This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best Lawyer, Hands Down!

Time was of the essence. I had nearly run out of hope. I literally had days to get an Attorney who could take on my rather twisted case. I had no money and the other attorneys I had spoken with either told me they did not have the expertise necessary, they did not want to touch my case with a ten foo...t pole, or they were asking for a lot of money immediately, which I did not have. I was referred to Dayten through other attorneys who in turn were referred by other attorneys. Dayten was my 7th try. Thank God I did not give up. Dayten listened to my case patiently and asked pertinent questions. Although my case was beyond not ordinary and I could not immediately pay him, AND we had only days to respond to the situation, Dayten took me on and ended up saving the day. He is truly one of the finest men that I know. I am in Chicago and I needed a lawyer in Wisconsin. Dayten began to work with my attorneys, who had assisted me in a bad and lengthy divorce, vacating, appeals process and then Bankruptcy. Dayten is an honorable man with great integrity and tenacity. He never gave up, even under great stress and time constraints. He offered me the absolute best advice, straight to the point, with some humor which I appreciate. He and his team are extremely professional, efficient, and courteous. Any time I had a question, no matter how out of the ordinary, Dayten was there. When I needed to rant or vent, Dayten was there. When I needed to get the job done, Dayten was there. I have the highest regard for Dayten Hanson as a man, as a human being, and as an attorney. He will be your advocate and he will be honest and he will be reasonable in his costs. He is not out to get rich, he is out to help his clients with all of his skill and expertise. My thanks always for your support and for taking me as your client. And thanks so much for helping me win. If I can ever repay the favor just give me a call, seriously. I offer you my absolute highest recommendation for Dayten. You could not do any better. Andy you will not be disappointed. He will fight for you to the ends of the earth. Anthony Chicago, Il

Calm, Competent Presence

Filing a personal bankruptcy is not an easy decision but sometimes it is a smart decision needed to get the fresh start our law provides. Dayten is a calm, competent presence who guided me skillfully through a bankruptcy filing and helped me get on my feet again. Terrific staff also.

Excellent Attorney

I used Mr. Hansen for my and my spouse's personal bankruptcy. Needless to say, it was one of the worst times in our lives and Mr. Hansen did a fantastic job of helping us through the process and figuring out the best way to help us. He was very knowledgable and professional, and treated us with dig...nity. I would highly recommend Mr. Hanson to anyone.

Knowledgable, Reassuring and Very Experienced

Without a doubt, Mr. Hanson was very pleasurable to work with during a very humbling and trying time in our lives. During the entire process Mr. Hanson was very straight forward and reassuring in our legal endeavor. His calming manner certainly created a deep sense of confidence in our selection. ...If anyone is in the need of a bankruptcy attorney Dayten Hanson should be first on their list to call.
