This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best Lawyer in Metro Atlanta!!!

Dan is the BEST! He communicates well and keeps you informed through the whole process. He was professional at all times and got me the max for my case.

Knowledgeable and Credible

Attorney Daniel made sure he gave me the maximum compensation. He recommended a second opinion with one of his doctors to give the case more value. That demonstrates that he credibility in workers compensation. I am very satisfied with the results.

Attorney working for the people

Treated fairly by the attorney. He always stayed on point and if anything changed he told me. The attorney was thorough and took his job very seriously and liked how he handled the case. I injured my lower back and knee and workers comp gave me the run around. I got an MRI and the attorney made sure ...I got the medical attention I deserved.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
