W. Daniel Carman

2016 People call defense attorneys because the consequences of their legal issues might cost them jail time and or serious fines. We are a little scared whether we are guilty or innocent. I needed an attorney who could either win my case, or use his experience to make the difference between minimu...m and maximum sentencing a reality. Dan was the third attorney I called. I hired him because he did not try to "sell" me, He simply asked specific questions about my case, and about my legal history. By doing this, he understood everything the prosecutors already knew. He told me an effective attorney works both in the courtroom, and behind the scenes. I was concerned his fees would be too much to afford. Not so, his fee was much less than I expected. I learned over time that he shares a mutual respect with area prosecutors. Considering both sides want to win, good relationships allow your attorney and the prosecution to more accurately measure each other's level of confidence. I understood that going to trial is a decision, not a fact. We decided to go to trial Shortly before we went to trial, Dan convinced the prosecution to drop the charges. My confidence in the legal system is restored. Dan is the real deal. Name withheld Lexington, KY

Mr. Carmen was always able to resolve my issues no matter how big or small. I was always able to reach him on his cell or he returned my call that day. He is very professional and explores all avenues before closing a case. I would highly recommed Mr. Carmen for any criminal case. He is also cost eff...icient.

I suggest you save your time and money. If you want someone to set up an appointment and make you wait 30+ minutes why he paces around adjusting pictures or complaining his secretary isn't around and then ramble on with no helpful information. Then says he will contact you before court date but doesn...'t, only to show up 30 minutes late to court and drag you in the hall and says your best option is to plead guilty. So here you are thinking you gave someone $1500 dollars and the best he has to offer is the prosecutor is willing to give the minimum sentence if you plead guilty. Next thing I know I am in front of the Judge having my license removed and sentence to 4 days in jail. My blood level came back at 1.53. This is .03 over the 1.5 which then they charge as aggravated. The .03 is below the accuracy of the test. So I assumed when Dan the man said plead guilty it wouldn't be to aggravated. Well here I am out the $1500 dollars, license gone, car setting outside and Dan the Man smiling walking out the door with easy money. Save your money on this guy. Oh I got pulled over after leaving a poker game with the city police sergeant and other officers. I had 2.25l of 13 percent wine over a 6 hour period. Some that might sound a lot but its barely over one drink an hour. An officer pulled me over because he said I turned my turn signal on too late. It was 12:30 at night and I was stopped to turn left onto 27. The light took at least 4 minutes to change. Waited it out it turned green and as I started to turn I saw a car in my rear view mirror approaching very rapidly. So in the middle of the turn I put on my turn signal. Well I barely made it through the intersection before the car was right on my bumper. I am in a civic so the lights were pretty blinding. It took me a bit to see it was a cop. Well he followed for about mile and pulled me over. So probably not good cause to pull me over. Definitely should have gotten out of aggravated. Dan is not your man. Good luck. Oh yea I forgot to mention. Dan the Man says he does DUI's all the time. What a racket.

I retained Mr Carman based to on the recommendation of some extremely prominent Civil Attorneys who do not handle criminal cases yet highly recommended him. I must admit I was a little apprehensive at first because I live out of state and I never met him face to face only talking over the phone and ...via email coupled with the fact that his fee was very reasonable and to be honest was less than I expected to pay. My fears very quickly disappeared and I realized I had hired a very extremely competent lawyer who was knew his way around the courtroom and had a very good relationship with the prosecutors office. After a few court dates which I did not even have to travel from out of state to attend and after being kept up to date, my teenage son's major traffic violations that caused a 3 year licence suspension was reduced to minor traffic infractions that were not even going on his driving record and kept his licence intact. I never dreamed in a million years of such a favorable outcome and I was very pleased with the outstanding results this fine Attorney delivered. I have dealt with many lawyers who promised me the moon only to not pan out in the end. He is certainly not that, he is a very well versed very competent Attorney with the relationships that enable him to get favorable results for his clients. Outstanding communication. Extremely favorable results. Very Fair Fee. A very nice guy who truly cares about his clients. Dan is the Man!!!!
