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...se took 7 months, and even when I was overwhelmed and emotional, he stayed patient and professional. What really stood out was how he treated me like a person, not just a case. He and his team worked together and genuinely cared. Thanks to him, I kept my freedom and cleared my name. If you want an attorney who actually fights for justice—Daniel is the one.

Mind blowing!!

Walking into court I was worried! Then I met these two on my way to sign a guilty plea . They sat me down showing great interest in my case talking me out of signing the plea deal . Instead they wanted to fight my case . Well it wasn’t much of a fight the state folded and dismissed my case . Even aft...er the case now a month later they still help walking me through the steps of what I need to do to get me back on track answering all my silly questions and pointing me in the right direction! Truly a satisfying pleaser to have these two on my side !! Words can’t explain how thankful I am !!

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.
