Dan won my arbitration

A lawsuit was brought against me by a former client. Dan recognized it to be without merit. Dan handled the case brilliantly. His legal maneuvers forced them into arbitration which we won despite their use of a high priced Philadephia attorney. I would highly recommend Dan and will use him again... should the need arise.

Dan won me a lawsuit against the caterer that ruined my wedding!

Dan helped me recover costs from a the caterer who nearly ruined my wedding! The suit he drafted never made it to the courtroom - the caterer paid in full without any fight! Great attitude and will fight for you to the best of his ability.

Dan Fought to Get Me a Good Outcome.

I got a DUI in the Philadelphia suburbs and was very scared about the consequences esp. the license suspension. Dan really did a great job and worked very hard to limit the damage. He knows what he is doing. I've recommended him to others I know who have gotten in trouble.

No dialog or guidance but bills are never late.

Dan does not provide any guidance or support. Pay up front. No office consultation. He only meets at courthouse to discuss details, so you are always pressed for time and information.

Solicitation Gone Wrong

Mr. Pallen solicited me through the mail regarding a criminal matter. I retained him after signing an agreement which included Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition to completion. When I followed up in writing multiple times, Mr. Pallen eventually stated there wasn't anything to send about ARD, b...ut it would be about $1,400. When we arrived at court in March of 2023, I asked if ARD was offered. Mr. Pallen berated me earlier and in the presence of my fiance stated you were supposed to apply for it. I terminated him the next day. He has refused to refund any of the prepaid $3,500 and today, when I saw him in court with my new attorney, who actually filed my ARD application, he dared me to take him to the disciplinary board in the presence of my new attorney and fiance. Also, nin-DUI ARD hasn't been $1,400 for a while. It's $1,600 now for an update.

This Office's track record of satisfying clients' needs during difficult times for nearly fifteen (15) years and the numerous positive reviews speak for themselves. These comments, regrettably, do not accurately nor sincerely reflect the representation and the legal counsel which was provided.

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.
