Daniel Spivey Adkins

My experience with Daniel S. Adkins and NORTH STAR CRIMINAL DEFENSE was nothing short of a nightmare. It's really disheartening when someone you trust, especially in a legal matter, turns out to be unreliable and neglectful. Discovering that Adkins is more interested in collecting fees than in dil...igently working on my case is beyond frustrating. Legal battles are emotionally draining, and when your attorney fails to provide the support and preparation needed, it's not just a letdown; it can have serious consequences for your life. The fact that he ignores my calls adds another layer of disappointment. Communication is key in any relationship, and especially so when you're dealing with legal matters. Feeling abandoned during such a crucial time amplifies the stress and uncertainty that often accompanies legal proceedings. The idea of an attorney who doesn't bother to investigate my case is not just a professional letdown; it's a betrayal of trust. I'm essentially left in the dark, unsure of what's happening with my own legal situation. That lack of transparency is not only unprofessional but deeply unfair to someone relying on their expertise. Legal representation should be about more than just a transaction. It should embody a commitment to justice and a genuine desire to help clients navigate through challenging times. The opportunistic approach I experienced is not just a breach of professional ethics; it's a disservice to individuals seeking guidance and support. My experience serves as a stark reminder of the importance of reviews and shared experiences. Hopefully, by expressing my disappointment, I'm not only finding a cathartic outlet but also helping others steer clear of a similar ordeal. Considering exploring alternative legal representation—there are attorneys out there who genuinely care about their clients and are willing to put in the work to ensure a fair and just legal process. I deserve an advocate who is not just there for the paycheck but is committed to fighting for my rights and well-being.

I first and foremost want to say thank you to Dan Adkins he communicated with me every step of the way make sure that I was taken care of even checked in to see how I was doing and holding up doing the case I really appreciate his work and professionalism and would recommend him to anyone who needs a... great defense lawyer thank you again.

Dan is a consummate professional but never loses a empathetic relationship with his client. I was very impressed with his ability to effectively communicate with the Judge and then turning around and walking us through what had transpired - in language we could understand - and what the next steps wi...ll be. He has a very upfront and no nonsense approach to our case . Along with everything else Dan is a great guy !

I was one of Mr. Adkins fairly rare family law clients. He messed up my divorce!!! I never got a copy of my final stipulated judgment and decree from him. I figured it was no big deal, as i had a copy of the proposed order that went to the judge for signayure, so i figured that i knew the contents. ...Six years later, I requested a copy from the court. I found out that the judge had made additional findings that my now ex husband was responsible for a large portion of debt. Since I hadn't known this, I had long since paid the debt. Shame on this guy. He should have provided me with a final copy and probably drawn my attention to this important fact.

I was recommended to Dan by a friend, and continue to recommend him to anyone possible. I was doubtful at first as he seemed like any over-confident lawyer out there, but soon learned that he is confident for a reason. He's blunt and runs a tighter schedule, but easy to communicate with on a professi...onal and personal level and generally more than willing to find time for you. He is easy to contact, knows exactly what he's doing, and will work hard to resolve your case in the best way possible for your situation. He has helped and continues to help me with multiple traffic (DUI/DAR)/criminal/civil cases for almost a year. Keep him updated/informed and he will work wonders for you.
