Case Dismissed

Daniel executed my case in the exact manner anyone could hope for! Case dismissed! Daniel is very easy to work with, down to earth and understanding. There are times in our lives that we all make mistakes. When you do, you want a knowledgeable experienced attorney representing you on your behalf. I a...bsolutely recommend retaining Daniel Wannamaker as your attorney and letting him go to work for you!

Exceptionally smart, experienced and has my back

Wannamaker has handled many legal matters for me over the years (since 2013 misdemeanor to felonies) and has always achieved the outcome I was looking for. Always responds to any random legal inquiries I have and has a decent sense of humor. 10/10

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.
