Down to earth guy

Dan is the only lawyer I have ever experienced with a "down to earth" demeanor. He thoroughly explains something, when needed or asked, and talks to you like a human being. He doesn't throw of "shtick" or try to confuse you with big words. He also goes out of his way to help you out. He is a great gu...y.

Expert Attorney

I am in the process of working with Dan on a criminal charge. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He has my best interest in mind and I am very confident in his abilities. I would not want to work with anyone else on this matter, and I believe that a positive outcome will preva...il with Dan behind me. If anyone is looking for someone to represent them with passion, knowledge, confidence, and trust, call Dan today.

CUSTODY/PATERNITY/BACK SUPPORT

******PLEASE READ****** My name is Brian H. I live in Carmel, In. My Fiancé had a VERY serious issue with her 3 year old daughters father. Even though its clear he loves his daughter he was not a complete parent. I have been with her for 18 months and he has never paid support, medical bills, bought ...cloths, food, anything. There was, like always, a hard communication issue. To say the least, we could never agree on anything supportive or productive, however we still continued to allow him visitation, even though he never financially supported his daughter when she was not visiting him. Finally we approached him and made clear what we felt was his responsibilities as a father, we took the time to download and give him copies of The Indiana Parenting time Guidelines, the Financial worksheet for child support, and all supporting doccumentation that showed him what the outcome would be if we proceeded legally. We tried for 6 months without filing with the court. However, and haha, when we finally drew the line and said we would have to, he turned around and filed for full custody of his daughter citing her mom being unfit. NOW MIND YOU this is a MOTHER who not only carried her daughter for 9 months but has also taken the best care and provided absolutley everything any child could ever want or need since birth but now has to DEFEND herself in open court to the state of Indiana. SO Thats when I started my research, SO YOU DONT HAVE TO! Daniel Whitehead was by far the best choice. I am blessed to have a six figure income and we could afford to retain any attorney we felt would give us the best support we would need in such a trying emotional time. From the beginning they made us feel comfortable and important. Let me say this, I have used 10 plus attorneys in my time in business and she is as good a chief of staff as there is around, period! (this is more important than most people realize) There are a few key points you need to look for when hiring an attorney. Here are a couple, find a local attorney who knows the system, the LAW, and the judge. YES I said the Judge. During my research I found out that Daniel has practiced in the same system for 16 plus years, has never had a judicial reprimand and after meeting him has the best "Im gonna kick their butt attitude" I think any attorney has had. Daniel can come off very confident, not cocky but confident almost to a scary point. I didn't "get" it until about our 3rd meeting and I consider myself an above average intelligent person. HE JUST KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!!!!!! Listen to me or you WILL BE SORRY, for the money he's not inexpensive but he was as competitive as anyone, you will NEVER find another attorney that is more passionate, educated, experienced, no B/S guy you will find practicing law in Madison county. Everyone has an opinion, but always use common sense when reading reviews. DO your homework I did and I can tell you with 100% certinty IF YOU DONT HAVE HIM REPRESENTING YOU, you are at a severe disadvantage and you are taking your future in your own hands. Further, I will just leave you with this, If you have only one decision to make that needs to be the right one, pick the best lawyer that gives you the best chance. If anyone believes that having the best attorney doesn't matter, they are probably sitting in JAIL or they lost their kid. DONT BE STUPID.

Great Law Firm

Dan Whitehead has been my attorney for several matters beginning with an accident claim shortly after he started his practice, and currently he is handling some family matters. He has always been knowledgeable and reasonable, and works hard to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. The ...people on his staff are professional and courteous, and will provide timely updates as the case may warrant. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Excellent attorney

I hired Mr Whitehead to help me with a custody issue. We are not finished yet, but to this point Mr Whitehead has been extremely informative and attentive to our needs. If you are in need of legal counsel in Central Indiana, I would definitely recommend Mr Whitehead.
