About Daniel
Biography
I'm a criminal defense trial lawyer who has first chaired dozens of jury trials to verdict in the last 6 years. That is on top of the hundreds of bench trials and contested hearings decided by a judge alone that I have conducted since beginning my career in McHenry County in 2015. I am now a resident of Crystal Lake, Illinois and have made McHenry County my home. I am committed to advocating for my clients to protect their rights from the government throughout all stages of the criminal process. I am also a strong advocate for victims of domestic violece in order of protection proceedings for petitioners and respondents. If your case involves the police, there is a good chance that I am the lawyer for you. Call me at.

Amazing lawyer !!!!
Dan helped me with my case. He didn’t judge me and took my word. He was an amazing lawyer and communicated every step of the way. He allowed my input during trial and any issues I had he addressed. Dan felt more like a close friend than a lawyer. He is very honest and upfront which I liked. I wo...

DUI
Dan was very knowledgeable, supportive and provided appropriate guidance to my case. He provided reassurance throughout the end which was very important to me. His fees are reasonable and he's transparent about everything, which is key when receiving legal counsel. He's professional friendly and cari...

Excellent attorney
Dan was excellent to work with. He responds promptly and answered all of our questions clearly and thoroughly. We had him on retainer for a family matter that was quickly resolved, but he gave us much peace of mind.

Very Rude
I hired a specific lawyer through a law firm . But had Daniel Nold showing up for court for my case . He really didn’t make time to go over my case and what the plan was . All he cared about was payment and what was the balance I owed . I literally told him he has a bad attitude and his reply was quo...
Daniel Nold
Replied last August 02, 2023Couple things. I'm sorry that we had a poor experience over a year ago when I was with my former firm. I have no control over what my bosses told you regarding who would actually be with you in Court. Part of my job, as the lawyer in Court, was to collect attorneys fees that were required to be paid as a part of representation. These discussions are never comfortable, especially when somebody that you have not met is asking you to pay your bill. I hope that you were able to successfully resolve your case to your liking. I appreciate your feedback and will do better in the future.
Daniel Lester Nold's Lawyer Endorsements
"Nold and I have tried a lot of cases together in the past. He is good with clients, works his files and is a tough negotiator."
"I've seen Dan operate in the courtroom and once appealed a case he worked on. As much as I tried, I couldn't find even a minor issue with his work on the case. When my kid gets arrested I'll have no problem sending him to Nold for help. You shouldn't have any problem send yours to Dan, either."
"Dan is highly motivated to get his clients the best results he can. He is an eager trial attorney willing to fight for the rights of his clients. He is knowledgeable in the areas of DUI, Domestic Battery and Orders of Protection."
