Fantastic Lawyer

My wife needed a lawyer to handle a situation and I was looking for a lawyer when I contacted Mr. Whiteheads office for help. Mr Whitehead said he could help and went into the office and also met with Mr Alan Miller. Mr Miller stated that they would work to help my wife out and make everything work ...out. We just got a phone call and was told that my wife was offered a agreement and was a VERY good agreement and my wife accepted the agreement. I would recommend Mr Whitehead to ANYONE who needs a lawyer. He cares about and fights hard for his clients.

Caring

Caring - Mr. Whitehead is very understanding took an interest in my case. His office is very helpful. Did a great job at representing the case. He is your voice for the ones who have no voice. He knows the system and how it works. And takes each case to heart. I highly recommend his office when you n...eed a voice to speak for you through the system. Would hire him again. Brenda

nice kind and understanding

I reached out to Mr Whitehead, he was kind talked to me about my issue for almost an hour before he was even hired. He was a down to earth individual that showed compassion for others as a human being. He treated me like a friend not just any old client. This warmed my heart and I feel I made the rig...ht choice in hiring him.

Outstanding Law Firm

The law office of Daniel Whitehead has represented me on two occasions. The staff worked together to keep me informed of the status of my situation. They were responsive to my email and telephone calls. Daniel personally let me know what their strategy was going to be before going into court and t...hey fought for me. They were well prepared going into court. I would highly recommend Daniel Whitehead and his staff. Bob

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.
