He was able to Save, when we felt Lost

I couldn't be more thankful for Daniel. I can't explain it, but when I met him in person I naturally felt safe, like I had this wave of comfort and protection. Because of his work I have seen the impossible be done. I would say that he is worth it. He has an awesome team of professionals that work in... so many different areas. His whole office is great. I didn't know if I could even afford a lawyer, and Daniel found multiple ways. He and his team take a full dive into everything, that can really help your case! That is just the tip of what he and his team can do for you. I'm grateful to able to spend time with my partner and his family for the holidays, that wouldn't have been possible without Daniel Hutto and his team. Thank you sir, you have brought life to our family.

Attentive, Kind and Competent!

My mother in law was going through a very difficult time... at age 85 she was faced with having to file for a Dissolution of Marriage. Married in California, living in Arizona nearly 18 years we were unsure of so much as the laws were different. We contacted the Law Office of Daniel Hutto, and sch...eduled a phone consultation within a day or two. We spoke with attorney Daniel Carbone who was very kind and helped walk us through all that Mom would need and how the process would go in terms she could easily understand and didn't make her more anxious about the situation then she already was. We discussed the different fee's and opted to utilize their para-legal team that Mr Carbone advocated for. We had the pleasure of working with Nitasha Miller, a super compassionate, caring and understanding individual. She was patient and kind, understood what we needed and guided us through every part of the process. There were detailed questionnaires to complete and when we were not sure about what they meant we made a short list, and had a short phone call and we were done! She was expeditious which saved us money during a challenging time and got it right the first time! She was very attentive, responding to calls and emails right away that I almost felt like we were her only client and I knew that was not the case. She was so detail oriented and a huge pleasure to work with. Our case was settled within the 90 days they anticipated and they sent a report and balance sheet each month of our escrow account. Within 30 days of our case settling, Mom was sent the balance of her escrow account. Without hesitation, I 10000% recommend this firm. Their professionalism, compassion and honesty are a rare find these days! I can thank all those who left reviews on Yelp and other platforms for helping me make the right decision for my mom.

Nitasha, Counsel

The last five years I had a diff Atty. I’ve been fighting in court to get custody back of my daughter. I spent over 100K in Atty fees and have not gotten the results that I wanted or were best. The courts does not care what you bring to their attention or if you do. They do not make good decisions fo...r the best interest. I felt so drained and defeated and overwhelmed. I cried so many countless days, and praying. Some days I wanted to give up. But I never did. I kept fighting every day. I’m glad I did. I thought about seeking diff Atty for counsel to represent since my recent years were not successful with my past Atty. So I reached out and spoke to the office. The consultation went well with Shannon, an Atty. She listened to my concerns and she gave advice of how to proceed. I was connected with Nitasha who is my new Counsel. I paid my minimal retainer fee. I was apprehensive to take this issue to court because of my past history with the courts that haven’t been successful. I kept reminding myself that this is what’s best for the child, and it needs to be heard in court for a change. I knew this was my one only chance to get custody back. So I took the leap, and I proceeded. Nitasha is honest. She is kind and realistic. She cares about your case and whats best for the child. No matter how many calls or emails I sent or requested. She never showed she was annoyed with my concerns. She kept me informed every step of the process. Even moreso in the loop than my previous attorney would have done! I felt confident, safe and happy. I got the results that I’ve been wanting for the past five years. I entered into a settlement and didnt have to go to trial. I got custody back of my daughter and I got off child support!!!!! She made it seem so easy and seamlessly. She is very professional and respectful. This was the best decision I ever could’ve made and I only wish I did it sooner. That’s the only thing I’m kicking myself in the butt for. This office does not nickel and dime you like I have seen in the past with my experience with other attorney offices. The price is very reasonable. If I can say one thing is, I recommend this Office, and please request to work with Nitasha! She is phenomenal. She’s very intelligent in many versatile ways. She is such a blessing! she may think that her work was small, but it was huge in my heart. There’s no way I can thank her enough.

Than you

Daniel assisted me in converting a traffic infraction from a criminal to a civil nature. He helped me a lot, and I can't express how much I appreciate his commitment to making my goals a reality. As a criminal defense lawyer, I would strongly advise him. He answers nicely and is very open and honest ...in every circumstance.

Review of attorney: Sean Campbell of Daniel Hutto firm.

Prior to hiring Sean, I had retained multiple attorneys and spent hours researching boutique firms specializing in family law. Finding the right lawyer proved to be more difficult than I expected. I am the custodial parent with shared legal rights. Co-parenting became stressful once my ex was married... and I was constantly dealing with harassment from her spouse. In addition, I discovered an incident had taken place in my ex’s home which involved crimes of a serious nature. I was extremely concerned for my child’s safety and needed to file an emergency motion. During the initial custody hearings my ex’s attorney was very aggressive. He has a reputation for being cantankerous, rude and outspoken. Only 1 of the 4 attorneys I previously hired was able to successfully litigate against him. I grew more concerned because I was running out of time. Fortunately, I found Sean Campbell. Partner with David Hutto’s firm. I was thoroughly impressed with the reviews, so I scheduled a consultation. I met with Shannon a principal partner of Hutto. I explained to her the severity of my case and was curious to know if the firm had any experience litigating against the opposing attorney. She knew exactly who he was and recommended Sean with no hesitation. I had to pay a premium, but it was well worth it. The opposing counsel’s theatrics did not phase Sean. He knew exactly how to handle this character. Sean tactfully exposed the truth behind all the ridiculous accusations and excuses they had prepared as a defense. He kept his cool and was able to clearly articulate all my concerns to the judge. Long story short, now I have sole decision-making rights of my child. Sean is no joke. I was impressed with his level of integrity. Much obliged Sir. I can’t thank you enough. I also must give credit to his Paralegal Natasha. I got a response to every call and email I sent on time. Sean is highly competent in family law. Having dealt with attorneys from the highest rated firms I consider Sean among the upper echelon. C.V.
