Dan will exceed your expectations. I guarantee it.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dan Geherin and his law firm; choosing Dan to represent me will forever be one of the best decisions that I have made. I hired Attorney Dan Geherin for a criminal case. I was very pleased with my experience. Dan was knowledgeable, proactive, prompt, and kind. I do appreci...ate that. It was a tough time for me, but it is his professional support that made me feel better.

Dedicated Excellance

Dan Geherin is by far one of the most prolific attorneys I have ever seen step into a courtroom. When I met him, it was and still is one of the lowest points of my life. I was involved in a serious car accident involving a bicyclist on a dark rainy night. We immediately hired his law firm through wor...d of mouth from another local community attorney. I was facing a maximum of 25 years in Prison however with Dan's excellent legal knowledge and proactive skills, i was fortunate by the grace of God to serve time in the local county jail under 11 months. I strongly believe and know that Dan is a man of high morals and good character. His professionalism and his staff hosted the prefect environment for me and my family members. I highly suggest if you ever encounter legal issues that you contact Dan Geherin, it will be the best decisions you will ever make.

Dan helped me get a fully restored driver's licenses after two DUIs

I had two DUIs within the same year back in 2010/2011. My driver’s license was completely revoked as a result. Dan got me a restricted license on my first hearing and he got it fully restored for me at my second hearing. Dan knows the process very well and I think anyone will get a good outcome if th...ey just follow exactly what he says. I would highly recommend him.

No-nonsense criminal defense attorney

I hired Attorney Dan Geherin for a criminal case. Unlike some lawyers, he provide me of clear and straightforward legal assessment for my case, and presented me options that I can choose. No false hope. But with his knowledge of the court, many questions that I had were resolved very quickly. With h...is counsel, my case proceeded successfully as he explained before going to the court.

Dan Is THE MAN

I retained Dan Geherin to defend against two criminal charges after having made a mistake by hiring a less than stellar attorney in the area. Hiring a good attorney can make a world of difference, as I soon learned. But let's be honest, Mr. Geherin is not a good attorney, he is a GREAT one. Dan fi...rst worked skillfully to handle the machinations of a state prosecutor's office that was clearly discombobulated and seemed to lack any good sense or rational thought. Dan then combined his hard work, knowledge of the law and superlative trial abilities to beat the two ridiculous criminal charges against me. It has been said many times before, Dan is "the man", and nothing could be truer in this case.

"Mr. Geherin and I worked together to assist a client in his pre-trial release. Mr. Geherin did everything in his power to achieve the client's release. I was most impressed, and it was a pleasure to work with an attorney who was as dedicated as he was to assist the client and his family during a very difficult time. He has earned his good reputation for obvious reasons."
