Fantastic

You'll be hard pressed to find a better criminal attorney than Greg Daniels. He is sharp, hard-working and excellent at strategy. He is also incredible in depositions and cross-examinations. Lastly, he is easy to get ahold of, which is of great value in criminal defense. He has my highest recommendat...ion.

Five Stars! Greg Is a Wonderful Attorney!

I rarely write reviews for anyone... but I want everyone to know what a wonderful attorney Greg Daniels is. Greg gave me the peace of mind and confidence during my court case. He told me everything would work out and he exceeded my expectations. Greg explained the process, how the court worked and... how he was going to work with the DA to get my charges reduced. Greg has the experience, demeanor and charisma that puts people at ease and achieves outstanding results. I was charged for a hit-and-run for bumping into a car in a parking lot. The car I backed into was illegally parked and I was unaware I had caused any damaged. When notified by the police, it was a total surprise. He had my charges reduced of a criminal hit-and-run (a criminal charge which included a rather large fine, community service and multiple point to my driver's license) reduced to a minor traffic ticket and a small fine. I talked to two other attorney's, and they told me to take the first DA offer. So happy I went with Greg who told me to fight it. Greg is the best!

Hired for DUI not guilt plea - a very bad decision

I hired Greg Daniel’s for a trial on A DUI I refuse to blow and plead not guilty. He went in the initial pre-trial agreement without counselling me on what was encompassed. Mr. Daniel’s told me that pre-trail was like babysitting. This could not be further from the truth. Pretrial basically stri...ps you of every privilege you have to support your family while preparing for trail. I had a prior that was a days short of 10 year with circumstances which would have weighed heavily on the court but Mr. Daniel’s did not even address this with me. He flippantly mentioned he was wrong about the date by a short time period. Once on pretrial I was issued a warrant for diluted UA’s without my knowledge. No paperwork or explanation of what causes a dilute was address and he did nothing to protect me here. The judge put an ankle monitor on me. (Remember I still am not guilty) to learn no I am not drinking alcohol. This affected my income in which I lost a major account. 10 months later Mr. Daniels still would not take my case to trial. The judge said I could work out of town and Mr. Daniels did not help me cover all of my needs to address the pre-trail issues. Another warrant was issued for me without my knowledge. He asked for an expert witness not guiding me on how to obtain one. I gave him one, but the man was old a senile and ha memory problems. Then he wanted me to make the witness appear. I could not do that. He then asked for documentation I could not readily produce. 3 weeks prior to trail he told me he was asking for a continuance. He told me this multiple time in email and text. Then he said I must show up at the minute when I was sick. I gave him my doctors note to which he wanted more evidence. In my opinion Mr. Daniel’s was the worse attorney I could have hired to help me through a very devastating ordeal where I did not understand the laws or penalties as I a not a natively from Colorado. Today he dropped because I owed a $40 fee to the courts and no show for a court date to be continued. First of all I’ve tried to pay 2 times, but they will not take cash or credit card. The pretrial people told me not to worry about the $40 and pay it anytime.

Replied last September 06, 2019

My client here had a second DUI in Jefferson County. There, they will put you on pre-trial no matter what. She violated those rules the first time in several ways (not just dilutes) and then violated again by not giving any UAs. It is unfortunate that she had to move to Texas to support her family but we secured permission from the Court for her to do so. I told her (as did the Court and pre-trial) that she still had to comply with pre-trial. She is right that I did not find a place in Texas for her to do that and I did leave that to her but I told her that. She did not and they issued a no bond warrant for her. Then she did not show up for her jury trial (the doctors notes she gave me did not excuse her attendance in court and were for very minor issues). She is in a tough spot. She had moved to Texas and though we were moving to continue the trial (because her witness was not competent and we needed a witness to combat the government), she had to show up and I told her so many times. I feel terrible for her and I did all I could for her (Got her out after her first pre-trial violation, got her permission to move to Texas, prepared and appeared for trial) but ultimately she is unhappy. She did not do much to help herself. At the Daniels Law Firm, we always do all we can and we did that here. She is confused for sure because $40 is generally to clear an OJW and that was never an issue for her. I never want any client to be unhappy. This is what I do and I take it very seriously. Communication is critical in any relationship and here, despite many emails and text messages, somehow there was a disconnect between us. That is not typical.

Best Attorney Ever

Where to start with Attorney Gregory Daniels, Well let me start by saying that out of all the attorneys I contacted Daniels was the ONLY one who actually took the time and consideration to listen and actually want to help!!!! Not only was his price super fair but his work was AMAZING! Every other att...orney kept telling me I was GOING TO HAVE to present myself in court and that there was a high chance of me doing jail time! Well NOT with Daniels!!!! Not only was my case dismissed but I never had to show up for court, he also had my warrant lifted in a matter of 3 days!!!!! Which was one of the reasons the other Attorneys I contacted told me I was gonna have to appear, not only is he VERY communicative but always there to answer your calls and always kept me updated on every move!!! Greg I was grateful and BLESSED to find such an Attorney as yourself!!! WAY TO GO!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY TO ANYONE DO NOT HESITATE HE WILL GET IT DONE!!!!

The most honest and trustworthy lawyer I ever met

I was charged with a felony and needed an attorney with significant expertise with felonies, as I was literally in jeopardy of losing everything. I have had prior arrests and was in horrible position. I was facing significant jail time and that felony charge would have put me in a position of losing ...my job. I am a professional and was skeptical of other attorneys because it seemed like they were just after telling me what I wanted to hear just to earn my business. Mr. Daniels took the time to explain to me the pros and cons, answered all my questions, and told me the best and worst case scenarios if I either took it to trial or took a plea. He was extremely knowledgeable and an incredible negotiator. In the end, I did not receive any jail sentence, nor was I convicted of a felony! Words cannot explain how professional Mr. Daniels was in every aspect of my case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this attorney. Good, understanding, and seasoned lawyers are hard to find, especially at such a great rates. Thank you so much!

"I endorse this lawyer. I met him when we worked together as public defenders and he always got excellent results. He takes his cases seriously and works diligently to get the best result possible for his client. He is never afraid of going trial and when he does, he has fantastic appeal with a jury. He has won cases that I was shocked could be won by anyone! In fact, I was so impressed with him as a whole, I married him. I no longer work directly with him, but I am proud of the lawyer that he is and would never hesitate to send anyone with ANY criminal issue to him - in fact I do so quite often."
