Daniel Joseph Lickel

For starters, if you're experiencing the stress of tenant, landlord dispute, I'm sorry. Get good legal help. Do it. In San Diego, there are some good lawyers to be sure, but read all the reviews and you'll agree with me that there are none better than Dan. I won't go into details but I was in a he...ll of fight. Dan held what I consider "the bad guys" at bay. He put in a tremendous effort both in court and his patient communication with me over a fight that lasted well over two years. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dan came highly recommended by someone I knew that had won their case in court. I have seen first hand how Mr. Lickel presents his case before the court, the way he conducts himself is beyond reproach, extremely professional. I was very impressed with his closing arguments before the Judge. In my cas...e, I had a very abusive landlord, both in his actions and foul language towards us which culminated in a 60 day eviction notice. Needless to say, it did not go the way the landlord thought it would. In the end, I was able to live rent free for the six months prior to moving out of the rental, and Dan was able to negotiate a $30,000 settlement. All I can say is if you are looking for an attorney that will fight for everything you are entitled to, Dan is your man. He is definitely a no bs guy, he gets the job done. His fees are very reasonable because I expected to pay more than what he actually charged considering the hours of work he put into my case. "Dan is the Man" Thank you for everything Dan. - Tim & Lisa

I am an attorney myself and always say a person who represents himself has a fool for an attorney so I hired Dan. I had a landlord sue me for alleged damages. I went to small claims court myself as I was required and lost but appealed and brought Dan and got a much better outcome! I am thankful to... Dan for his expertise getting me through this difficult situation.

Dan Lickel is truly an amazing lawyer and human being. He is brilliant beyond words and highly skilled tenant advocate attorney . I have had Dan represent me in three cases and I prevailed in each case . During Covid-19 he help me deal with my landlord’s harassment for applying for the emergency rent...al assistance program and there attempts to evict me in retaliation. I had a flood in my house that ruined all of my leather belongings including my leather furniture. He secured a large settlement offer in a couple of months. The most important case was representing me in an unlawful detainer case for an incurable breach of the lease for subletting. I hired a live-in-aid and had to fire her, and she retaliated by calling my landlord’s claiming I sublet a room in my home. The landlord’s wanted me out because I utilized the emergency rental assistance program during the pandemic and they could get double the rent. Dan spent endless hours preparing for the trial and getting me ready to testify. His closing argument was truly epic and he saved me from having to move out of the house I have been in for six and half years. Dan graduated from Harvard University so he is highly educated and it’s evident in his work. Most importantly he actually cares about his clients and works tirelessly on each case after business hours and weekends to prepare for trial. His hourly rate and retainer fee is worth every penny. Thank you, Dan for everything you have done for me and my family.

I retained Mr. Lickel in a unlawful detainer because I asked the landlord for a reasonable accommodation. Landlord threatened me with harassing text messages and letters to coerce me to vacate. Anyway, Mr. Lickel fought hard for me to stay and we prevailed. What more can I say, “Dan is the Man “ Tha...nk you for everything Dan.
