Consultation 5 Years Later

Dan Shipp helped me out five years ago I received a DWAI amongst other charges while living in Colorado. Through that process, he was very open and honest about what was to be expected and what he could do. He was able to get the "other charges" reduced if not removed all together, and made the DWAI ...charge as minimal as possible on my record. Dan has also made himself available five years later to discuss the implications that the charge has had on my record. He provided consultation to help identify routes to take when describing the incedent to potential employers free of charge. He has also made himself readily available for the future. I see Dan as not only a lawyer, but a friend. I would recommend him to anyone in the area in need of a lawyer!

DAN, DAN, he's the man. If he can't do it no one can!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

I would HIGHLY recommend Dan Shipp to represent anyone who is facing a DUI or drug related charges. He and his staff treated me like family the entire time, and went above and beyond the call of duty to help me. Dan personally picked me up and drove me to my court case because I couldn't get a ride.... I was promptly notified of all matters regarding my case and treated with utmost respect. I was facing a 30 day mandatory jail sentence and Dan somehow had the jail time completely eliminated. THANKS DAN!!!

I used to be a police officer and have used Dan twice for Dui cases and both time he won the case. Awesome attorney and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend Dan to anyone in this situation.
