Great counsel

Dan Dingeman is the rare attorney in my 30 year career in real estate that goes beyond the nuts and bolts of each assignment. He understands the nuances of all aspects of each transaction, is concise, insightful, knowledgable and consistently works to keep all parties on track to reach the desired... outcome. His counsel is a valuable part of my overall success.

Good Experience

I have worked with Dingeman's firm for 20+ years. We have worked with them on business transactions, real estate deals, litigation and a wide variety of other various legal work. Dan and his firm have always been a beneficial business partner whether it was for 9&10 News or Fox 32. We appreciate thei...r commitment and services.

Small Business Owner

Mr. Dingeman helped my husband and I select the structure for our business (an S corporation), obtain financing and purchase the necessary building. He did a superior job in shielding us from personal liability and provided us the best tax benefits for our business. We are so pleased, that in these t...roubled financial times, that we are successful and turning a substantial profit. We believe we were fortunate to have had the council and guidance of Mr. Dingeman.

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 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.
