Excellent

Mr. Damman represented my son on a criminal charge. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable but also very honest about what to expect. He explained the process and let us know what the worst and best case scenarios were and then worked hard to get us the best. I have worked with several l...awyers in the past and this was by far the best experience I have had.

Great choice

I hired Dan Damman to be my attorney for a 93 day misdemeanor charge that I was facing. We went to a jury trial and the verdict was not guilty. I was very happy with the results. Dan is a great attorney and a nice guy. He always returned my phone calls and answered any questions I had with an honest ...answer and went over all of my options and didn't try to persuade me in any one direction. I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone needing a defense attorney.

Quick and effective.

Dan represented me in a failure to report incident. He was able to get the misdemeanor cleared and I ended up with just a traffic citation. He was very easy to talk to and made the whole situation very stress free. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great Lawyer

Recently hired Mr.Damman for a criminal case. He did his job very well. The outcome of the case was exactly what we had hoped for. He walked us through every step of the process from beginning to end as well as made sure we understood everything every step of the way. Everytime I had questions (which... was a lot) I would email him and would have a response usually within the hour. Never once did I have to relay information and responses through a secretary, he always made sure to take care of it personally. He was compassionate along with very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Mr. Damman and feel confident he would handle your case as well as he did mine.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Caring

Mr. Damman represented me during a very stressful criminal / family matter. He was honest and understanding from the beginning until the end. It was apparent that Mr. Damman was well respected by the Prosecutors Office, Courts, and Probation Office. I never had to question his guidance or reco...mmendations. Dan could not change the fact that I broke the Law and was charged criminally. However, he helped turn a very stressful, unfortunate matter into a penalty that I could live with. I cannot thank him enough…. Kurt S.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Damman on a contentious matter involving a zoning dispute with a Township in St. Clair County. Mr. Damman's knowledge of the county court system, local politics and zoning procedures proved invaluable. Mr. Damman's professionalism and experience in litigation helped us settle the case. If I ever have occasion to refer a client to a Port Huron attorney, I will look first to Mr. Damman."

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.
