Knowledgeable lawyer and strong court representation!

We have come to know Attorney Daniel Fast over two years and three different court cases for custody and visitation of my children. These were cases involving families from three different states. We found Dan on an internet review site, so we hope this review helps someone else seeking expert help... in custody, visitation or divorce case representation. Dan is a very competent lawyer who knows the law and gave us sound advice on what was important legally to our case. He is an advocate for children and parents and worked to represent our case within the law. He prepared us well for court and provided us with a strong court defense. We appreciated the help that Dan gave us in representing my request for my child to be returned to my primary custody. This was a long process and very nerve wracking. Dan was available to talk with me by phone which helped me feel like I was doing all I could to advocate for my children. Dan also helped me complete a divorce proceeding. Dan has a great office assistant Pam who took my messages and kept me informed about the next time I would be able to talk with Dan. I would highly recommend Attorney Dan Fast for anyone looking for help with custody or divorce cases.

Went the Extra Mile

My case was extremely high profile and Mr. Fast was sensitive to that. He arranged for my arraignment several days ahead of schedule to prevent a media frenzy. Additionally, he worked with the Commonwealth's Attorney to nolle prosequi the majority of charges and he is excellent in court. He succes...sfully discredited the Commonwealth's only witness at my sentencing hearing. He is also well respected in the legal community. Knowledgeable, confident, and extremely intelligent.

Fast Dan!

Mr Fast is an interesting character. He's extremely bright and knows his stuff. He's got a bit of a cocky attitude in court, but it's probably because he will scrutinize every detail of the case, by word, and if something slips, you can bet he'll catch. He made me anxious because he makes you think h...e's gonna be late to court, and just as you're about to leave to walk to his office, he'll show up more prepared than commonwealth. And he does it with such ease, you can tell he loves what he does. He is my lawyer from on, I highly recommend him to anyone with any case.
