Great representation!

My situation was unique as I am deaf and had a case against the state. When searching for an attorney (Three years ago, and the case settled a couple of months ago) Those two issues were big issues for attorneys considering my case. One being that I was deaf and the concern of how we would "communi...cate" and who would "foot the interpreter bill (which can be astronomical granted)". This was heart breaking because ADA (Americans with Disabilities act was enacted in 1990 and this was an issue -- generally. The second issue was the protections surrounding State cases. I didn't understand that until I went through this journey for reasons too complicated to explain here. Daniel was the ONLY attorney who I felt well equipped to take me and the state on. He had this gung ho personality who -- while navigating unchartered waters by taking on a deaf client -- had this attitude of "we will make this work somehow" and was willing to experiment and keep an open mind. His dedication to me and the case while going after the state went above and beyond what I have come to expect from attorneys I have worked with professionally and personally. His dedication to investigation, evidence review, discovery and negiotation for the best resolution was at times unorthordox but produced results I was pleased with. He exceeded my expectations and crafted a resolution that rehabilitated my career and allowed me to finally heal and move on with my life. As a result of our three year journey, we have become friends and respect eachother as professional colleagues in our chosen professions. I highly recommend Daniel. You will not regret it.

5 stars! I would recommend him to anyone!

I have had the best experience working with Daniel Arciniegas. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone seeking legal help for civil rights, class action, and/or employment and labor. My case was a restaurant case involving tip stealing/non-payment of wages. Daniel settled my case quicker than I ...ever imagined and was able to completely exceed my expectations on the amount of damages I was able to receive in the end. Daniel treats you as a person rather than a client. He made sure that I was completely taken care of throughout the entire process. He was very thorough in explaining the details of my case "in English" rather than in law language and welcomed any questions that I ever had. I also do not live in Birmingham, but that was never an issue! We were able to completely settle the case over the phone and through email and never actually had to meet face to face. I have never had to hire a lawyer before I hired Daniel. Seeking legal advice can be intimidating at first, but Daniel is definitely someone that you can trust. He is honestly working for you and not for himself. He will always put his clients first.
