Guy Galambos, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Dan is smart, experienced, and hard working. But what makes Dan such a great lawyer is that he truly cares about his clients. I have worked with him using Trial Lawyers College techniques and he knows how to listen to clients and witnesses and not just understand them, but be able to tell their stories in a compelling way. If I ever need a personal injury attorney, Dan is my first choice. I have referred many of my criminal clients to him and no one has ever been disappointed.
