Posted by rachel | October 25, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

compassionate, professional and is prompt with responses

long story short I paid him a retainer to help my husband get his license back, sadly in the interim of this process, my husband was diagnosed with advanced cancer. I intermittingly kept in touch with Darly via email over a few years, and he was compassionate, honest, always responded promptly and we...nt out of his way to help my family. Sadly, we won't be able to complete this case due to health reasons, but Daryl's compassion, professionalism, and ethics are completely admirable! He is not only a fantastic knowledgeable lawyer, but as a man with monumental integrity, he helped restore my faith in humanity! He gives lawyers a good name!

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.
