. And while he is a very capable litigator, he is also settlement oriented and thus able to truly protect his client's financial interests by keeping his focus on a cost/benefit analysis.

William Lemega, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 11, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

James Moloughney, Mediation Attorney on Apr 1, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have had matters with Dan for several years. He is honest, well-prepared, and approaches issues in a reasonable manner, while looking out for his client's best interests. This is of great value in Family law matters as it saves time, money and emotional strain, all to the benefit of the client.

Edward Rebenack, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 30, 2015
