Daniel D. Kienker's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Daniel
John B. Shupper headshot
John Shupper

Family lawyer | Aug 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is an intelligent advocate of the highest integrity. We first met when he was a prosecutor and I defended a juvenile in a serious matter in family court just before he went in to private practice decades ago. Dan was very fair and professional. Since then I have seen him in family court and criminal court. He is always well prepared and I consider him a friend and good counsel if I have a question about a family law issue. Dan is a Colonel in the USAF, Ret., and a dedicated advocate for his clients. John B. Shupper"

Alimony lawyer | Sep 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Because we practice in the same geographic area, Dan is my opposing counsel on divorce cases frequently. I find him to be responsive, reasonable, and also diligent and effective on behalf of his clients. He has no hesitation about going to court if the case warrants it. Dan also practices in the area of criminal law. When I cannot take a case for one reason or another, Dan is one of the attorneys on my short list of people I regard highly enough to refer others to."
