Excellent Lawyer
Amazing lawyer, I had a couple of warrants and I was scared to go to court since last time I ended up in jail. So I hired Daniel, he took care of me very well. He fully explained all the possible outcomes and made me feel at ease. And to make matter worse I had a vacation planned out that my fiancee surprised me with, so i had to take care of this asap. He showed up to court right away, and took care of everything. Got me an amazing outcome very happy. He saved me from going to jail and also gave me a vacation experience i would never forget. Thank-you Daniel! Must hire!

Saved my life and career!!
I’m just going to be real about my post so anyone out there reading this will know it’s not bs. I sought out Mr. Flores and explained to him my situation. Without going into major details I was facing serious felony charges. If I was to be convicted of these felonies I was facing, my life and career would’ve been over. After meeting Mr. Flores and him explaining a course of action I knew I had no choice but to retain his services. Fast forward my case present time; my charges went from felonies, dropped to misdemeanors, and finally straight up DISMISSED!!!! Mr. Flores is a straight shooter who gives his 110% Towards his craft. What’s more impressive is his knowledge of the law and court proceedings. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I am walking free, with my family, and still have my career. Hiring Mr. Flores was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.. If you’re in a jam and need good representation Mr. Flores is the way to go. Don’t hesitate just give him a call.

He'll help you out!
I recently went to the Law Office of Daniel P. Flores for help with a case. Upon meeting with Daniel, I knew he was the right lawyer for me. He was very experienced and professional with my matters both inside and outside of the court room. He always answered all of my questions in a timely manner and in a way that I could understand. He went to court for me a few times (I didn't have to go), and was able to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend going to Daniel Flores for any and all of your lawyering needs! You will not regret it. If I ever have another legal issue come up in the future, I will for sure be going back to him.

Effective and Empathetic Counsel
Mr Flores was a great help. I needed a lawyer to answer some legal questions. After I told him what I was being charged with he gave me a few legal options and put my mind at ease. Mr Flores kept me informed during the entire process. So glad I met and hired him. I didn’t need to take off work to go to court. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk with.

Personable and experienced DUI attorney
Daniel was professional, helpful and diligent throughout the handling of my case, from defending it back in 2016 all the way through to having it expunged in 2019. He is excellent at laying out the pros and cons (and at weighing up the costs) of every single option available to you. I have only good things to say about the way he managed the process, which included keeping me informed and up to speed at every step of the way, and I have no hesitations in recommending his services.

SGT Cabrera, Julio
aA few years ago I ended u in a bad situation that had me in a tight spot. I got pulled over and taken in for a DUI, and that's where it began. .. I had a limited amount of money and needed help ASA due to my military career. I hired one lawyer who ended up taking the money and never heard from again... I then came upon my #1 recommended Lawyer, Mr. Daniel Flores. I already had my liscense suspended for prior offenses and had just gotten a DUI. Mr. Flores, was able to not just re-engage my liscense back but also able to have my fines from the last offenses lowered but some even dismissed and most of all.. get my liscense re-enstated after over a year with a suspended license, many traffic offenses and a DUI.. A fully re-enstated liscense with no restrictions.. other than the SR-22... Which that no one gets away from. Mr. Flore's professional work ethics and his will to give it all and fight ... And will to work past the regular work hours and dedication to helping his clients , are the main reason why I also recommend Mr. Daniel Flores for any traffic offenses etc. That you might be involved in.. There is Lawyers out there who unfortunately just go for the money. I can assure you Mr. Daniel Flores is not one of those Lawyers.. he will do everything within his legal power to have a positive outcome and won't give up until he gives his 300%. I met Mr. Daniel Flores roughly about 6 years ago and til this day, he is the Lawyer I go to for all my trffic offenses. I know he will take care of me like he does with all his clients. I recommend this Lawyer for anyone that has any traffic violations.. big or small .. a day ago or years ago.. he can help you have the best positive outcome to your case and will stop at nothing to find out how he will accomplish his mission.. Thank you Mr. Flores,. Your one of the few and best lawyer's I have met and the reason why I still choose to go to you for any of my legal traffic matters.

Client
Mr. Daniel Flores is an exceptional defense Lawyer. In my case he was very honest and realistic with me, which is always much appreciated. In 2012, at the age of 19, Daniel was able to make me feel confident and assured me that I could put my trust in him. He is very detailed and punctual and I never felt like I didn't know what was going on with my case. In my case, he was able to reduce fines, classes, and most importantly guide me in the right direction to be able to talk to the DMV and save my license from being 100% suspended. I never had to appear in court once, but could always expect a detailed and informative phone call from Daniel. Most importantly Daniel was a great guy who genuinely cared. Years later I know I can always count on him for direct answers to my questions or concerns. Daniel was a great help to me and I have the most confidence that he will be the same for anyone else. Highly recommend.

Senior Vice President
I hired Daniel to represent me in a situation that I needed a lot of help. I have had a very successful life but had a bout with alcoholism prior to me getting sober. During this time, I got a Dui and also had a couple of other cases, also had a separate DUi from 7years prior. I had to get all of the exponged for me to go back to work. Daniel was able to go to court with me several times, in front of several judges to get this all straightened out. I got off probation early for recent DUI, and the rest of the cases were dismissed and everything was taken out of public view. I’m not back at work with a wonderful job. Daniel is a phenomenal lawyer, is a really nice guy and was super available to me when I tried to reach him. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking similar help.

He's got your back!
I would recommend Daniel to anyone looking for true representation. He was supportive, realistic and well versed in the matter in which I retained him for. He was willing to fight for me and indeed go the extra mile. He was honest, direct, and never left me feeling alone. He was confident and his defense was strong. I was very pleased with the outcome and would definitely look to Daniel first if the need arose. He's an asset to the field of Defense Attorneys. Work with him and I am positive you will agree.

Amazing consultation
I’ve been worried sick over my upcoming court date for a traffic misdemeanor, so I came to this site seeking help. Daniel kindly replied to my question with a helpful tip, so I messaged him seeking further advice. He gave me a call shortly after. His consultation was so thorough and supportive, I already feel so much weight lifted off me! I have never delt with going to court for a traffic offense, so to talk with someone who’s familiar with the local courthouse has relieved my anxiety so much. Thank you for your help, Daniel!
