I am glad I had Mr. Wright as a lawyer!
I had a very positive experience with Mr. Wright, who have assisted me with my custody case. He walked me steps by steps throughout the process and was very patient. He told what my chances were on winning and what the other party could do or say. We were always prepared for our court dates. I only have few words to describe Mr. Wright: Very knowledgeable, dependable, available and reliable. If you are looking for a lawyer that is honest and not in business for money, but one to assist his clients, you are at the right place and will not be disappointed. I 300% recommend Mr. Wright for your legal matters. Sir, I will never Thank You enough for your great assistance during my trial. Line

Excellent Attorney Who Fought Hard for Me
Mr. Wright helped me get some justice from the legal system after years of frustration and other attorneys who took my money and didn't do any work. He knows the courts and was willing to speak up for me. My spouse refused to pay child support, but Mr. Wright got a judgment against him and then showed me how to collect on the judgment. I would highly reccomend him if you need an attorney.

A truly incredible lawyer. Dan changed our lives.
When I first contacted Dan through Avvo, it was for a quick call about my complicated custody case spanning across 4 different U.S. states. I'm a father of two young girls, who's mother decided to completely check out as a mother after our separation. For our initial call, I was expecting to cram as much information as possible into a 15 minute conversation. Dan, on the other hand, paid no mind to time limits. He took well over an hour to gain a deep understanding and empathy of my story. Dan asked the right questions and suggested I consider things that hadn't ever crossed my mind. I told him I didn't have any budget for a lawyer at the time, so I was looking to get the process started on my own. Dan told me exactly what I needed to do, and gave me a strategy down to every single little detail and nuance. I did exactly as instructed, and when I had the budget to take things further a few months later, I gave Dan another call. I explained that I didn't have a large budget, and was given a more than reasonable price, and Dan stuck to that price. What an incredible value he provided over the next 7 months of my case. The result of my case was more than I had imagined we could achieve, everything went as smoothly as possible, with Dan communicating in a way I could easily understand, every single step of the way. Long story short; my kids are safe because of Dan. The time, care and incredible knowledge of the legal system he applied to my case with forever be remembered and admired by me and my kids for the positive effect his services has had on our lives. A truly incredible lawyer!

Mr. Wright is a great lawyer who puts unlimited time in your case
Mr. Wright is one of the best lawyers I have ever met. He puts unlimited time in your case to give you the best result. He is a life saver. I will strongly recommend him over tons of other lawyers who are out there to take your money and do basically nothing.

Great Lawyer
Daniel is a great Lawyer, as I sat though my trial I was expecting to be found guilty, but Mr Wright made my case. I wanted trail by Judge, he told me by jury, and he was right, I wanted to testify he told me no that the would destroy me. He was right in both choice and I was found not guilty. He is a very knowageble lawyer. Never had to go to court and I am so happy I had him as my lawyer. Thank you Thank you Thank you..
