He'll take care of you

Dan is the best. Unfortunately my divorce/custody situation is high conflict, but Dan is always a voice of reason. He is incredibly down-to-earth and always gives advice that is grounded, trustworthy, helpful, and real. In these situations, having someone who knows the ins and outs of the system and ...is 100% real with you is invaluable. Dan is all of those things, and I can't stress that enough. It's also really important to get responses to your issues--even if just to set your mind at ease, and Dan is extremely responsive. Can't say enough good things about him, and if you need a strong lawyer who will listen to you and take care of you, Dan is your guy.

Life Saver!

Dan went above and beyond to help with my DUI defense. With his help and hard work, I was able to avoid certain disaster in my life- Family, Financial, Career... He is a Life Saver and I'm forever grateful. A few years ago I made a terrible mistake. I left the bar on St. Partick's day (night) af...ter a full evening of celebration. Rather than walking home, which was my original plan, I got behind the wheel and was subsequently arrested for DWI. There was no mistaking the fact that I was intoxicated. I was taken to the hospital where my blood test revealed that I was in the highest tier for penalty purposes. I was facing Jail time and 12 Months Suspended License. In an attempt to reduce my penalty and suspension we petitioned for ARD from the prosecutors office. To our dismay, we were rejected due to a prior offense in another state (that had been expunged). I thought my life was over. A 12 month license suspension would have surely ended my career and would have probably ended my marriage as well. Dan could have accepted the answer. He was already paid for his services, and did his job per our agreement. However, because he cared about me and my family, he didn't give up and found a way to fight... Through some research and leg work, he discovered that the misdemeanor that prevented me from qualifying for ARD would have been only a Summary Offense in PA- thereby making me eligible for ARD. We appealed the initial rejection by the prosecutors office, and based upon the information provided they reconsidered their decision and accepted me into the program. My suspension was now 60 days, no jail and the criminal charge would be expunged after completing a probationary period. This was huge! When I was seeking an attorney to represent me, I was really worried that DUI defense was easy money for the attorney. I thought that I was paying a lot of money for no real representation, as the statutes pretty much define the outcome. However I also knew that I could not go through it alone. I am so glad that I was introduced to Dan. He earned every penny, and I am forever thankful. *Dan was introduced to me by an Attorney and very close friend who declined to take my case- he told me that Dan was my best chance for a good outcome, and that if he were in a similar situation he'd call Dan too!

Fantastic attorney.

I spoke with Dan for the first time and immediately trusted him. His expert knowledge of the legal system made him the perfect choice to handle all of my personal matters. I will not use any other attorney in the future as long as Dan is available. I have recommended him to several people with comple...te confidence.

Partnership of Dan Keane

I engaged Dan Keane of Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on a number of family law issues. Keane was able to provide me knowledgeable and timely service on all of my needs. His responses were informative and the level of detail superior to any other experience. In short, Keane is a results... driven individual and I highly reccomend his partnership.

Divorce

Dan represented me in a divorce case for a little over a year. During that time, I counted on Dan to guide me through the process. He was always professional, yet I got the feeling he genuinely wanted me to succeed post divorce. Having no knowledge of this process, I needed a lot of step by step ...directions. I feel as if Dan helped me understand my rights, as well as fought to get me the best PSA available. He was extremely good with his communication as far as getting back to me when he said he would. Even if he had no news, or the news wasn't good, his responses were timely. During this process, I was told by a friend that sometimes you just had to trust your lawyer's advice. I'm glad I listened. There were times when I was confused and uncertain what to do and I trusted him to do what was best for me. I don't regret it at all. Dan has a real passion for what he does and from my perspective was very knowledgeable. My relationship with him during this divorce was a good one. I would be happy to recommend him and will use him again if I ever need a lawyer.
