Some Superheroes don't wear capes!

Dan Collier gave me expert legal advice promptly. He helped me to navigate a complicated ugly divorce of 34 years. I was afraid, ashamed, and not sure how I was going to be able to get through the divorce with my sanity and enough resources to live on afterward. I sincerely appreciated that he resp...ected my desires and opinions but always gave me sage advice based on his experiences that ultimately led to a resolution in my best interest. More than the sage advice the feeling that someone cares when you are at your lowest point matters more than anything else. He is a lawyer of integrity, that did what he said he would do when he said he would do it in a professional and kind way. Yes, there are some superheroes that don't wear capes that save lives with the law. This is Dan Collier. He not only rescued me but gave me a new lease on life. Oh, my what a beautiful joy-filled life. I do not have words to express my gratitude.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Dan and I were colleagues at a prior firm. We worked together on several litigation matters. Dan is a very smart, analytical, diligent, and capable lawyer. The "anonymous" review from October 2020 is entirely inconsistent with my experiences with Dan. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney in Northern Virginia."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Daniel and I went to law school together and worked side by side on many assignments. He is, hands down, one of the most competent and reliable attorneys you could find. Dan brings to the table the right mix of big picture thinking and detail-oriented execution. Over the years I’ve known him, Dan’s firm grasp of the law and his dedication to solutions never seized to impress. I recommend this attorney 100%."

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.
