We found ourselves in need of help and thankfully found Bev and Daniel. Having little experience with the trouble - they were total lifesavers. Always answered our calls walked us through each step and set reasonable expectations. While we did not know exactly how everything would turn out they wor...ked absolute magic. We are so grateful and although we hope never to need their assistance if anything ever came up in the future Daniel and Bev would be our first call. Cannot thank you both enough for all your hard work and dedication!

Probably the best Criminal Defense Firm in Boise!

Really Down-to-Earth and experienced, answers his phone himself, only takes 20 clients at a time and does an amazing job! I was looking at 5 years in prison on my first offense, and Dan got the case thrown out of court! Bev and Dan are an amazing team, and if you want the best chance of defending yo...urself, you need to talk to Truscottlaw first!! They are the BEST!!!

Highly Recommend

My family hired Daniel for me after I had gotten myself into trouble. He made sure to always be realistic with me on how things usually and most likely will go. He worked very hard on my case and had past experience with my prosecutor and judge and was able to get me an even better deal than expected.... He did a fantastic job for me. I do not ever plan on being in trouble again, but if it happens, I will go to Daniel.

Highly Recommend

I got myself into some trouble and my family found Daniel to hire for my case and he did a fantastic job. He was always on the realistic side, letting me know the way things usually and most likely will go. He worked very hard on my case and ended up getting me the best deal I could have asked for an...d a second chance to come back from my reckless mistake.

Highly recommend, best choice we made!

Dan helped us with two cases, a Federal and a State at the same time and worked a miracle! He never promised us anything, or gave us false hope. He came up with a game plan and guided us through it all. He never judged us, or made us feel uncomfortable. Dan made sure my husband was able to conta...ct him directly while incarcerated, and kept us in the loop at all times. We will always recommend Dan to anyone and everyone that asks. He is an honest man and an EXCELLENT attorney!

Avvo Rating

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.
