Olivia

Dan did an amazing job with my case. He went above and beyond to ensure that I obtained the best outcome possible. He always answered my calls (even on weekends), represented me in court when I had other obligations, and always EXTREMELY helpful. I would highly recommend Dan Carman as a lawyer.

Epitomy of Representation

Not enough can be said about Dan. As an attorney, a counselor, a father, and a husband, Dan wears many hats very well. He has poise and unwavering composure that allows him to be very efficent and successful in the courtroom. I was able to witness the great rapport that he has with his colleagues and... others in the judicial system. Thanks to Dan, my case has been dismissed. If you want a job well done I would refer any and everybody to the Law offices of Dan Carmen

He is not a good attorney

I hired mr carman I paid him 5000$ to represent me on a DUI first offense He did not do much of anything He did manage to miss a filing date And then proceeded to move up my sentencing date in the hopes that would not find out what he had done until after I was already sentenced how anyone co...uld be so sinister in their dealings with someone who has entrusted them with their well being is beyond understanding Mr carman explained it to me that the evidence against me which consisted of a BAC of .092 was just to much for him to handle So after I realized what he had done ( missing the filing date by 24 hours then neglecting to inform me of his negligence ) I went back and read everyone of his online reviews All of which consist of mindless generic praise that sounds more along the lines of someone who has written his own reviews then it does by previous clients only one review he has actually goes into detail as to what this attorney did for that client and it is a one star review I did not find mr carman to be anything like what his praise said he was He wasn't busting with knowledge he wasn't ready to take on my case like a tiger he wasn't easy to get in touch with he didn't keep my informed All I can really say he did was take my money and throw me under the bus I am ashamed that I hired this guy

Randy, I'm sorry that you feel as you do. Over the years, my firm has represented thousands of clients successfully, and often with very good results. Unfortunately, like a medical problem that can include lengthy treatments with results to be determined, a legal problem can have a strong effect on one's emotions. As always, you can call me on my cell phone at 859.396.1049 to discuss things personally. Occasionally a case comes along that has some unusual elements - it involves 3+ years of litigation -- even on a misdemeanor charge -- multiple mistrials, multiple defense attorneys, an appeal, and even witnesses who at first seem favorable for the defendant, only later to turn against him. Such cases are tough for everybody, especially the defendant. In any event, I want the best for each of my clients, including each one feeling as satisfied as humanly possible, under the circumstances. Please call me anytime to talk.

Real Deal

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

You want the best, Dan is just that!

Dan is a very well knowledgable attorney. He will do everything in his power to make sure you get the justice you deserve. He will be honest and let you know what needs to be done, even if you don't like it, listen to him. I learned from my own experience to trust him, because in the end he knows bes...t when it comes to law. I am a very impatient, strong willed and stubborn person, and he never got irritated with me, he always made me feel easy. Some attorneys won't answer the phone or reply, not Dan he is on top of things. I bugged him a lot, because I am so impatient and he was right there to answer my questions. If you want certain result from your case, he will get it.
