Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Dan O'Neill for legal help. He is very calm and helps make a stressful situation a lot easier to get through. He is very knowledgeable and well respected in the legal community. Dealing with a car accident and insurance companies is not easy, however, Dan really knows how to get th...rough it all with great success in the end. No one wants to have to need legal help due to accidents, but if you are in this situation and want to have a positive outcome, I would definitely consult with Dan O'Neill for help on your case. He will let you know if he can help you or not and he is very honest, fair and nice to work with. The office staff are also very helpful and extremely nice as well. I could not have gotten through my two cases without his help. He made a huge difference for me and my outcomes were quite successful. Dan really can make a difference and I honestly would recommend anyone to seek his help if needed!

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
