My ex and I were to divorce, supposedly amicably, by mediation in what was to be a fast and painless experience. The judge, however, deemed the agreement unfair to me so denied it. In a fit of rage, my ex decided to sic a high cost lawyer on me, paid for by his wealthy parents, to "put me in my plac...e."
I had never been in a position to need a lawyer for anything, so was frightened and despairing of what would happen, and how much money I'd have to put on my credit card. In fact, his lawyer called me and bullied me about the case, making me feel vulnerable and attacked - just like my ex husband did during our marriage.
Luckily I did decide to get a lawyer and found Dan. He was extremely helpful, smart, and kind. The first time I spoke to him he even admitted that I could represent myself if I did enough research. I felt this was very honest of him to admit, but I am truly glad I did not choose that path because I needed support, and he provided it to me. I felt alone and filled with fear but Dan and Jana not only alleviated that, but set things to a fair and just resolution.
In fact, I ended up getting FAR more in the settlement than in the original mediation agreement, which would have left me in abysmal financial straits. I also learned just how terribly my ex was trying to pull one over on me during mediation.
I am now attending college so I can get myself back on my own two feet instead of being forced to work a job that would put me and my children in poverty.
Dan charges a fair price to represent his clients; yet can put the opposing side's high-powered lawyer to shame.
I recommend him because he is fair and just and nothing like the typical smarmy vision people have of lawyers.
