Excellent Attorney

I am currently working with Mr. Geherin on a matter with several moving parts. I have found Dan to be very prompt in his replies to me, patient, and able to explain things in a manner that I can understand while maintaining the upmost professionalism. When attending court (and other proceeds) he ha...s been thoroughly prepared and has kept me apprised of exactly what will be occurring – which unfortunately is not the case with many attorneys.

Best attorney I've ever worked with

I highly recommend Attorney Dan Geherin. After extensive research and several referrals, I hired Dan and he didn't disappoint. Dan is highly intelligent, hard working and honest. Having worked as both prosecutor and trial attorney, he knows the courts inside and out, as well the people involved at ev...ery stage of the process. I was given straight forward answers and realistic potential outcomes, but felt me and my family were at the heart of every decision. Dan is creative and bold, but most importantly fights hard for his clients every step of the way, which gave me confidence during a very difficult time. His office, most notably Stephanie, are amazing to work with and extremely organized and diligent. I can't thank Dan and his team enough for the support and positive outcome of my case. I will be referring anyone I know who needs an experienced, trustworthy attorney (especially in Washtenaw County) to Dan Geherin. Thank you again Dan!!

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.

Top notch!!

Working with Dan was great! He listened to the facts in the case and worked with me to develop a strategy to win. He walked me through a mock trial to prepare me for taking the stand. When the big day came, Dan knew exactly what to say and when to tip the judge to the correct decision. Thanks D...an!

I recommend Daniel T. Geherin

I was recently in a position to witness Mr. Geherin in action and I must say it was a comfort to see such a competent person handling this very sensitive and very important case. Mr. Geherin was very well prepared each of the three days of the trial. His thorough knowledge of the case details, the w...itnesses, the defendant, and the inner workings of the law were evident in each word spoken and in every movement. When questioning a witness it was obvious to me that Mr. Geherin had specific information that he wanted to mine from each person and a plan to get that information. At no time did Mr. Geherin flounder or stumble over questions and his confident and respectful questioning of each witness served him well as witnesses warmed to him and gave him the information he wanted. If I were in trouble the characteristics I would want my lawyer to possess are: honesty, competence, professionalism, people skills, and effectiveness. Mr. Geherin has all of these in spades.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
