This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Bankruptcy

Dan's firm was great to work with our case was complicated. He kept us up to date on the many things that kept coming at us. In the end he brought us to an end that was as good as you could get. There was much appreciation on how it ended up.

Debt collection

Mr. Freund is a very knowledgeable and organized lawyer. The best thing about him is that he is willing to help with all kind of cases; big or small. He went to course with me and help me fight a case that just a little over 1,000 which he didn't charge me at all. Thank you Mr. Freund.

With Dan's excellent representation we were able to put one of the most difficult times in our lives behind us with a very positive result. Dan is organized, knowlegable, very efficient, prompt and a very understanding person. He is a brilliant lawyer. We will forever be grateful to him for what he ...has done for us.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Dan Freund is an excellent attorney and well-respected among his peers. He is always willing to help other lawyers resolve difficult problems and his knowledge of bankruptcy law is second to none. In my earliest days as a bankruptcy attorney, he treated me with respect, even when my questions revealed my lack of experience. I wholeheartedly endorse Dan."

"I have known Dan since his clerking days way back in the 1980's. I have been opposing counsel to Dan, worked with him on several matters, and presented at seminars with Dan. Dan is on my very short list for bankruptcy and other creditor/debtor matters in the Eau Claire area. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer's work."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
