Hire him you won't regret it
Compassionate, Skilled, and Truly Fights for You Daniel and his team helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. I was falsely accused of a crime I didn’t commit—and was actually the victim. From day one, Daniel listened, believed me, and never pressured me to take a plea deal. My ca...

Great Defense Lawyer
I hired Daniel years ago for help on my case. He was incredibly knowledgeable and caring regarding my situation. I'm so glad that I hired him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer in the Austin area.

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