Couldn’t have found a better attorney
Dan was our hired attorney in a sexual harassment case and he ended up fighting tooth and nail for us. There wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute the assailant but Dan still managed to win over a hefty settlement for us. I would recommend him to anyone as he is extremely attentive and is always on top...

Excellent Attorney
Dan was very thorough and honest through my entire process of suing my former company for wrongful termination. Dan was able to negotiate a fair settlement quickly and the process was extremely easy. Highly recommend Dan for any employment legal needs.

Handled my matter very well
This attorney assisted me with an employment discrimination matter. He was very helpful before I retained him and advised me throughout the process. My case was eventually settled without going to arbitration.

Knowledgeable, Fair, and Persistent Employment Attorney.
I hired Dan to represent me for a wrongful termination claim. He was very attentive and supportive throughout the entire process. His knowledge base in employment law is impeccable. Dan’s willingness to go over and beyond and his persistence, resulted in me receiving the justice I deserved.
