Great DUI Lawyer!

Daniel Nevins did a great job helping me through my charges. He was there during every phase of the legal process (from beginning to end). He did a great job describing what was going to happen, always had the necessary paperwork ready, and was always there to listen and answer all of my questions. ...If you are looking for someone to listen and help you through a difficult situation, I would absolutely recommend Daniel Nevins.

Mr. Nevins Is A Great Lawyer

Mr. Daniel Nevins is the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of having represent me. I had two cases, one I successfully completed probation for and another that came up this year from 2008. I went to Mr. Nevins and right away I felt comfortable with having him represent and I knew I had made th...e right choice. He went above and beyond what a lawyer should do. He was always on time at every court date I had and ensured me from the beginning every obstacle we may challenge and that we had a good chance but it would be hard. Well, he is very professional and I gotta say every time I left the court room relieved. He is very personable as well which was nice, and he always stay in communication which is important to me as well. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer and Mr. Nevins will work really hard no matter the outcome, though usually any outcome with him representing you will be good. Thank You Mr Nevins for representing me. He was able to get me EM (which is electric monitoring or "HOUSE ARREST") when the odds were looking very slim and I was looking at some serious time. Once again, I would definitely recommend him for whatever your dilemma may be. You will be happy with the results and he will do everything in his power to get you the best solution.

Driving on suspended liscence

Daniel was very supportive and gave clear legal advise. Daniel guided me through the process and did every thing to keep me calm. We showed up for a trial for Driving on suspended license and invalid inspections. We waited past our scheduled time and the Judge came out and pulled Daniel into his cham...bers and spoke privately. A short time later Daniel came out and talked to me. He said if I pay the constable fees (I did not respond to the original summons on time) the case would be dropped. The officer did not appear. I would recommend Ebner, Nevins & McAllister if you have traffic related case. Daniel Nevins was very easy to work with.

I'd definitely hire Mr. Nevins again.

Dan helped me out more then once with both legal advice and services. If I have any legal issues in PA, Mr. Nevins is the first attorney I call. I highly recommend Mr Nevins to anyone who needs any legal advice or help. On a personal level Dan is just a good, honest guy. He's someone you can trust.

Posted by Marie | June 11, 2012 | Landlord & Tenant

Dan Nevins is a terrific lawyer and a very good human being.

Dan Nevins represented my sister in a landlord tenant dispute. He was knowledgable and when he needed alternatives on the law, he did research to come up with the best solution. Dan promised my sister a flat fee to represent her. Even though the case went on much longer than expected due to defend...ant appeals, he never asked for additional money. Dan is patient and very nice to work with. I am an attorney and I give Dan my highest recommendation.

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.
