Definitely recommend

I would recommend Dan West to anyone going through a divorce and dealing with custody issues. He has advocated for me and the wellbeing of my infant son. Dan helped me, as a breastfeeding mother, get appropriate parenting time with my son. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a gut instinct about h...ow to proceed in complicated cases. His presence and delivery in the court room alleviated so much anxiety. He is straight forward in his approach and knows how to communicate your needs both to the opposing side and infront of the judge. I appreciate his ethics and high standard to fight for what is right and fair. His efforts have really come through for me. Dan and his staff have provided me with peace in a time of so much turmoil.

Awesome Attorney

I recommend Dan to anyone. He is very honest and gives you the good/bad/and ugly as far as what to expect and what can happen. He is very interested in settling his cases and NOT just trying to get your money. He understands the court process as well as the fact that if you have children you and the ...other parent have to deal with each other for a long time. I had 3 different attorney's before Dan and one was all about $$ $30,000 and still not at final orders, another was too afraid of opposing counsel and wanted me to agree to things I shouldn't (Dan is not afraid), and the last one was so disorganized it was terrible. Dan was great, aggressive when needing to be, honest, knew my case, and got the best possible solution for my children. These negative reviews I can only think they must e crazy or the type of people who no matter what are never going to be happy. Dan is AWESOME!!!

Top Notch!

I laughed aloud at the bad review below. Sounds more like someone disgruntled on the other side​ than a client of Dan's. I had a stellar experience with my case thanks to Dan and staff.​ He's my second attorney, my first had been great, but slowly became less organized and it cost me dearly. ​So​... I asked several professionals in the court system ​ who they would use if it were them and their child going to court, and the most common answer I got was Dan West. Now, unlike many attorneys, he isn't a slick s​chmoozer​ type....​but I've been to court enough to know judges see through that. They focus on facts, honesty and respect for the law. With my child​ on the line, I chose Dan. Dan exceeded my expectations​ when it mattered the most.​ ​He made sure I was prepared for court, he knew my case details inside and out, was unflinching in the face of an insulting opposing counsel and knew the law to reach my and my child's best outcome. ​I am thrilled with Dan's skill as an attorney and trust his advice and abilities in court implicitly. ​

AMAZING!!!!

We hired Mr. West for custody issues after the divorce. He did a great job although the Judge did not apply the law properly Mr. West then assisted us with an appeal which we ultimately won!!! Mr West was easy to work with, Very honest and straight forward. He gave us realistic advise on what to expe...ct. I would recommend Mr. West to everyone and I do!!!

Great Attorney with alot of experience

I hired Dan West to do my divorce that had several custody issues. It was an incredibly stressful time in our life. Dan has a wealth of experience that kept us one step ahead and I always felt like he was available. It's confusing to me to read other reviews that claim he or his office was unrespo...nsive, that was never the case. I would take those reviews with a grain of salt and are most likely the result of an outcome that could not be avoided. With almost 20 years of experience, Dan was able to navigate me through a difficult time with his expertise. He not only had a plan from the start, he also knew all of the players. This is when experience counts!!
