Highly professional

I met Attorney McGarrigle in December of 2019. I needed him to handle a very delicate case for me. From the beginning he proved to me he was a professional; thorough, knowledgeable, and precise. He kept me informed throughout the process. I never had to guess or speculate what was happening with my c...ase. I would highly recommend Attorney Daniel McGarrigle for your legal needs. Thank you sir for your time, patience and willingness to see my situation through to the end.

rock solid lawyer

Daniel found justice for my son who was being wrongly charged with felonies by a justice system that just didn't want to believe the plain truth. he was polite and always returned my phone calls, he was never to busy for me. I would recommend him to everyone!

Exactly What You Need

When I needed help, and was not sure where to turn, I was lucky enough to get help from Daniel McGarrigle. The legal process was new to me, and intimidating. Dan made sure that every step was transparent. I always knew what was coming next, I always knew communication would be straight forward and cl...ear. At the time of my trial date, Dan's experience truly shown! My outcome was more than favorable. I recommend Daniel McGarrigle to EVERYONE that I know, who needs a defense lawyer with the chops to protect your best interest. Dan is more than experienced and it will reflect upon the outcome of the process he will guide you through.

Daniel McGarrigle - Highly recommended

My son was facing serious legal consequences for felonies he had committed to support his addiction. He was likely to lose his job and to spend some considerable time in prison. Dan McGarrigle was recommended to us and we are so grateful for the recommendation. He has been extremely effective in navi...gating my son through a very difficult set of legal issues and it is down to him that my son is still employed and starting to put his life together again. I would strongly recommend Dan McGarrigle as an attorney who will fight for his client and who delivers real results.

I had a wonderful experience working with him. We contacted him with short notice assistance and he really went out of his way to help us. He kept me posted with every update, also was consistent with everything he told me. I didn't worry if he forgot to focus on our case I trusted him very much.Also...,if I had any questions I felt comfortable reaching out to him. Overall great man and a pleasure to work with !!

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.
