First time being charged with a felony

Dan was very reassuring throughout the whole process, made everything as stress free as possible. I felt he represented me very well in court and was great in guiding me through the whole process. Getting the not guilty verdict was nice too.

Excellent attorney

He and his staff went the extra mile on my case which resulted in a dismissal. Hope I never need him again but I’d hire again in a heartbeat.

Hands down best lawyer in the area

Extremely Professional and up front about it all. Spent 2 1/2 years on my case and not once did Mr. Krieger budge or venture from the desired outcome of winning my case. We were offered a terrible deal and he immediately turned it down and kept fighting and at the end of it we won. If you want a lawy...er who is reasonable, personable and just hands down good at what he does then this is your lawyer. The other thing I took note of was when he walked in the court room other attorneys sought him out to speak with him or discuss different things, in my book that speaks volumes to Mr. Krieger’s character and professionalism. If you want to win then choose Dan Krieger!!

Professional and dependable

Attorney Dan Krieger was very professional and dependable. He was also very knowledgeable about the laws and regulations pertaining to my case. Mr Krieger was unbelievably aggressive towards the judges and prosecutors, challenging every piece of evidence that they presented against me. He remained ...persistent and consistent throughout my case. He communicated with me every step of the way, texting and emailing me way more often than I expected. Mr. Krieger showed me a true example of exemplary service!

lawyers with integrity are hard to find

I am so hard to deal with from all the demands I fight. I have mental problems, anxiety, PTSD, alcoholism I've even had mental relapses that ended me up in the mental ward. Dan has empathy, I just want the world to have more empathy. I'm working on being a step in the direction of empathy.

"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. I have known Dan since I was a prosecutor and we handled cases on opposite sides. Dan is very smart and compassionate. He really cares about his cases, and the countless positive outcomes reflect both his skill in the court room and relationships with his clients, DA's, judges and court staff. Dan is a true asset to the defense bar."

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 15

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Dan Krieger is an outstanding attorney in the areas of both criminal defense and family law. Mr. Krieger's experience is incredibly diverse: he served our community as a police officer, then as a prosecutor, and now in private practice. When I was a prosecutor, I dreaded cases against Mr. Krieger because of his unique insight into the law, both theoretically and practically. He just understands how the law works. He is unparalleled in weakening the State's cases, and this skill is matched only by his abilities in trial. Juries and judges alike trust his accurate representations of the law. I have the pleasure of now working for Mr. Krieger, and every day I learn something new. He also was the only attorney to attend a recent blood chemistry seminar. This assisted our firm in acquiring several dismissals for our clients' DWI cases. His family law advocacy is equally prolific: we handle everything from adoptions to divorces. I whole-heartedly recommend Mr. Krieger."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"It's hard to do justice to Dan Krieger with mere words. The first thing you need to know is that his excellence is unparalleled in the area of client customer service. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law, having served as both a certified peace officer and as an excellent attorney. He knows criminal procedure inside and out, and maintains good relationships with both prosecutors and fellow defense attorneys. Unlike many lawyers, he isn't afraid to put the State to its burden and try a case, if that is what is in the client's best interest. Simply put, if I had the misfortune to find myself needing a criminal defense attorney for myself, Dan Krieger would be my first and last call."

"Dan Krieger and I worked together when I was a prosecutor with the Galveston Co District Attorney's Office. Mr. Krieger was employed as a peace officer with the League City Police Department. With drive and dedication, Mr.Krieger worked his way through law school. As a natural & trusted leader, Mr. Krieger was elected president of his class. Upon graduation, Mr. Krieger was employed with the Harris County District Attorney's office before striking out on his own. Today, Mr. Krieger owns and operates two successful law offices in Galveston Co, representing clients/citizens in both family cases and criminal defense. It is with great honor that I endorse Mr. Krieger as a well-respected, highly skilled and competitive lawyer. A true asset to our community."
