This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Great Attorney!

Dan was so patient and helpful to me. He gave me some great advice and actually steered me away from filing bankruptcy at this time. I am forever grateful!

Thorough, Honest and Understanding

I was impressed with Mr Usiak right from the beginning. He stated the pros and cons of the case, the percentage of the outcome and what all was involved in perusing my case. He was insightful. knowledgeable and didn't talk down to me, or treat me as a run of the mill case. I don't understand Ba...nkruptcy and all the in and outs. My ex had filed a Chapter 13 to keep from paying the divorce settlement and Mr Usiak was very clear in his explanations, the law and what options I had, what the chances were for the options and possible outcomes. It was great to have him on my side Very warm and considerate. I would highly recommend Mr Usiak

Good guy, but not adequate in the courtroom

Daniel Usiak is very knowledgable, but he is very weak in the courtroom. If you have an amiable family law case, he would be ideal. But if you are in a high-conflict case, involving child custody and litigation, as I was, he is not the attorney for you. He actually did more damage to my case than goo...d, and I lost my case because he failed on so many fronts during the hearings, including not entering exhibits into evidence and not preparing for our hearing adequately.

I am sorry that you are disappointed with the results. I wish the facts we were able to present to the judge had been better.

"Dan is a compassionate, experienced attorney who is well-respected by his peers. His background as a minister uniquely qualifies him to counsel clients in crisis (which is what a bankruptcy is for most people)."

"I endorse this lawyer's work in all fields of practice. Dan is a fantastic attorney and a great person. He is very compassionate about his clients and meticulous in his work. Clients should choose Mr. Usiak for their needs. He is experienced and professional. I have used Dan to help me in matters as well and have been extremely pleased with his knowledge and performance (you know, the attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client)."

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.
