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 an...d 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!

Highly competent, extremely dedicated, knowledgeable attorney

I was a complete mess after I received my 3rd owi, realizing I was looking at 45 days minimum jai, fines, suspension etc. Best decision I made was retaining Dan Norland, his knowledge of the law, diligence in reviewing my case, negotiations with the D.A. and communication with myself every step o...f the way was immeasurable. I ended up with two days in jail with all minimum fines, suspension, interlock.. yes, I stated correctly..2 days jail with 9 days electronic monitoring. .Dan worked tirelessly on my case and for that I will always be grateful.. I won't be away from my 6 year old daughter but for a weekend..that in itself is worth more then words...If you need an attorney, don't just guess and hope for a good one with luck, go with one with a proven track record and history of exceptional performance,one that puts his clients needs before anything else.....words are only words..Dan Norland is a man of results, some might even claim miraculous results, such as in my case..make that email or phone call..you won't regret your decision.

Always responsive

We hired Dan for a criminal case, and were VERY pleased with the results he was able to get. If we had questions, Dan was ALWAYS there to answer them immediately. He always kept us informed of where the case stood, and didn't put up with the bullsh*t delays in the DA's office. He is a no-nonsense ...attorney, with a great understanding of case law. I would absolutely recommend Dan to anyone who needs legal assistance.

excellent Lawyer

Dan was a very knowledgeable and personable lawyer, he kept me fully aware of everything that was going on and what might happen in my case. Dan was always available to talk to you if you didn't reach him right away he would call back the same day. He was also very helpful with payment plans when I... needed
