Dan Wannamaker is a Great lawyer!

Dan Wannamaker represented me in a white collar crime case in Federal Court in Houston. He listened carefully to my explanation of my case, offered what turned out to be excellent advice on how to proceed, and was with me every step of the way to minimize my sentence. Dan followed up with me conti...nuously to make sure I completely understood the complexities of the legal situation and, in doing so, brought me relief from the anxiety of being involved in a complex legal situation. Of course he knows the law, but more importantly, knows the functioning of the legal system and how to best position his clients for the best possible outcome. I would recommend Dan to anyone, without reservation.

Great Attorney I highly Recommend!

I hired Mr. Wannamaker to assist me and he did an excellent job! He's a great person and truly understood my perspective and was available to speak with me if and when I had any concerns. If you need consultation I'd highly recommend him as a source of knowledge and expertise in a myriad of areas. Th...anks Daniel!

Power for the People!

Dan was my lawyer on a federal marijuana grow case. I would not have been able to make it through the process without him. I have never seen anyone with his knowledge of law and tenacity in the courtroom! It gave me great piece of mind to know that he was on my side, fighting for me and my rights.... I do not foresee me needing another attorney, but if that day should ever come, I would not hesitate to call Dan!

Excellent Attorney

Dan Wannamaker helped me with my case. The original charges were money laundering but through his hard work, investigation and dedication he was able to have the charges reduced significantly. Dan is professional, reliable, dependable and knowledgeable. He provided me both worst and best case scenari...os for the expected outcome. I am grateful to Dan for helping me through and always responding to calls emails and being punctual to our appointments with court officials.
