Peofessional, Kind and Understanding

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Ortega, and I can confidently say that he went above and beyond throughout my entire process. From the beginning, Daniel was not only professional but also incredibly kind, considerate, and accommodating. He made me feel like more than just a client — he trea...ted me like family. What truly sets Daniel apart from other attorneys I’ve worked with is his deep understanding of the emotional toll that legal matters can take, especially on families. He listens — really listens — and makes sure you feel heard and supported. That level of compassion is rare, and it made a world of difference for me. If you’re looking for an attorney who will give your case his full attention and heart, I highly recommend giving Daniel a chance. He’s not just a great lawyer — he’s a genuinely good person who cares about the people he represents.

Awesome and Professional People

Daniel Ortega was so informative and helpful at all times. Mr. Ortega communicated and explained everything upfront. Always maintained professional. Young and knowledgeable, which is rare in these day for a lawyer! I was and still am very pleased with him! Thank you for your time and efforts!

Great Divorce Outcome

Daniel did an outstanding job with my divorce. He was aggressive in his approach and worked hard for a fair and equal outcome. He kept me informed of my legal rights throughout the process, was always prompt to return communication, and never promised more than he could deliver. He was honest, straig...htforward, and candid about my positions and wasn’t afraid to tell me if he thought I was being unreasonable. His knowledge of family law and the court’s positions made me feel confident in his ability to represent me. Daniel was thorough and articulate in all his communications with opposing counsel and did not turn away an opportunity to use their own arguments against them. Through his diligence and expertise, Daniel was able to get me exactly the outcome I wanted and thought I would get, fair and equal.

Excellent Attorney

Daniel represented my son, who is a young father and was very overwhelmed by the process of petitioning for joint custody of his daughter. Prior to meeting with Daniel my son and my granddaughter's mother were in complete disagreement about all aspects of their case. With Daniel's assistance, they we...re able to settle most of the details of the case prior to their hearing and ultimately settled the remaining matters on the day the hearing was scheduled. Daniel was thorough, strategic, and even familiar with the specific judge that was assigned to their case. He knew what to expect and prepared my son for the likely outcomes (and was correct about them). Additionally, he came up with creative solutions for disagreements that helped with quick resolution. His expertise made a very stressful period in our life much less so and brought the case to a middle ground. My son would not have been able to come to a common ground in this case on his own. Our family is very grateful for Daniel's expertise and that we decided to hire him.
