A Lawyer Who Fights for You, Not With You

Some time back I was pulled into a case involving a former employer, a federal grand jury, and allegations of bribing a state senator. Prosecutors wanted a sworn statement from me, and I was completely lost and overwhelmed. Fortunately, a good friend recommended Daniel Kessler and to this day I’m tha...nkful they did. Mr. Kessler took on the case, explaining everything clearly without talking down to me. He negotiated with the prosecutors, handled their requests for files, and made certain that I wasn’t going to get dragged down for my old boss’ actions. I don’t know what I would have done without him. I do know it wouldn’t have been good. It’s a rare lawyer who can hold their own against the Feds but also doesn’t have an ego the size of Texas. Mr. Kessler is professional when he needs to be yet still casual enough to feel like I’m talking to a real person, one who actually cares about my situation even after the check clears.

Extremely helpful

Consulted for a legal matter - Daniel was able to help me clearly understand my options and map out my path forward. Will keep top of mind for any future needs and highly recommend for others.

Thankful for Prompt and Intelligent Service and Support

I was in an accident a number of years ago that resulted in my car being totaled, some minor medical bills, and a court appearance because my accident occurred on the wrong side of the middle lane dividers. Mr. Kessler was prompt in responding to my inquiry and very knowledgeable about both my case a...nd the court process, and was able to help me through my hearing to a beneficial ruling. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Kessler and would recommend him to anyone seeking legal help or representation

  • 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.
