I have focused my career on being an aggressive trial attorney. My experience in the courtroom, my knowledge of the law, and my knowledge of the details of the facts of the case give me the confidence to be a highly effective advocate and the edge to allow me to zealously represent my clients in front of a Judge or a Jury. I have trial experience in criminal cases involviong both midemeanors and felonies (inlcuding capitol cases where a life-sentence is posssible), civil cases, personal injury and divorce.

Great Representation
Mr. Damman did his job very well and made the process quite easy. He was very informative and puts me down the right path for the best outcome. His courtroom manner is second to none. I would highly recommend his services to anyone needing top notch representation.

Brilliant attorney
Mr. Damman practices law with integrity and efficiency. His ingenuity and persistency made a world of difference with regard to the positive outcome of our case. He was able to adjust well to the complexities of our case as it evolved. He’s also very personable, thoughtful, and reassuring.

DUI’S
Mr Damman was hired to help my brother with a dui he received driving a boat. In the process of dealing with this situation he received another dui while driving a vehicle. Which gave him his 3rd DUI. Throughout process his secretary Belinda was on top of hearings and very informative on questions we had and if she couldn’t answer she would get answers from Dan within the hour. He was very good with the in’s and out’s of the courtroom and moved quickly when he needed to. He was able to get really good plea deals. He moves quickly and doesn’t drag out hearings. I believe he is a very respectable attorney and prosecutors are willing to work and listen to him. I would definitely use/recommend him to my friends and family.

Personable
Dan Damman performed excellent legal services for my son! He was very personable and really took his time explaining everything to us and made sure we understood all that was going on. He displayed genuine concern in my sons success after his sentencing and not just during the trial. He told us the hard facts even though they were hard to hear but also was gentle in guiding us and being sincere in wanting my son to get his life together and walk the right path. Thanks Dan for all you did for us we appreciate you more than you know!!

Dan has a great relationship with other lawyers, as well as, judges throughout the area where he practices. He’s upfront, he works hard to make sure his clients get treated fairly, and it’s a mistake if you don’t hire him to take care of any law needs you may have!

Is a man of his word
After doing the research, we chose Dan as our lawyer. He was upfront and honest and got our son a sentence he won't carry on his shoulders forever. He understood people make mistakes, but learn from them, and made the judge understand that as well. Dan was more than a attorney, he cares about his clients and understands good people can make bad choices. Everyone deserves a second chance, and need not have a record for a bad choice. We would highly recommend Dan to all who need a good, professional,and honest man to represent them.

I did a lot of research on what to look for in a defense attorney. Simply put: Dan checked every box. He was good on his word without setting unrealistic expectations.

Outstanding - an honest 5 star attorney who really cares and fights for his clients!
Daniel Damman was absolutely excellent. He was very professional, spent a great deal of time with me, gave me very good advice and really took my case and treated me like it was the most important case he had. He truly cares and wants the best for his clients and his response time returning my calls was great. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that is seeking an honest, hard working and very reliable attorney. I can't speak highly enough of this man. I've dealt with other attorneys before and he is far superior to any of the other ones. I can't say enough nice things about him. He is a special attorney and I would never use anyone else!

Lawyer review
I was charged with the same charge twice within a three month time frame violating probation the second time not only with the new charge but with drinking as well. It seemed there was no option but jail time. Dan was there everystep of the way. He directed me to take certain classes and prepared me very well for my sentencing. Before seeing the judge she was going to give me 30 days in jail. Dan spoke in a way about me that blew my mind and directed me how to speak as well. I poured my heart out and so did he and to my amazement she believed in me and took Dans word for how much I turned my life around. I’m positive that without Dan on my side I would be sitting in jail right now, jobless and very down. I owe my freedom to him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

First Class
Mr. Damman provided me with first class service during a very stressful time of my life. He showed incredible empathy for me and my family, I absolutely felt like he put himself in my shoes. His passion showed during the days of the trial and his strong convictions and confidence paid off with an "acquittal" of all criminal charges. Job well done, Dan! Thank You!

Dan Damman provides Great Service!
Mr. Damman helped me get through the system regarding several charges. He was very informative and upfront throughout the whole process, setting realistic expectations for the outcome. He (and his team) were very responsive to my questions and concerns. The outcome of my matter was fair given the circumstances, and I want to thank Mr. Damman for his help. I would definitely recommend Mr. Damman and his entire team!

Very professional, A pleasure to work with
Dan was very professional and accommodating he took care of our situation, made time in his schedule to deal immediately with the problem this was, I believe one of the reasons we had a positive outcome during this process. Dan's willingness to make time in his schedule immediately to talk with us allowed us to get out in front of our issues immediately and probably, change the outcome to a more positive then the negative it could have been. Everybody we came in contact with at the office was polite and courteous made us feel at home which was nice considering the stress our family was under at the time. I highly recommend Dan to deal with legal issues and if ever I need an attorney again he'll be the first person I call.

Review
Mr. Damman was so professional, and he really cared about my case. I was charged with an OWI, and he got it down to a careless driving. I am forever thankful for what Mr. Damman did for me because I know this is very rare. I would recommend him to anyone in need of professional assistance.

Mr. Damman is professional, knowledgable, effective, and kind. I couldn't be happier with the way my case was handled by his office. Thanks to his humorous and informative demeanor, a stressful and confusing legal situation became tolerable and understandable. I appreciated his time and hard work in my case, and I highly recommend his services to anyone!

Professional, honest, stand up guy
Dan helped us with the defense of our teenage son. It was a very scary time for us. He was honest, straight forward and patient with our many questions. He obtained the best possible outcome at the time for our son and we are forever grateful. Hopefully we never need his services again. Do not hesitate to hire him if you need representation.
