Couldn't ask for a better attorney!!! Ethical, professional and an expert in his field with personalized attention to our case.

Dan is the most ethical, knowledgeable and professional attorney. My wife and I are forever grateful to him for representing, supporting and guiding us through an extremely complex construction case. Dan has in depth knowledge about construction and all the issues related to it. He fought our case li...ke it was his case from day one. Dan is patient, approachable, calculated, listens to his clients’ needs and strategizes his plan of action in the most thoughtful manner. From the day we met, he put us at ease, and we had his undivided attention through the end. He responded to our texts and emails almost immediately, and it’s his personal attention, care, dedication, intelligence that helped us through this case and situation. Dan is an expert in his field and is priced reasonable compared to other big firm attorneys we met. We met few other attorneys at large firms prior to meeting with Dan and they were not only expensive, they also stated the case would be handled by associate attorneys till it goes to trial. The resilience with which he litigates and makes an argument in the court room is compelling. We went through a three-day court hearing and the judge ruled in our favor on all counts. The truth and honesty is what Dan abides by not only in the court room but in his day to day life. He is an inspiration and a role model. We are truly blessed to know Dan and Madelon and are forever grateful for representing our case; our gratitude is beyond words. We cherish our relationship with Dan and feel that he is now part of our family as we have got to know him at a professional and personal level. Thank you, Dan, you are truly phenomenal! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Business Sale

Mr. Willard assisted in the process of selling my business. He reviewed the sales contract to ensure we were protected and given a fair deal. He has a great personality and great intelligence in interpreting business law. He worked with the buyers, lawyers, researched any questions, and offered a...dvice. He orchestrated the sale so that all parties were satisfied and the sale was closed. I would rate Mr. Willard as the best lawyer that I have dealt with and highly recommend him .

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
