Great choice

Went through the entire DWI process with care and unreal results. I went to one hearing, got to plead my case and only had to do a walkthrough and received time served. No probation, no court fees. Also got car breathalyzer removed in 2 days. The best possible outcome.

Truly grateful for this man!

I contacted Daniel after getting arrested for multiple felonies. When he asked what outcome I was looking for I said "No jail time and no felony convictions", though I had no reason to believe this was possible. I was arrested for DUI and possession two more times after that, and I don't know how but... we were able to get all of the felonies from the first case dismissed after I completed pre trial diversion. He was able to get the felony possession knocked down to misdemeanors, and all 3 DUI's were rolled into on DUI charge through some magic he worked. In the end, we achieved my initial goal of "no felony convictions and no jail time". I can't describe how grateful I am for Daniel.

Daniel Betts is not only a great lawyer but a great person too. He was really easy to get along with and got my DWI charge dismissed in a timely manner

Rich, so glad I was able to get that result for you and that we were able to convince the judge to throw out the evidence and force the prosecutors to dismiss.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I went to law school with Daniel and have stayed in touch with him since then. I have repeatedly referred very close friends of mine to him over the years, and have always heard back positively about his professionalism, efficiency, and responsiveness. I'd refer others to him in a heartbeat, and if I was in a criminal defense jam, he'd be the first person I would call."

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.
