Having previously spent a great deal of money on incompetent lawyers just to receive disastrous results, it was reassuring to consult with an attorney who not only demonstrated the required level of expertise, but also took time to patiently research and respond to my questions with thorough explanat...
Posted by Anna | April 8, 2018 | Hired Attorney
I hired Dan Blau after I lost my case in the Supreme Court of North Carolina. He explained that we had a chance to win my case on a motion for appropriate relief. They are generally difficult to win but he was able to get all of my convictions overturned and dismissed. He was always great about keepi...

I highly recommend the services of Hale Blau & Saad. I recently found myself in need of high quality legal counsel and representation. After much searching online and multiple consultations face-to-face, I decided to hire Dan Blau as my attorney. Dan's commitment to providing informative, well-though...

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
