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.

If you need a tough and smart litigator for any disputed or complex Will, Trust, Probate or other Estate matter in Florida, call Dan Seigel. You will be glad that you did and you won't need to call anyone else. He is knows the law, he fights hard, he protects his clients and he wins. Beyond that, ...he is able to compassionately convey what is the right thing for you to do based on his decades of experience in this area of the law. When it comes to protecting yourself or a loved one who has passed away and they can't speak on their own behalf but you know what they would say, let Dan be that voice. You will not be disappointed, you will be better off that he was on your side, and the other side will quickly see they are in trouble.

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.

I hired Daniel to help with an unfortunate situation involving a family member's estate. The situation was messy and complicated. He was quick to identify how we should approach the case and we executed against a plan that Daniel crafted. The net result, after many months and much work by Daniel, was... that the estate went to its rightful heirs. He was available to chat throughout the case and was professional. I would recommend him to friends and use him again.

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!
