The Best Attorney Around!

I live in Colorado and had a hold on my license in Michigan for the last 10 years. I had literally done everything possible to get this resolved. I was referred to Mr. Bain by an attorney in Colorado. Mr. Bain got a hearing scheduled and prepared me perfectly for the hearing. The judge did not ask a ...single question that Mr. Bain had not told me would be asked. The hold was lifted and I had my license back immediately! His prices are reasonable, but his results are unbelievable!

One of the best lawyers and an amazing human being!!

I hired Dan in September 2016. Dan and his firm are some of the most professional lawyers to have to interact with. Perhaps you may call on a day that Dan is in court he will call you back ASAP!! I'm not exagerating either he always returned my call as he was walking out of court. I have had many at...torneys that I have delt with in the business that I'm in. Hands down Bain&Bain are the upper eschalance of law firms who defend our rights everyday. Now lets get to my story I have not driven for 8 years and thats a long time. I had my first child 9 months ago so I knew it was time to drive again. Dan was recommended to me by word a mouth. Now we know we always hear from people O yeah my attorney is the best or hey I know someone that will get this for you. Well this time the word of mouth was spot on everything that I heard about Bain&Bain's Law firm came true. We started my process in Sep of 2016. I came into the office for a consultation with Dan and it was a very pleasenet exchange of words. He was very honest with me and told me what I would need to do to get my privlage of driving back. I told him I was ready and would meet all of the criteria that was asked of me. In my mind I was astonished at how intellegent he was as well as friendly at the same time. Also I appreciated that he was a no non sense type of man when it came down to my case. He told me he could get me my license back but it wasn't going to be easy we had to prove to the License admistration that I was a changed man and was ready too be allowed back on the road again. Remember guys driving is not our right it is a privalage that some of us have loss due to bad decesions. I had my case seen by the drivers hearing board two weeks ago. Dan and I prepared and went over the case three times before we got to this date. Be in front of the board is a nervous experience but Dan was there to walk me through every step of the way. We received a verdict that day and was told that I would be granted my driving privalage back again. I was so excited beyond words but I knew why this moment was happening it was because of my lawyer Dan Bain that actually cared about my case and I was just not another number to him. Dan also has a friend by the name of Herb that owns the compnay Nationwide Interlock in Troy Mi, 2175 Stephenson Hwy, 48083. The reason I'm letting you guys know about Herb is because when you use Dan they wave your instualtion fee to have the igniton interlock installed in your car which will save you $250.00. I would 100% reccomend Bain&Bain too anyone that I come in contact with that was in my postion or a similar postion. Today is finally the day that I received my license and have my independence back again. No more rides from friends or Ubers thats a whole lot of money I will be saving in the future.

HONEST , FAIR , EFFECTIVE

I was charged with an assault . I spoke with several other lawyers before I finally talked to Dan Bain. He was the first attorney I spoke with who did not give me some song and dance about how well connected he was . In my initial phone call to him , he spent a long time explaining my situation . I i...mmediately felt comfortable talking with him . I met him at his office and he fully explained my situation to me and gave me reasonable expectations as to what he thought the outcome of my case would be . I hired him , and though he was not the least expensive Attorney i consulted , his rates were fair and he was by no means the highest priced guy . When we walked in court it was obvious that the Court staff , other attorneys and the prosecutor knew this guy and liked him . He told me what our case strategy would be . Remember , he gave me reasonable expectations as to what would happen . He far exceeded those expectations when my case was DISMISSED !

CALL THIS GUY NOW!!!!

I had a serious problem and talked to several lawyers before I came across Dan Bain on the internet. He took the time to talk to me on the phone and then met with me and my wife in person explaining how he thought he could help me and giving me reasonable expectations as to how things would work out.... My wife said it best in a note she sent to him. She said " Mr. Bain , I know you are a lawyer and its your job, but I needed to take an opportunity to THANK YOU! Thank you for treating us like real people. Thank you for believing in what I said about my husband and for believing in him. Thank you for showing up ready to battle. You are a great attorney and a good person. I'd have you on my team anytime. Thank you for giving my children a great holiday." This guy is honest , cares about his clients and it is obvious that the people in the court system respect him.
