Daniel Aaron Seigel

My initial complaint drafted by Dan Seigel was dismissed by the Judge because it did not have the necessary facts included. Dan’s response to the Court? “But this is the same complaint I always file.” That is him in a nutshell. Charging far too much for boilerplate pleadings. I provided all of t...he facts necessary to write a detailed complaint – he included virtually none of them. And when I asked why, he told me, “I do this all the time,” and shut me down. I spent thousands of dollars only to have my complaint dismissed and then I had to start all over again – and pay him for it all over again. No apology, no discount for the amended filing, nothing. In Court he was easily rattled and made poor arguments; in one hearing he actually argued the Judge out of ruling on our behalf. On two of his five invoices he billed me at the wrong rate (higher than agreed upon, of course). When I pointed this out to him, he was curt and defensive with me. And when I fired him and found a new attorney, Dan contacted that new attorney five days after sending his final invoice to ask if he was going to get paid. His rate was 50% more than every other attorney I contacted, and while he advertises “concierge service,” the only thing concierge about his service was his price.

Dan was relentlessly focused and dedicated to helping me with a very complex family trust case. I was dealing with litigious family members and at my wits' end. Dan stepped in and used his many skills as both a litigator and negotiator to keep this case out of court. He kept me in the loop and update...d throughout, which I greatly appreciated. He is efficient with his time (=your money) and is not the kind of attorney who wastes time just to bill hours. Quite the contrary. This is exactly the type of lawyer I needed to resolve this outside a courtroom. I am immensely grateful, which is why I'm writing this review.

During a difficult time when the last thing you want to deal with is legal matters you can feel confident that you will be in excellent hands with Dan Seigel. His knowledge of the law is unsurpassed and he’s very protective of his clients. When others are trying to take advantage of you during an emo...tional time, Dan addresses matters in a direct, professional way that is in the best interest of his clients. He also follows the law, when other attorneys may do some questionable things ethically, Dan always acts within the law and you know that you have the best attorney when honesty is never in question. I can’t say enough positive things about Dan Seigel, having him represent us was the best thing we could have done.

Having an estate conflict with family members was a very stressful and unwelcome experience, but having Dan with us as a trusted and effective ally made it significantly more bearable. With his legal and strategic savvy and personal empathy, Dan always provided excellent advice—and he was our first c...all whenever a new question or issue arose. We can't recommend him highly enough to anyone facing estate litigation or other related legal needs. You might need a good therapist, but first it's crucial to have a good lawyer!
