Review Daniel Blau

Dismissed!!!

Posted by anonymousTue Jun 18 2013

Dan went above and beyond handling my case: Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury. He kept me informed every step of the way, got me in contact with a private investigator and even had the news groups remove my address from their websites. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, my case was dismissed!

WE WON OUR APPEAL THANKS TO DAN BLAU

Posted by ReneeFri Jun 14 2013

Dan Blau is a wonderful attorney. He was on our side from the beginning. He continually kept us informed. He did such a great job fighting for my Uncle's freedom. HE WON OUR APPEAL and helped reduce my uncle's sentence from 30 years to max 5 years. I highly recommend him.

Rashad Hauter, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 9, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Dan Blau is an excellent trial and appellate advocate. He is easily the most intelligent attorney in Wake County. Dan is also very personable and is an all-around good guy. I give him my highest recommendation.

Hart Miles, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 23, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Dan is a brilliant lawyer and his skills on the appellate level are top notch. He is also an excellent advocate at the trial level. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Steven Saad, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 10, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

You simply won't find a smarter criminal lawyer. Dan and I have worked on a few cases together, and I am continuosly impressed at his ideas and outside of the box thinking. Most lawyers with that level of intellect are lacking in people skills. that is not at all the case with Dan. He is as personable and approachable as he is intelligent. I whole heartedly endorse this excellent lawyer.

Dewey Brinkley, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 20, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Dan is a knowledgeable and tenacious advocate in State and Federal Court.

Anthony Tuorto, Criminal defense Attorney on Jun 19, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer.

James Brooks, Divorce and separation Attorney on Mar 19, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I went to law school with Dan and have seen him in action in the courtroom. He is a very knowledgable and passionate advocate.

James Jackson, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 10, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Dan is a fantastic attorney. He knows the law as well as anyone, and he is highly efficient in court. I trust him well enough to refer clients to him when I have a conflict of interest which requires me to refer the client to another attorney. I endorse this lawyer without hesitation.

Michael Waddington, Military law Attorney on Oct 13, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Daniel. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.
