#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 ha...s 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.

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.

Dan and Jenna Rock!

I hired Dan a few years ago after leaving another firm for my divorce. I worked very closely with Dan and Jenna, I was even given cell phone numbers in case of emergency. I always knew what was going on with my case and both of them guided me not only in a legal but a personal way as well. I feel tha...t my case had many twists and turns, but they were ready to handle whatever got thrown at them next. My case took many years but in the end I got exactly what I wanted. I think it would be hard to find any firm or a team as strong as Dan and Jenna.

The Best Decision You Will Make

I have had the pleasure of being a client of Dan Norland for the past few years. At first meeting I was in a precarious position legally after a criminal complaint. Needless to say the outcome was favorable. What was more favorable were the frequent phone calls, the professional yet relaxed atmosp...here, the willingness to explain everything (I wasn't as legally informed as I am now), and the absolute trust I received and was able to return in the relationship. Mr. Norland handled my criminal case and jury trial as a true confident professional and eased my mind through the entire process. As a first time legal defendant, I couldn't have made a better decision. Mr. Norland kept me informed at all times, reviewed each single process, paper, phase of the case, and fielded every single phone call (or returned it) personally. During the actual trial, Mr. Norland showed his true expertise. Mr. Norland has the best staff anyone could also hope to work with as well, both talented and proficient. Again, I couldn't have chose better for myself. The second time I hired Mr. Norland was for a child custody/child support case. I was unfamiliar and uneasy about this one because I was a first time parent. Again Mr. Norland and his staff comforted me mentally enough to prepare for the LENGTHY process of child law cases. A complete 180 from criminal defense yet Mr. Norland and his staff again were able to educate me beyond anyone else I spoke to about child law. He stuck with me step by step and has helped me for well into a third year. The results speak for themselves and my child is safe, happy, in my custody full time, and my family is blessed to have Mr. Norland on our side. A lot of people worry about the cost of a lawyer and what they will get for their money. You will never have to worry about that with the Norland Law firm. In short, you get a competent, confident lawyer who is the complete package. I will never go to another lawyer because I know that I have one that I can count on.
