      Review Daniel Blau

      Dismissed!!!

      Posted by

      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

      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.

      Thorough and Knowledgeable

      Posted by

      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 explanations. The only reason we chose not to proceed is because he was not available for the extensive representation we would need.

      Charges Dismissed!

      Posted by

      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 keeping me updated and informed. I highly recommend him!

      Top Quality Service and Best Results Possible

      Posted by

      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-thought out legal counsel; consistent communication and patience in answering any and all questions I had along the way; and effectiveness in generating the best possible outcome for my case are truly appreciated.

      Great Job Handling Ticket

      Posted by

      My wife received a citation in an accident, and Dan took care of everything, getting the ticket dismissed. I've referred several friends and clients of mine to him and have always gotten great feedback from them.

      Rashad Hauter, Criminal defense Attorney on Jan 8, 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, Appeals 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

      I endorse this lawyer.

      James Brooks, Criminal defense 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, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 12, 2012
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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