Dan Dannheisser is the BOMB!!!! HIRE HIM!!! You will never regret!!

Dan Dannheisser was the consummate professional throughout our lawsuit! He was ahead of the game from start to finish. He hired the top of the top professionals to investigate our lawsuit using drone photographers and best of the best to find out all the information about the codes violations of thos...e involved with mu husband's injury. First, he interviewed us. He listened intently to our issues and he took action! Dan Dannheisser is the best lawyer you could ever have in an injury lawsuit! We wish we could give him 10 stars!!! We have never had an injury lawsuit, before! We will be forever grateful we found Dan to represent us in a very contentious lawsuit!!! He is the best of the best, in our opinion! Dan will never let you down! We are forever grateful for his counsel!!! He is the wonderful!!

Trustworthy, Proven Success

I first contacted Dan about two years ago seeking legal advice on a specific matter. Since then I've retained his firm on various civil matters. He's incredibly smart and candid. I plan to continue utilizing his expertise and wealth of experience .

Not Just The Best Attorney...Dan is A Great Man!

I hired Dan during the most difficult time in my life. Not only did he provide excellent legal advice, he also guided me through drama that ensued and reminded me to "rise above" the nonsense. His common sense, decency, and extensive knowledge about the law combine to make him the perfect attorney. ...Had it not been for him, I may have sunk to the level of those seeking to harm me which would caused me ongoing pain. Dan is an upstanding, outstanding person who I will always hold on my highest pedestal.
