Misdemeanor reduced

I called a few lawyers before Dan, however he was the only lawyer that could name the prosecutor for the township without having to look it up. Dan really took the time to hear me out and went to battle for me. I was originally charged with open intox a misdemeanor. I am going to school to be a nurse..., therefore it was crucial I had it reduced or I would have to completely change career paths. Dan did an awesome job and got it reduced to a civil infraction. I am so grateful I went with him.

Terry

Today I received my results from my hearing for Driver License Restoration and got good news. After nine years of having had a suspended or restricted drivers license, I finally have my trouble with the State of Michigan cleared up thanks to the help of Dan and his staff. I wanted to find a lawye...r who specialized in OWI's as I previously had bad luck working with another attorney who was not experienced in these types of cases. Mr. Geherin does a lot of these hearings and knows the hearing officers well. We approached the hearing prepared with all the questions that would be asked such as living location, sobriety periods, Sponsorship, ect. Dan also provided guides for what to do and what not to do during these hearings. On top of that, He provided two prep sessions prior to the hearing, giving me a realistic representation of the hearing to come. Dan and his team were always available for e-mails and phone calls when I had questions and they always provided quick responses. Dan said he takes these cases personally and that a win for me would be a win for him and his firm. He got creative with our approach and put me in the best possible position. I was provided instructions for how to win and that is exactly what we did. Dan was prepared to escalate the case to the circuit court if we had to. Fortunately, we did not. I personally know how difficult this situation is and having Dan in my corner guiding me was what I needed to get my drivers license back.

Great Representation!

Dan provided excellent representation for me throughout my case. He was very honest and proactive. Everything went smoothly and I always knew exactly what to expect from the courts. Dan has been a great resource for me to get me through this case and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of repres...entation.

The Best

Dan was phenomenal in helping me thru the lowest point of my life. He kept me informed throughout the process, was easily accessible at all times (our first conversation was @ 9pm on a Sunday), and is an all-around great guy. He's clearly experienced in criminal defense/DUI & DWI, and for a first tim...e offender, being represented by someone who very obviously knows what they're doing relieved a lot of worries & uncertainties. I was charged with an OWI with a BAC of 0.15, and Dan flawlessly relayed to the court the steps that I had taken to better myself prior to sentencing. Ultimately, Dan's work resulted in my charge being dropped to an OWVI and my probation sentence being decreased from 18 months to 12 months. Dan definitely helped me make the best out of a bad situation, so I would recommend his firm to anyone.

Extremely Grateful

Fully impressed. I have been in an 20 year battle with the state of Michigan over my driving privileges. In the past I was not heard at all, by the people making the decisions. Until I meet the Geherin Law firm. Dan himself, took my case to the top and quickly achieved what I and others could not. He... followed up and followed through with every word he told me. Very professional staff that actually hearse the problems and takes them head on. No games, just great results from great people!
