Review from Previous Client

Making the decision to file bankruptcy was one of the hardest decisions of my life. Attorney Fruend and his staff were friendly and did everything they could to assist me through the process. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. I have and will continue to recommend him to ...anyone that has to go through such an agonizing process.

Very Proffesional

Mr. Freund was very proffessional. His staff was very knowledgeable and very prompt with any questions we had and with all proceedings. Mr. Freund and his staff made our tough situation move along promptly and smoothly.

Excellent job taking care of a messy bankruptcy.

Dan and his skilled team did an exceptional job helping us unravel a complicated bankruptcy. We were always kept up to speed on what was happening and were given all of the advice we needed to make the right choices.

Bankruptchy

Attorney Daniel R. Freund and his Paralegal (Beverly A. Dorn) handle my case with professionalism and courteously.

While I appreciate the kind words, I suspect that my services related to a bankruptcy (not a birth injury) matter.

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
