Absolutely the best attorney!
I had an extremely difficult case, which Dan did not hesitate to take. My case involved very strict restrictions placed against me which made it very difficult for me to see and spend time with my daughter. I've never been in trouble by the law, never even had a speeding ticket; in fact, I hold a Top Secret Clearance from the Department Of Defense. At the time, I served in the Army in a Special Operations Unit. For five years my ex-wife had these restrictions set against me and in those five years I was only able to see my daughter six times. When I separated from the Army, I decided to hire Dan to reopen my case so that I could have a normal life with my daughter. Dan was very honest, educated me on the process we would be going through and prepared me for what I thought were going to be long, stressful, multiple court hearings. Dan was absolutely amazing in court! Believe me when I say HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! Dan was able to to get all of the restrictions placed against me dropped, we were granted everything we asked for and he did it all in one court hearing. Dan is absolutely by far the best attorney who really goes above and beyond for his client, specially his veterans!

Honest, Knowledgeable and professional
Norland Law Firm was excellent. They where professional, knowledgeable and straight forward from the beginning to the end. I never questioned a thing, they where on top of it and I never thought a case could go so smoothly! I wouldn't change a thing! If I ever need an attorney again, I have no need to go anywhere else! Thank you for everything!

Excellent Lawyer
Dan was awesome with my child custody case. He was very helpful in guiding me in what ways I had to go. During the trial he didn't hold back to why I should have my kids more and came back with answers when the opposing side questioned my abilities. I ended up getting almost exactly what I asked for, which is more time with my kids. Dan never stopped fighting for me and in the end it showed. I would recommend Dan in a heartbeat to anyone that needs a good lawyer on their side!

Fantastic Communication
I hired Dan Norland for a first offense OWI. Having never been in trouble with the law for even a speeding ticket, I was extremely grateful for the detailed explanations he gave as far as the process and what to expect. He worked with the City Attorney on my behalf to ensure the Court Order was clear and even helped me receive fewer points on my license. Because of covid, we never did meet in person, but he was a quick responder, frank, and open about the steps I needed to take. I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and expertise.

Outstanding Attorney
I came to Dan for help with my divorce after I had been in a losing battle with my ex-wife's legal team for 6 months. I had made some mistakes in my personal and marital life and was feeling helpless and hopeless. From day one, Dan made me feel at ease, empowered, and hopeful. I was so relieved to know that I had someone in my corner who was smart, professional, experienced, and always one step ahead without leaving anything behind. I was planning on losing everything in my divorce, but Dan was able to help me see myself as someone who deserved the same rights as my ex-wife. In the end, I couldn't have been more happy with the result and I would highly recommend Dan Norland to anyone.

Great lawyer!
When I first contacted Dan, he told me exactly what the process was, how fees were calculated, and what to expect during my divorce process. Dan is definitely there to help his clients and does an excellent job of representing. I appreciated how he explained the court process and his communication throughout. I would recommend to anyone who is going through a divorce or in need of legal services.

Fantastic Attorney!
Dan Norland was recommended to me by a friend to handle my contentious divorce that eventually took two years to resolve. He was quick to respond to any issue related to the case, was level-headed, and highly reasonable. I would recommend him for any legal issue, but particularly for people dealing with high conflict situations.

Attorney Norland is professional, efficient, and succinct. He was honest in his appraisal of my criminal case from the start and very knowledgeable. He fought to get the best resolution for me and reassured me through this troubling time. I highly recommend him.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney
Dan was very honest and straightforward with me as I took my ex back to court to get equal placement with my son, which was a success. He was great at fighting on my behalf in the courtroom. He is very knowledgable and professional and will fight for you to get you what you want or need. I was very pleased with how down to earth he was and quick at responding to my questions and concerns as well as giving great advice. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to him. I would highly recommend Dan to anybody needing an attorney that will fight for them to get results.

You will be choosing the absolute best!
Dan is so incredibly knowledgeable in so many areas! He makes every conversation worth it with no nonsense. He has no problem making you feel like he cares about your exact situation, wants, and needs. While in the court room, he has a way with words that literally makes you feel so confident. Legal battles can be a stressful nightmare, but Dan is not in it to be petty or dramatic. He is 100% on point and to the chase to ease the stress of the situation! Our family unit is so lucky to have him on our side!

