Posted by Mitchell | September 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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!
