Amazing!

I have been involved in small town politics my entire life. When choosing an attorney, I discussed my options of local representation and knew I would need outside counsel. I'm realistic because I know how the political, judicial machine functions. Im convinced had I not chosen outside counsel, I wou...ldve settled for a punishment, that I didnt deserve. Several political proponents for freedom of speech recommended Daniel. I've never been accused of a crime in my life and he was who I needed. Thankfully I was cleared of the crime I didn't commit, and Daniel was the driving force, in that process, defending my freedom of speech. I'm extremely grateful for his preliminary trial argument, that won my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
