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.

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.
