Not all heros wear capes !

Daniel did an amazing job handling my case. He answered all my questions and took a huge weight off my shoulders. The prosecution wanted jail time, but Daniel got my charges taken care of with little to no worry. He was worth every penny—me and my family can’t express enough gratitude. One of the mos...t genuine and real people I’ve ever met. He won’t sugarcoat anything; he’ll tell you the truth and work to solve your case. Highly recommend! – Roman

Persistent....the bulldog you've been looking for

Daniel is the attack dog attorney you need. Took the case, battled a major fortune 500 company on my behalf, and won. Hire this guy.

Punctual and Perceptive

When I was stuck checking in with bondsmen for over a year two charges, he kept me out of county when they screwed up the details on my files. Daniel showed up on time for every hearing and fought hard to get everything dismissed!

From a Felony, to a Misdemeanor to DISMISSED! That's how it done.

He did a very good job. He went above and beyond. Tried everything and anything to make things go my way and it did. Thank you Mr. Mehler much appreciated ..

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.
