Dan restored Faith without fear

Call after Call, appt. after appt. resulted in frustration and disappointment that should've been a cut and dried due diligence but due to lack of money, I wasn't being heard until Dan. He instantly listened, put things rightly in motion with the court, and was beyond amazing and caring. I cannot re...commend him enough and be more grateful for restoring faith in the justice system!

Going Through Divorce? Daniel Exner Is Your Rock.

Going through a divorce is an emotionally draining experience, but having attorney Exner on my side made a world of difference. From the very first consultation, he was empathetic, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable about family law. Attorney Exner's expertise in divorce law was evident thr...oughout the entire process. He clearly explained all the legalities involved, leaving no room for confusion. He was also a skilled negotiator, able to achieve a fair settlement that protected my interests. Attorney Exner kept me informed every step of the way. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small. He responded promptly to emails and phone calls, which was a huge comfort during such a stressful time. Attorney Exner’s attention to detail was impressive. He caught and addressed crucial nuances regarding the MSA that has saved me a significant amount of money. Attorney Exner is a true professional, and handled my case with the utmost respect and discretion. But beyond the legal skills, he also showed genuine compassion for my situation. He understood the emotional toll of divorce and provided guidance that went beyond the courtroom. I cannot recommend attorney Exner highly enough. He is an exceptional attorney who will fight for you and your best interests. If you are facing a divorce, look no further - attorney Exner is the lawyer you need on your side.

Horrible Divorce Attorney

Clueless in my case and screwed me for life. What a huge mistake using this attorney.

The Best Choice!

I am so thankful for Attorney Exner and all of his help. He was willing to take me on as a client when he was out of the country and answered every question I had and kept up with the case while abroad. He exceeded my expectations every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. S...o amazing! I don’t even have the words to express my gratitude!
