To quote the Judge, Mr. Sczesny is one of our young outstanding lawyers!

I hired Mr. Daniel Sczesny and sought his councel for over 2 years. I found him to be very knowledgable and spot on with his recommendations. He was always quick to respond back & would sort through my concerns putting into perspective what was important. His diligence, ability to express the fact...s, quickly on his feet; gave me the confidence and support I needed to enter the courtroom time and again. Mr. Sczesny is to be respected & his councel invaluable.

Reliable assisatance when you need it most

Attorney Dan Sczesny gave me excellent service from start to finish. He was able to put a close to my quadro that lasted for 2 years. I was very grateful and pleased with his services. He is very knowledgeable, reliable and kind-hearted person and he always kept me updated with the progress of my ca...se. I highly recommend his services.

Needed a second opinion

I needed to have my previous shared parenting plan revised and my ex was reluctant and demanded litigation. I contacted Dan after losing confidence in my previous lawyer. I instantly noted the exceptional professionalism. Dan works very quickly and I have always received copies of all legal ...documents completed. He was very accessible via phone, text, or email. I enjoyed his matter of fact perspective and he stood up for my rights as a father. Dan was able to accomplish my parenting plan revision under difficult circumstances. I have recommended him to many and will continue to do so.

Highly recommend!!

Daniel James Sczesny has been absolutely amazing for me with my legal needs! He was very upfront with me and explained what I should expect as well as kept me informed throughout my process. From answering emails, making calls and even sending me texts to keep me up to date with all that was goi...ng on throughout my legal process. Daniel came highly recommended to me and I am proud to recommend him to all friends or family looking for legal representation. While going through the legal process Daniel kept my best interest and helped with making decisions that made sense for my needs and future. From explaining to me all the legal terms to understanding what I should expect from the outcome of my trial he was there for me. Daniel even picked up on things that my opposing attorney missed and was able to catch them in time in order to protect me from future problems. Daniel was very trust worthy when it came to explaining to him my legal issues and made me feel like I was a priority in his legal world. Over all I was extremely pleased with his legal representation and if I need represented in the future I will gladly make him my one and only phone call.
