Very Professional, highly recommended

I highly recommend Daniel. He has gone above and beyond, has been extremely professional and replies to questions very fast. Working with him has been a pleasure. We hired him and used his services to investigate and pursue removal of a trustee from a family trust.

Resolved family limited partnership problems

Handled a difficult infra family inheritance dispute with a family limited partnership. Great result and would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a probate trial lawyer.

Posted by Ira | February 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

A special person and a lawyer

I have a complex family estate and trust situation full of family acrimony. I sought counsel with Mr McGowan after visiting with many other lawyers and being well versed in commercial and professional litigation. Mr. McGowan is heads and shoulders above his peers. He has the utmost compassion, prof...essionalism, insight and ability to sought through the complexities with surgical precision. He is no doubt one of the brightest attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and potentially the smartest. It is with great pleasure that I fully endorse Mr. McGowan without any reservation but rather many accolades.

The Best

Without reservation, I highly recommend Dan McGowan. He and his partner, Adrian Thomas, took on a complicated Undue Influence case in estate litigation and prevailed in securing my inheritance. Jurisdictional issues involved 3 states in the course of litigation. I employed 7 other attorneys during... a course of 12 years to try and resolve the litigation. Dan went the extra mile to insure the preponderance of evidence would ensure a positive outcome for me.

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.
