A Beacon of Hope

This has been the second time that I have acquired Mr. Daniel Wilson. Each time I have greatly appreciated his communication and commitment to the issue. If you have ever had a public defender then you know how risky and poor the outcome of your case could become. Also, he has become the man that I... will retain for any un foreseen problems. I greatly appreciated everything he has given to my case and any issues that I had. I have thanked him personally many times and it's a pleasure to give him a great review. Thank you again!

Dan, the man with a plan (case dismissed)

I left Scottsdale in a compromising situation, and it felt like my world was crashing down. I didn’t have a clue on how to navigate it, until I consulted with Dan and I immediately hired him. Off the bat Dan displayed that he genuinely cared for me as a person, checking on my mental and physical well...-being before any discussion of the legal aspects. Dan being a caring person is honestly just a bonus of what you’ll get from him. He is as professional as it gets. Even in the heat of the pandemic and I living outside of Arizona he maneuvered this case flawlessly. Dan is on the ball, and always made my family and I aware and at ease with the situation and how to proceed. He worked the case to the absolutely best case scenario. I would 110% recommended Dan to anyone who I love.

Extraordinary Lawyer

I would like to refer anyone that is seeking an excellent attorney to Daniel Wilson. Daniel is a professional attorney who is compassionate, thoughtful and he sincerely cares about YOU and getting the best results for you. As a Canadian visiting the United States a lawyer from Canada recommended I se...ek council from AZ for a cycling accident. Mr. Wilson needed to navigate a case involving three parties being liable for the accident, with one of the companies being from outside of the country. I was always able to be in contact with Daniel with questions about my claim, and Daniel was always available, very patient and very detailed with his explanations and reasons for how best to move forward. I received a fair settlement for my accident claim however, if I had been willing to go to court the claim may have been much greater. I was not looking for “great” but for fair compensation and that is exactly what Daniel was able to provide me. I am extremely grateful to him and would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Acquitted !!

I was aquitted on 09-06-2018 of Possession of a Narcotic Drug ( Cocaine) thanks to my Attorney Dan Wilson. Dan was able to research and bring before the jury, all the inconsistent statements by a Witness and Police. I am a 52 year old with no prior criminal history. The important thing is that Attor...ney Dan Wilson believed in my case and was not going to let the government take away the liberty of an innocent man. Thanks Attorney Dan Wilson for giving me my life back.
