Gave me my career back

Dan was at court to work my bond. Then when we talked we discussed my case . He gave me his thoughts on the case. Then we discussed expectations of from great to ok out come. My lively hood was in jeopardy. I was charged with a felony. At my job had I been convicted I would lose my career for over 2...0 years. I told Dan as bad as that would be my main objective was to stay out of jail and best case is no charges and I can continue with my life. Dan was able to get charges dropped so no felony no record career back on track. He surpassed my expectations by giving me best case scenario. I definitely recommend Dan L Fultz as a lawyer I felt he was honest and worked hard for me and I know he will for you

You get what you pay for

Dan did everything he was hired to do. He always answered my questions in a timely manner. Gave me piece of mind in an incredibly stressful time. Even though he was expensive compared to others at the time, I would not change a thing. He is my first call if I ever needed representation again. ...

Very Helpful!!

Dan was extremely helpful with my case! I went in, met with him, explained my situation and he took it from there. He literally handled everything for me and kept me updated on the process through phone and mail correspondence as we went. I am very satisfied with the outcome that we achieved and woul...d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for representation in this area. Thank you!

DCFS investigation

Mr. Fultz represented our family in a matter involving a DCFS investigation. He was prompt in meeting with us after our initial phone call and was very personable. Mr. Fultz was very thorough in his review of our situation, explained all of the intricacies of the DCFS process and took the time to ans...wer all of our questions. He communicated with us throughout the entire process and never left us in the dark.

Waste of money

This lawyer did little for my case. Found out later that important information in regards to my case was not presented in court due to the laziness of this lawyer. Would have been better off representing myself.

Replied last September 19, 2018

Nicole, I deeply regret that you are unsatisfied with my representation. Unfortunately, since I'm just learning of this and many months have passed since our attorney-client relationship ended, there is nothing meaningful that I can do to address your concerns except learn from your criticism and move forward. I strive to do my best for each and every client; however, sometimes I come up short. This is a tough business and many factors affect the outcome of each case, some of which are not within the attorney's control. Nonetheless, I wish you the best. Regards, Dan
