Employment Law
Dan handled my case well. He followed through quickly on all correspondence and negotiation. He kept me up to date. He offered good, sound advice. He knows the employment laws, and has good practical sense.

Odd experience
Hired him for discrimination claim against employer. And without good explanation he dropped the case leaving me frantically searching for new attorney. Never meet face to face. And only corresponded through email. Not reliable.
I have been a practicing attorney for 32 years with a spotless record with the State Bar of Texas. I pride myself on excellent and prompt client communications. I have no idea who posted this but guarantee you they never paid me a dime because I only charge a fee if I win. I do cases in two phases: pre-lawsuit and then lawsuit if the case cannot be resolved and if there are sufficient grounds to file a lawsuit. If I did not further pursue the case to litigation it was because there were not sufficient grounds to pursue it, and the client pays me nothing unless I recover money for them. So I tried to help this person, got paid nothing and was trashed when I could not proceed further.
