GOAT

Dan displayed a level of knowledge for the law that he used skillfully to achieve the result we wanted in our case. He crushed the competition. I would highly recommend him for Family Law or Criminal Defense.

Thank You DAN for saving my sons future!

We hired Dan back in June of 2013 to defend our son for criminal charges he was facing. The law office was refferred to us by a family member, and Dan was assigned to our case. From the beginnning, he was very compasionate about our situation and explained to us what our son was looking at, what th...e options were, and what steps we needed to take. He took charge of the case and I never had to worry about what was going on. I knew he would work as hard as he could for us. I asked that he contact me weekly via text message, phones calls, or email to provide me status updates. He provided me his personal cell phone and I was able to text him at any time and he would get back to me timely. He never hesitated to provide, even if he had none. He conducted numerous interviews via phone and in person with people that could help my sons case. My son was possibly facing years in prison, but in the end only served 2 days in jail thanks to Dan and all his hard work. I was never a believer in Attorneys and felt it was a waste of money. But Dan proved me wrong. He cared about us, and fought to save my sons future. Thank you DAN KAFFANA!

Lied. Forgot to File Court Docs. Unresponsive.

Kaffana failed to file certain time sensitive court documents and Kaffana stated he did file them. He failed to timely submit a subpoena and he wrote in incorrect information for the subpoena. Kaffana never attached the transcript/evidence needed for an appeal submitted to the Court of Appeals. Th...e CoA threw out the appeal solely because there was not the transcript/evidence needed for the Opening Brief of the appeal. He has lied to my Ex's counsel and stated I was difficult to reach when I had been emailing Kaffana and made several phone calls with voicemails left at his office. He withdrew as my lawyer because he stated he could not get a hold of me for 30+ days, which was false. The State Bar is investigating this matter. He has detrimentally ruined my life for my kids and I.
