This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
"Daniel J. Hansen is a great attorney-smart and effective. I would highly recommend him to family and friends."
I strongly recommend Mr. Daniel J. Hansen as an attorney. I hired him to assist in the processing of my 9/11 VCF claim. My case was very complex due to my debilitating medical conditions and work history. I was kept well informed throughout the entire case. Dan's accessibility, quick response time and genuine concern proved that he really cared about my personal situation. Not only is Dan a skilled, honest and competent attorney, he is also very kind and understanding. This made a very difficult time in my life a little less stressful. If you are in need of an attorneyl, I would highly recommend hiring him.
