Posted by anonymous | November 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Absolutely amazing lawyer!

I hired Danny to assist on my personal injury case. Danny and his staff are extremely professional, caring, and helpful. They have went above and beyond in each step of the case. He lays everything out in a sensible, straightforward matter while pointing out the pros and cons of each decision. I reco...mmend him to anyone for his vast knowledge and ability.

Posted by anonymous | May 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Expert lawyer

Mr. Poolson was recommended to me by someone I truly trust. Mr Poolson was very professional and kind from the moment I contacted him. He helped me with a speeding ticket. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a attorney the can trust.

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 19

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I worked one on one with Danny for years and know his commitment to his clients. But more than a great lawyer, he is also a great husband and father. Knowing the law when helping clients is very important, but being able to wisely counsel them is even more important and Danny has that ability in spades."

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Mr. Poolson as co-counsel on a difficult case in Texas. He is knowledgeable, professional and firm with opposing counsel and adjusters. This approach consistently brings success for his clients. He has the experience of working for insurance defense and understands the logistics of personal injury litigation better than any attorney with which i have worked as co-counseI. I cannot endorse or affirm my recommendation any higher. I look forward to working with him again."

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.
