Extremely Helpful

Very easy to converse with, since I have no legal background Damian was very helpful. His explanations were very clear and easy to understand. Tanya was also very good to work with. I highly recommend Mr. Huettl.

Great Staff/Experience

Damian not only worked with me personally but more recently, he helped with my mother's estate planning. He's a great listener and always willing to give great advice and communicate with me when needed at a level I could understand. His professionalism was well represented with his staff and on a ...personal level. I would highly recommend his assistance with any of your legal problems or questions.

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.