#1 Lawyer I HIGHLY Recommend!
I first talked with Dan in Feb of 2017 and hired him within a month, he took on my case which lasted over a year. I was so scared I didn't know what to expect or what to even do. I just knew I had to stand up for my daughter and the situation at hand. I was not disappointed by his service. He has wonderful interpersonal skills (very friendly and down to earth) yet knows the laws and how to "read" the court room. Dan made things so easy for me to understand that when in the court room I was constantly impressed on the way he legally worded everything. How can a lawyer be so caring and friendly yet direct and on point every step of the way in the court room? Because he is AWESOME; Dan has it all wrapped into one package! We had 4 different days in court and every day Dan did NOT disappoint, each time he was able to make the courts see and understand my view. Dan had to make some last minute decisions on my case in order to get everything into testimony. I was not even scared of the change in plans because I firmly trusted him and knew he had everything under control. Dan had my daughters and my best interest in mind at all times, way beyond his paycheck. I felt he cared and knew he was on the right side of the situation which made my experience with him feel comfortable even when I was scared out of my wits. I knew no matter the outcome he had done everything in his power to win my case. And that is EXACTLY what he did. With his attention to detail and cross examination, knowing what questions to ask, when to ask them and to what party to get the truth to come out was awesome. I would recommend Dan to ANYONE in need of an attorney. If I am ever in need again, Dan will be the first person I call. Thank you Dan for all your hard work, time, effort and help! It will never be forgotten.

Money well spent
People I got smacked with charge after charge. A lot of bogus stuff. But he was able to make most disappear, and got me the best possible outcome. He is very easy to talk to and his staff at his office is also very easy going. He don’t beat around bushes. He’s awesome at what he does. I like to call him. DAN THE MAN. Just know you get what you pay for plus a lil. I 100% recommend him to anyone that needs a Attorney

Charges dismissed
Mr. Norland was great while working through my case. Not only to me but the outcome of all charges being dismissed speaks volumes. As his client, communication with me was great as well. Every time I left him a voicemail or email in regards to what was happening, possible outcomes that may occur or just general questions, Dan was sure to get back to me by the end of the business day every time. I highly recommend Norland Law Firm, LLC!

Ease
Great lawyer, I got my case to him and he took care of it right away and got it settled. We were in and out of court very quick. I'm sure if we pursued against the other party he would have done a great job. Once you get your case to him, he is on it and gets it done so your mind will be at ease.

Great lawyer
I was able to rest easier even upon my first meeting with Dan. Throughout my case, he walked me through with clear detail on where to begin and so-on. My charges were dropped almost completely. I would recommend him if you want someone who is professional, but also easy to talk to and shows you up-front what is needed to hire him without suprises.

No Nonsense and Extremely Efficient
I hired Dan upon suggestion of another local attorney, and I'm so glad I listened to the recommendation! During initial consultation and beyond, he listened and gave me best and worst case scenarios based on the information he was provided. During our family law case, he was extremely knowledgable and informative, and he always worked hard to minimize the costs through his remarkable efficiency. He was up front with me, even in matters that weren't likely to go the way I wanted and gave sound legal advice in all areas of our extremely complex case. We concluded with a 2-day trial against an abusive ex spouse and an outwardly biased GAL and still managed to rightly convince the judge to rule almost entirely in our favor by sticking to documented facts and avoiding the typical mudslinging. Expecting to be pulled back into court as often as family law allows, I am keeping Dan as my attorney at least until my kids are 18!

Best lawyer in town no doubt about that!
Dan was involve on my "more than nasty 3 years long divorce". The challenges were high as my previous lawyer had things messed up. In addition we were facing an ultra feminist working as a legal advocate, ready to lie in court. Dan was very informative, never try to hide the risks to me. He was very firm on his positions to the other party and highly appropriate to them, using his knowledge and experience as a lawyer while being able to think out of the box. I highly recommend Dan for a divorce if you feel abused either by your ex or the judicial system, no matter your gender. Dan will take you out of the emotional state, will show you the reality of facts, will propose you solutions you can choose from and will work the best as a team with you.

Amazing
Mr. Norland helped me with an OWI case I had. During the consultation he was straight forward with me and did not mislead me in anyway just to obtain my business. After I hired him he wasn't just present for the court dates and speaking with prosecutors he also did a lot behind the scenes and walked me through different scenarios and what would need to be done. Definitely would use him again for any other legal issues I had.
