Michael Jay Danels

I have hired Attorney Danels and his partner for several different legal issues. They are sharp, professional, caring, honest, and affordable. I highly recommend this law firm to support your legal issues and concerns. Plain and simple, I trust this law firm, and they will work hard for you while kee...ping cost low....

Worked with both Mike and Greg and they both have keen minds. My goal was to get out of the situation affordably and assert my rights. They kept me on track even when I wanted revenge. We avoided trial but felt I'd have good representation had we gone. You may not like the legal system but don't ...blame them--they will provide spot on advice even if you don't like the answers. If you are reasonable they will work hard for you. I get the sense they want to avoid unnecessary drama, difficult clients or revengeful ones--at a certain point, it's not worth the money. Be good to them, and they'll treat you right. Remember, they are there to show you the opposing side view, and to test you. So, be assertive on what you need and want. They will provide realistic feedback and what you need to know (not want to hear). If your goal is affordable (relatively speaking) yet very good quality representation use them, but don't expect to be coddled. They are efficient and no-frills, and some may misinterpret this but it's their way to save you money and grief in the long run! Go to the library and educate yourself on process so it doesn't seem so bewildering. Don't hesitate to them ask questions though. I give them 4.6 stars--not perfect but damn close (because I'm a tough grader).

Michael represented me in court 4 times: twice in civil court and twice in criminal court in the same domestic violence case. To make things even more difficult I’m not a US citizen, which mean any even minor conviction will put me into immigration jail for months with subsequent deportation and loss... of any immigration privileges to US forever. Michael won the first case for me, but then situation became worse as my wife have filed criminal charges regarding the same allegations of domestic violence and appealed the first civil case she lost. Michael helped to resolve civil case appeal in favorable way. Then before my criminal trial, my situation became even more complicated as because of criminal allegations my employer have terminated my contract and revoked my visa leaving me hours to leave US. So now on top of criminal charges of domestic violence I had my bond violation, and to make things even more difficult I could not even enter US to appear for my hearings, as I had no valid US visa or money to pay for the tickets. Yet Michael all by himself, managed to dismiss bond violation kept me out of bench warrant and finally got me cleared of all criminal charges without my appearance in court. I have my name cleared, and I kept my immigration privileges so I can return to my life in US some time later. Giving the circumstances it was an amazing outcome. Michael is also very professional and honest person he will never sugarcoat the situation always giving you the worst possible scenario along with his course of actions. It might be hard to deal with but it is better than keeping your hopes high and then get horribly disappointing outcome. Michael is also will never do any dirty tricks for you he doesn’t need it at all. Bottom-line If you are innocent he will get you cleared, if you are actually have commit something, he will get you the best possible outcome in the situation, just have trust in his skill and experience. It is a best lawyer you can get.

I would like to extend my highest recommendation for Attorney Michael Danels. Mr. Danels recently represented me in my divorce case in Maryland. He was responsive to all of my concerns and requests during the ENTIRE separation/divorce process. Most importantly, he was accessible whether it was by... phone, in person or via email. His response time was usually in a matter of minutes, regardless of whether it was after normal work hours or on the weekends. For court appearances, Mr. Danels provided ample preparation time and was on-time for each engagement. He also ensured that I was totally comfortable with decisions made and provided me with sufficient examples and support that further set me at ease. Mr. Danels was very knowledgeable of the courtroom officials, procedures and protocol and was able to make this portion of the process as smooth as possible. Mr. Danels fully explained the expectations along with my options. He was proactive and did not wait for me to contact him. During no time during this process was I caught "off guard" or surprised. He was very thorough with my specific case and he paid close attention to details. As a female, with very limited experience with the legal/court system, Mr. Danels acted on my behalf and made me feel confident that I would be accurately and fairly represented. From a legal standpoint, he fully minimized the amount of stress that I could have endured during this time. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Mr. Danels for his experience, expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, "office side" manner, and overall legal abilities. At the end, Mr. Danels presented a fair case on my behalf, which resulted in a successful settlement for me. Many thanks to Mr. Danels!!!!!
