About Daniel
Biography
Daniel has been representing clients charged with criminal offenses in Austin TX since 2011 and has dedicated his practice solely to criminal defense over the full course of his career. Having received a degree in Chemistry from the University of Chicago prior to attending law school at University of Texas at Austin, Daniel finds that his clients are always in a better position to defend themselves against the ever-increasing use of forensic scientific evidence with a trained scientist representing them. Despite this science background, Daniel is approachable, personable, and a skilled litigator who has the ability and the follow-through to get clients out of the most intractable of situations and to effectively negotiate on their behalf the best possible resolution for their case.

Daniel William Betts's Lawyer Endorsements
"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.

"Daniel is a smart attorney. I have referred clients to his law firm. Those clients received great representation and results!"
