Trustworthy, Reliable and Knowledgeable

Daniel Gurtner was my attorney during a difficult divorce that lasted over a year. This would have lasted much longer if it was not for his guidance and knowledge of understanding our legal system and always being in constant contact with me. I hired him for a mutual dissolution and we soon found out... it was going to be a full on nasty divorce. He had knowledge of what the judge and magistrate wanted and to keep things brief and factual. My ex went the complete opposite way and like Daniel told me, the judge saw through all the lies and granted me everything I asked for. This was a battle that I feared for years and had I not had Daniel to support and guide me through it, It could have been a a completely different outcome. I can not stress how important it is to have an attorney who leaves their ego at the door, is professional and extremely knowledgeable representing you! THANK YOU AGAIN DANIEL!

So happy for taking a chance!

When the attorney that did my divorce retired he referred me to his partner, Tracy Younkin. Since 2005 Tracy has handled everything I've ever needed legally, so of course I called him when I finally decided to file for bankruptcy. When I emailed him to get some info I received a return call from Dani...el. He had informed me that he was taking over some of Tracy's caseload and asked if I minded him working on mine. I remember emailing Tracy and asking what he thought of Dan and if he'd be alright doing my bankruptcy. (I can be difficult at times and tend to procrastinate.) He assured me that Daniel was a dedicated, hard worker and that I should give him a chance. I trust Tracy with anything he says and know that he always has my best interest in mind and would never steer me wrong. Dan turned out to be exactly what I needed. Along with being a hard worker, he was always pleasant to talk to. I felt like I was his only client as I never had trouble getting a hold of him and he always followed through on what he said. He made sure that every creditor, account number and correct amount was included and that I did everything that I was required to do. If he had a question or needed clarification on anything he would call or email me right away and if I didn't respond he'd follow up with me until I did. He was great at answering my questions and after explaining things, he'd make sure that I understood. I am extremely grateful that Dan took care of my bankruptcy and that it was taken care of so quickly and easily. Once it was done, he still took care of things that came up afterwards rather than just blowing me off. I really can't say it enough, but I am very thankful to have worked with him. I know referrals are one of the best forms of flattery so I have sent my friends to him and will always refer to him anytime it's requested!

I hired Dan to represent me for bankruptcy after my divorce. He was extremely patient with me, very knowledgeable when I asked questions, returned every call in a timely manner and was very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family!!!
