Dan really helped me in a pinch

I was pulled over in Idaho and I reside in CA. Having the possibility of needing to travel back to Boise for court, Dan made a deal so he could show on my behalf and I wouldn't need to spend extra money in travel. He and Bev worked right along with me in figuring out the best way to go about my s...ituation. He was able to get things dropped under some circumstances which was greatly appreciated! If I'm ever in need of a lawyer again while visiting Idaho I'd call dan back without a second thought. Thanks again Dan

Mr. Truscott was straightforward, realistic and reassuring. I would certainly use him again should the need arise.

Effective, Thorough, and Compassionate

I was Mr. Truscott's client in a criminal matter. Not only did he do an excellent job advocating for me legally, but he helped explain what was happening and put me at ease during a stressful time. He seemed to know all the various prosecutors and judges that dealt with my case, and his prior knowled...ge of each allowed him to tailor his arguments accordingly. If I ever need a criminal attorney in the future, I will hire Dan Trustcott again.

A Great Lawyer at an Affordable Price

My initial meeting with Dan was very helpful, providing me with a lot of information about the DUI process in Idaho. He immediately challenged my license suspension and eventually got my charge reduced. I would highly recommend him for DUI cases.

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.
