I have argued a case in front of the Texas Supreme Court. I recently won a case affecting DWI cases across the State in front of the Court of Criminal Appeals. I’ve handled literally hundreds of criminal cases. I trust juries. I go into every case my firm takes on assuming we will have to try the case to a jury. This preparation very frequently leads to dismissal of the case. I have tried over 60 jury trials, with the vast majority leading to a not guilty verdict for my client. In 2017, I tried 17 jury trials, leading to 13 verdicts of not guilty or the case ending in a mistrial due to errors on behalf of the State. It will be difficult to find an attorney more driven or dedicated to their clients
When I'm not in court, you will frequently find me fishing, boating, and spending time with friends and family in the Galveston area.

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.

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.

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...

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 ...

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.
"Dan is an amazing criminal defense attorney. I've experienced first-hand his commitment to clients and passion in representing them. Additionally, he works hard and sacrifices his time in the development of other criminal defense attorneys."
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Dan Krieger is one of the hardest working and most dedicated attorneys in the Greater Houston Area. I've worked with Dan and against him, so I know firsthand that he is sharp and a passionate advocate. Anyone who hires Mr. Krieger is in great hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan to my friends and family for any criminal defense or family law matters."
"I have known Mr. Krieger for nearly a decade. He is one of the most talented attorney's I have ever known. He is a tough negotiator and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is who I call when I have a friend or family member in need of representation."
"There are few folks more dedicated to helping others and serving the community than Dan Krieger. I regularly seek Dan's expertise on issues affecting my clients and friends. Dan is a capable and talented attorney who tirelessly advocates for those in need."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is a tireless advocate for his clients. Shaped by an incredible history of service to the community, both as a former police officer and paramedic, Dan possesses intimate knowledge of the legal system. His knowledge is only matched by his great ability to communicate with anyone - a quality that serves both he and his clients very well when speaking to jurors. Dan is a true litigator and is steadfast in his commitment to provide his clients with the best possible representation."
"Dan has spent his entire professional life helping people, first as a paramedic, then as a police officer, and now as a lawyer. His experience--both before and after law school--create an unbeatable combination. You will not find a lawyer who is more dedicated to you and your case than Dan Krieger."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have assisted Mr. Krieger in trial and witnessed first hand his skill, dedication, and tenacity. He cares about his clients, works hard, and is a good person. I met Dan in law school and he is one of my go-to people when I need to brainstorm on a legal issue. Highly recommended."
