Terrible experience with Dan Garon, upon arriving to speak about my case is the only time he showed any kind of concern/respect. Of course once the money was paid out all of that went out the window, Dan did ABSOLUTELY NO research and was no help to my case. He adjourned the first few court dates cla...iming we were waiting on evidence so that I would not have to pay $3200+ for false damages my ex claimed. First time I did show in court he sent his assistant instead and adjourned that court date as well claiming we were just going to see if she shows up and then go from there. I asked if she does show up then what? I was given a short barely any answer of "we'll see".
Well my ex showed up and Dan finally shows up and when we speak he tells me I have to pay the $3200 and receive a misdemeanor?! (Mind you this is only for a cracked headlight), I asked Dan why are we settling when she has showed no evidence? He says we have the evidence/pics and guess what Dan shows me? The pics that I presented to him myself showing the damage my ex did to MY house and car!!! That was when I realized he does not pay attention at all, from there he basically just wanted me to pay the money out right then and there while telling me "You need to make up your F*cking mind"!? I literally had to get up and leave from his face because things were about to go left real quick, I had to repeatedly tell Dan watch how you speaking to me. After I told him about his self he responded like a little school girl saying "well now your raising your voice at me" as if I didn't have the right when you speaking to me crazy, didn't do a lick of research, passive aggressive demeanor etc.
I had to keep expressing that I was on the last month of being on the "clean slate program" and this petty charge will set me back, Dan never remembered that even though I told him and his assistant multiple times. When I reminded him that he finally went and got a different deal where I pay the $3200 (still no evidence/never disputed the amount) and no charges, why would you not have presented that to me in the first place? Then when asked about payment he just kept saying they need it NOW, never pushed for a further date or anything until I had to keep going back and fourth with him, wanted to only give me a week but I asked for a month and was granted that.
SO all in all if I left my case up to Dan I would be paying $3200+ and have a new misdemeanor for a broken headlight. Avoid this fool at all cost, I never gave a**hole energy or come off that way esp when I'm speaking with a lawyer so the way he handled business struck me awfully wrong, from the looks of these reviews though I'm not alone, seems like all the terrible reviews from this office is only coming from DAN
