10/10

I spent a few days, phone call after phone call trying to find the right office to help me with my family case. When I first spoke to Shannon, I already knew she is who I want backing me up. She is so fierce, strong, professional & doesn't take anyone's crap! She is very thorough & is always on top o...f things, I never had to reach out to her, she GETS THINGS DONE! Shannon & her team actually work as a team & they have truly made this intimidating process so easy & not so intimidating. Will I be referring others here? I sure will! Thank you again Shannon & Daniel for a great experience, can't tell you how much I appreciate you two!!

A True Professional who will lead the way for you.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Daniel during my recent hearing. From day one, I couldn't have been happier with my experience working with Daniel and his entire team he has working alonside him. Prior to meeting with Daniel, I discussed my case with 5 or 6 other potential attorneys ...and Daniel was the only one who offered any sort of follow up calls or emails asking about my case and if he could be of any help to me? To me, that was a true testament to his moral character. Going to court is obviously a very intimidating experience for most people especially, if you've never had to hire an attorney, before. From my initial phone call with Daniel, he was extremely honest, patient, and he took the time to explain every single detail to me and what I should expect to happen along the way in my case. His attention to detail, case-building skills, composure, and outright professionalism were second to none! Daniel is very knowledgeable, assertive, and confident in his profession. One aspect that really stood out for me was his availability and how quickly his response time was when I did have a question for him. I researched quite a few other attorneys prior to hiring Daniel and one very common complaint that I read over and over again was how long other attorney's seemed to take to respond back to you with an answer. Daniel always responded to me in less than 24 hours with an answer. Obviously, I realize that I am not Daniel's only client that he was working with at the time, but he always made me feel like I was his only client! It seemed like he took a personal interest in my case and saw it through to the very end. His ability to listen and communicate with me was critical in my choice in hiring his firm. Daniel and his entire team really did a tremendous job along the way and I couldnt speak any higher of his law firm. If you are faced with the unfortunate decision of having to hire an attorney, I would highly recommend hiring Daniel and his team. They are there for you and they really do care

Knowledgeable and Dependable

Daniel is the most outstanding lawyer to work with! He helped me when I got into a bad situation 3 days before moving out of state, Daniel knew exactly what I needed to do to get permission to leave the state and complete my mandatory classes out of state. Daniel always stays calm and collected while... listening to the details of your legal situation, even when you may be freaking out! Daniel seems to always know what to do in legal matters and will go the extra mile to research something for you if he feels he needs to know more on the subject for you. He is a very hard working man that I can always count on to take my call when I have a question that only a lawyer can answer.

Very Knowledgeable

Daniel used his knowledge of the Maricopa County Court system to provide legal advice to us regarding a misdemeanor charge that our son had received. With Daniel's help our son's case was dismissed.
