Knowledgeable, helpful, and got results

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with Dan Chambers. His knowledge, confidence, professionalism and ability to help me navigate the complexities of the California justice system are beyond compare. Dan took the time to understand my case from every angle. He knew aspects of the law and that were b...eyond me, and he clearly delineated all options, showed how he could help, and what likely outcomes were for my choices. He was also personable, friendly and reassuring. Dan took a charge that was unfounded and made a case that the local government should drop it based the vagaries of the laws involved. While there was pushback, the case was indeed dropped, saving me time, money and the ordeals of going through trial.

Hire Dan ASAP. Great lawyer, great price.

Dan is great. I was beyond freaked out about a DUI I got in Irvine and I called Dan for some guidance. He made me feel much better and gave me hope. I consulted with him free and I was confident he could help me out. He is a good guy - I was very hesitant about working with some scumbag who would tak...e all my money and then leave me out in the cold. Dan's prices are VERY fair and much less expensive than others in this field. He was with me every step of the way, even helping me do minor administrative paperwork bullsh*t at the court. With Dan's help - the DMV ended up DROPPING THE CHARGES against me. I am extremely happy with his services.

Experienced, competent and accessible

Excellent listener, intelligent, confident, and accessible. He made a house call and answered all of mine and my families questions. He immediately took action and became the point of contact, buffering "informal/investigative" phones calls from my past employer, CPS and a Sheriff's Department inves...tigator. Without Dan's involvement I would not know where things would be right now. There was no official case filed, however the initial "informal investigation" had serious accusations and Dan answered their inquiries about me and kept me out of the line of fire, ultimately protecting me from myself, and their investigative tactics.

Dan Chambers, Review

I found that Dan Chambers was the perfect lawyer for me. I had had no experience with the criminal system, and a lot of worries and even more questions. Dan knows the system from both sides, having been a prosecutor for a number of years before becoming a defense lawyer. His descriptions were alw...ays clear and precise, and I found his predictions to be dead on; they seemed to come true like clockwork. I had been blindsided by my wife's preparations to file a divorce. One night she came home from work and picked an argument while I was sleeping. I am much older than her, a senior citizen, and physically unwell. She ran out of the house with a telephone and dialed the police. They came and arrested me, charging me with spousal battery. To me the charge was unfathomable, as I had done nothing to her, certainly no marks or sign of any violence and in fact committing no violence; I had only touched her in passing, to maintain my balance, a common thing for me. The police used the balancing touch to charge me with spousal battery, a very serious charge. I found that the police were very helpful towards young and pretty her and already treating me like a villain, to the point of being abusive and calling me names. Unfortunately for me, I tried to explain to them how I had done nothing and they twisted my words for the police report. In the police station they had pre-prepared forms with a judge's signature on them, so they arrested me, and issued me a restraining order as well, in the middle of the night. In this way I found myself in my sister's house sleeping in a spare room for 3 weeks, terribly shocked, upset, and worried, and having muddied my Miranda rights by having the police cherry picking my words. I really needed a good lawyer, and started searching for one in a number of ways, through the bail bond company's recommendations, a family recommendation (overly expensive), and a large number of internet referrals. I needed someone who would really listen to me, be articulate enough to help me understand the realities, and explain different outcomes of different strategies: I had been an engineering manager in my career, and found that Dan was the right person for me, answering my large number of questions, reassuring me, and ultimately getting me a good outcome that wouldn't affect my divorce. One amazing thing about Dan is his ability to quickly analyze situations, and discuss probable outcomes. Also, he is very interesting to watch in court. He was my lawyer for the civil case and the criminal case both coming out of this situation. I can tell you I can't imagine working with anyone else than Dan, and I recommend him very highly for his abilities as well as his patience and his calming effect on me. There were absolutely no surprises.

Dan Chambers - Best Lawyer Ever (Criminal, Business or Otherwise)

"Facing Attempted 187 (aka attempted murder), life imprisonment & over $1,000,000 bail, Dan Chambers (the best Lawyer I ever met), helped get me out of jail. Mistaken identity, not guilty, the police still arrested me. I began to believe my family would never see me free again, until we hired Dan ...Chambers. Dan is truly a great attorney and great man. He was a Godsend. His knowledge of the law, his experience, attorney skills, credibility and caring for my case and my family is beyond compare. He believed in my innocence and gave me hope and belief, when my future seemed bleak. Dan is a fighter, an investigator, a believer and was the best chance for me. He told me his strategy was to aggressively fight for me. He designed an impressive criminal defense. He vigorously pursued discovery and evidence that ultimately lead me to be free. It was fate that brought Dan into our lives. Dan and God gave me faith when I had little hope and seemingly no chance to be free again, considering all circumstances. My family interviewed roughly 16 attorney firms and individuals, with various ideas and fees, but after one meeting with Dan we all knew he was the man to champion the challenge to win over the false charges stacked against me. Dan Chambers was reasonable, compassionate and available. I would not be free physically, emotionally or literally today, if not for Dan Chambers. Dan was and is the best man for the job. And You Can Put Your Money On That!!! "
