He Cares About People

Without the help of Mr. Cornell and the people in the office we would probably still be waiting for a decision. I heard from other people that Mr. Cornell was the best in the area and they were right. I strongly recommend Mr. Cornell to anyone looking for an attorney, he did a wonderful job for us.... He really cares about people who need help.

Highly recommends Danny Cornell

My husband was in a serious car accident earlier this year. Totally unsure of what we needed to do in the situation and stressed out dealing with my husbands injuries ... I called on Danny to have some of my questions answered. And even though he was on vacation with his family at the time, he too...k my calls, answered all of our questions, advised us of what we needed to do and eased our worries and concerns. He even called back on multiple occasions to check in on how my husband was doing. Thanks Danny for being there when we needed you most !!

Caring, trustworthy, client focused!

Danny Cornell was outstanding in helping us during a very difficult time. Danny and his staff were always kind and focused soley on our case while speaking or meeting with them. It is very clear that Danny's clients are his top priority. Danny and his staff were always readily available to answer any... question or concern that we had regarding our case. We will forever be thankful for Danny and his team.

great lawyer

I had worked hard all my life when I was involved in a work accident that left me with a severe, permanent and life changing injury. I felt overwhelmed and fearful about my future and how I would be able to support my family. Luckily a friend recommended Dan Cornell and he was willing to help me out,... He met with me and came up with a plan that gave me some hope. He fought hard with the insurance company to keep my case moving and stood up for me at every turn. Dan is a very good lawyer but what impressed me more was his willingness to always be there to talk to me day or night and answer my questions through a very tough time in my life. Along with his team, he got a great result for me and I feel very lucky to have had him for a lawyer.

Top Rung

I am an attorney and I have hired Danny numerous times for litigation cases and business transactions. He is an outstanding lawyer, not just because of his technical expertise, but especially because he cares so much about his clients and works so hard for them. That’s what distinguishes him from o...ther lawyers.

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.
