Glad I went with Mr. Geherin

I hired Mr. Geherin to help with my DUI case. The whole way through, he and his staff were responsive, knowledgeable, pleasant and did exactly what they promised. His advice was always easy to understand, which is invaluable when you're not a legal expert. This charge was an incredibly stressful situ...ation, but because of Mr. Geherin's expertise everything went as well as it possibly could have. I highly recommend him if you're on the fence.

Such a great result!

Dan and his team did a great job for me. Communication at every step was crystal clear and virtually immediate. Dan gave me great advice. Real talk with no sugar coating. In the end, I got the exact results I had been hoping for.

Professional Gestures

On my behalf, the circumstances surrounding my case has been one that's extended well over a decade, far beyond what can only be defined as its intended life expectancy. Nonetheless, my case at hand has revolved around the penalization of two OWI's back in the early 2000's, and the harsher particular... of my sentencing was understandably the consequence of having my license revoked. Despite meeting all court ordered obligations, maintaining a clean slate, and obtaining sober clarity since the last incident, back in 2007, as with anyone's existence, life became fraught with financial obstacles, and there for lead to the deferral of my case being unresolved, and ongoing. A process that has lingered, and in that time has required me to call upon Mr. Geherin on several occasions, while making him an intricate and viable asset throughout the whole process. With that said, in the beginning, when the time came for me to pursue vindication for my youthful and irresponsible acts, I was referred to Mr. Geherin by a close friend of mine who had acquired his services for herself years prior. In our conversations about him, she stated how he was compassionate to her plight, how he legitimately analyzed and presented her case when duly required, how he supported and validated her goals throughout the process, and above all, maintained a stature of utter competency and professionalism. All these accounts where favorable in her experience with him, and with not having any experience employing a lawyer, I took her word for it and sought after his services. Needless to say, Mr. Geherin, upheld all those fundamental aspects that my friend so emphatically declared to me on his behalf. I've never, not once, regretted, nor have I ever questioned my decision to obtain Mr. Geherin's services surrounding the legal parameters of my case. In every conversation I'd have with him, upon conclusion, I'd be left with a revival of hope, and a sense of resolve to see the matters through; and when it came to the hearings, when I required the employ of his service and expertise in person, he pleaded my case with conviction, and the judgments where always favorable, and most certainly beneficial in the strengthening of my case. In spite of all that though, the process of going through such a state of affairs pertaining to the legal system can be quite taxing, and it does take its toll on you emotionally. Another aspect of Mr. Geherin I'd like to accentuate on, is that on a few occasions, I will admit, having reached a demoralized state, emotional and disheartened, I'd contact Mr. Geherin pleading for some advice on how to move forward, and in those circumstances, an attentive and empathetic individual would be there to discuss the reality of the there and now, while at the same time also emphasizing that the overall culmination of the whole experience was the focal point, and not to get discouraged from that foresight by the setbacks. From my experience with Mr. Geherin, as you may have gathered, has been one that's been truly constructive, supportive, and encouraging. I would not hesitate for one moment in referring him to a member of my family, to my friends, acquaintances, or even a stranger. In my opinion, he's well worth the effort to pursue, however, please don't just take my word for it, contact him for yourself, have a conversation, and I guarantee you'll instantly get that ambience of character that I've so articulated in this review.

Highly recommended!

Dan Geherin came highly recommended from another law firm in the Ann Arbor area. Upon initial call, I had explained to Dan the allegations that I had received in my criminal case. He quickly explained the issues that I faced in the short term and long term with the positive and negatives outcomes to ...each. Dans expertise and knowledge really shined and gave me comfort that he was the right choice for me. What impressed me with Dan? *Knowledge- He gave me great comfort to understand the risk and severity of the allegations in the case (good or bad) *Work Ethic- Dan makes and meets his commitments. When he says he is going to do something he does it and follows through *Sense of Urgency- Dan kept me updated and gave my case the attention it needed to resolve it. *Strategy- Dan is an out of the box thinker and provided solutions and strategies I could choose to try *Legalize- Dan breaks down the legal jargon so I could understand it What did I not like about Dan? *Nothing. He would be my first choice to represent me again
