DWI Case

Dan was excellent, professional and thorough. He immediately found flaws in my case, did the research and fact finding to pin point the obscuritys and descrepencies. Dan proved the case was unwarranted and got the dismissal!! I couldn't be more thankful for what he has done for me, thanks Dan and I w...ish you much success!!

Posted by Rich | July 17, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great Lawyer, honest and dependable.

Dan was extremely helpful in guiding me throughout this whole process. He was honest and direct with me and my case. I truly appreciated his near immediate replies to my emails, text messages or calls. When you hire an attorney, you expect them to be available to you and Dan did not disappoi...nt me at all. Dan was successful in getting my case dismissed for me. I hope I never need his services again, but if on that off chance I end up needing an attorney in the future, I am hiring Dan.

Dan did a great job in dealing with the dismissal of the case. This case involved several people and we were all kept informed by Dan.

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.
