Need a out of phone book lawyer with experience? Dan is the man.

I found dan through avvo for my DWI case. I admit I was scared at first, but dan is willing to work with you if you need to do payments for him to represent you, very knowledge able and straight to the point. Before he came a lawyer, he was a district attorney for Harris County and that was a... lot of help since he knows the clerks, judges and da’s in the court room and will work to get you the best plea bargain you can get. I had 2 open court cases one for a felony and other for a dwi and he was able to get my felony dropped and get my dwi case to 1 year probation which is not bad cause my situation could of been a lot worse than it was originally.

Great help

He was very knowledgeable and communicated with us so that we knew what was happening and what to expect since this was our first time having a legal issue. Also got my husband off with the least possible consequences.

DWI

I got charged with a DWI and for having an open container in my car. I went with Thiessen Law firm to take on my case. Mr. Daniel Simons took over Matthew Elwell case and I can actually say I am very delighted with his work. Mr. Daniel gave me a better explanation of what was going on with my case an...d gave me options. He did a great job, he got my DWI reduce to obstruction of highway, no probation, no state fees, and no breathalyzer, basically I just paid the court fees and my case was done. Mr. Daniel Simons did an awesome job! I will definitely recommend Thiessen Law firm . Everyone was nice and polite and were willing to help. I am very happy with this Law firm, Ms. Cindy is who you see when you first walk in the Law firm, she is a great person really polite. She always assisted me with all my questions. Mr. Mark Thiessen is a great person as well and a great lawyer. I am very thankful for everything. Best Law firm, definitely worth the money.

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.
