Daniel A. West

I also had a very bad experience with Dan. I wish I would have done my homework before hiring him to represent me in my divorce. By the time I finally figured out how bad he really was, I had already paid him more than $15,000 and I didn't have the resources to drop him and start over again with so...meone else. I completely agree with the comments from one of the other reviews, my experience with Dan was that he was unorganized, disrespectful, dishonest, difficult to communicate with, and simply put, just a very bad attorney. In the end, my opinion of him was that he was only interested in taking as much of my family's net worth as he could possibly get his hands on. When I shared my frustrations regarding his unwillingness to fight for me (and my children), he dropped me as a client. It appears by the other reviews that this is a recurring thing that he does. I wish someone would have warned me about him before I hired him to represent me. AVOID THIS ATTORNEY.

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. ​

Dan represented me and from the beginning was extremely unorganized, disrespectful to his office staff and rude. He presented himself to be a very strong attorney in court and that's why I initially tried to look past his poor first impression. Dan ended up being an attorney that was difficult to com...municate with, difficult to get answers from and left me clueless as to what was going on with my case. He ignored emails which resulted in me having to send multiple emails to him and his paralegal. He would rarely respond but when I received my bill each month, I noticed that he was charging me for those emails he had ignored. In court, Dan was asked to provide the Judge certain documents by a certain date. Dan never did and that resulted in part of my motion being thrown out. Along with the motion being thrown out, the thousands of dollars I spent having Dan prepare for the motion was gone. Dan said "don't worry about the money" and assured me he would refund me the portion of the money that went toward the motion that was thrown out due to him not submitting the documents in time to the Judge. Dan never refunded me my money and stopped answering any emails about it. Dan was also asked by the Judge to draft final orders in my case and submit them to the court. He never did and withdrew from my case without submitting final orders. This left me with only bulky transcripts that have to be sifted through every time someone needs to know what the final orders were. During a telephone call with Dan, he exploded into a screaming rage, cursing and yelling and using the *F word more times than I can count. This was right in the middle of my case and at a time when I needed representation the most. I would never recommend Dan to anyone under any circumstances and question how he is even able to practice law.
