I hired Daniel to help me with an order of non-disclosure. Through the whole process he was quick with his responses to my questions and clear about what was going on. Would hire again.
"I had the pleasure of trying a case against Daniel. He was well prepared, and well versed in the law. As a trial lawyer, he connected really well with the jury, weaving together complex legal principles with a down-to-earth approach to story telling. Beyond the field, Dan is a great professional full of empathy and care. I endorse this lawyer."
"I was the defense counsel in several criminal cases with Daniel as the prosecutor. His advocacy and professional demeanor were beyond reproach. More impressive was his sincere concern for the rights of the defendant and consideration of the merits of each case. Daniel illustrated that his prosecutorial oath to ensure justice is done was paramount and never succumbed to the pressures by his superiors to only seek convictions. In my experience this quality was extremely rare under the regime of the Bexar County District Attorney he worked for. Only a handful of ADA’s in this office ever concerned themselves with anything but a conviction. Subsequently I have consulted with Daniel on civil and criminal cases and as expected am even more confident in his ability to evaluate, prepare, and advocate while still providing personal attention to each client. Daniel Palmer is one of the few in my profession that I can proudly consider to be a fellow Constitutional soldier."
"I endorse Daniel Palmer. I have known Daniel to be a tireless advocate for his clients, dedicated to improving their circumstances through his hard work on their cases. Daniel’s extensive experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney makes him a qualified expert in this area of the law."
"Daniel is an exceptional attorney. Just as importantly, he's an exceptional person. If my best friends have a legal problem, then Daniel would be my go-to referral. Added perk: He's an all-around-great family man, has phenomenal taste in music, and understands the value of peace of mind. Daniel is single-handedly debunking the stereotype of shady, money-centric attorneys. From the get-go, it's obvious that Daniel cares about each client and will go the extra step for legal justice and client satisfaction."
"I endorse this lawyer. Daniel has a very diligent work ethic and will not stop until he can reach a favorable resolution. I had the opportunity to work with Daniel while he was an Assistant Criminal District Attorney, and have had the opportunity to work with him as opposing counsel. Daniel's sharp intellect and relentless drive make him a force to be reckoned with as a trial attorney."
"Daniel has truly impressed me as an aggressive litigator. He is well-prepared and has a genuine desire to win. I wholeheartedly endorse him!"
"Daniel is a great attorney and good guy. He knows his stuff. From Entertainment law to Criminal Defense, he'll work his tail off to make sure you get the best resolution on your case."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have seen him in the courtroom firsthand and he is very impressive in his command of criminal law. I would not hesitate to refer him clients for criminal matters."
"Anyone who retained Daniel will be getting an attorney fully committed to their client's cause. I know that Daniel invests 100% in every client that walks through his door. He was dedicated as a prosecutor and he is the same now as a defense attorney. Anyone would be fortunate to have Mr. Palmer as their attorney."
"Daniel is an aggressive and intelligent defense attorney. He doesn't back down when he's defending his clients."
"Daniel Palmer is an excellent choice for representation on any criminal defense legal matter. Daniel's down-to-earth style make him a tremendous asset on any legal matter."
