Handled my 290 registration problems

Mr Daley represented me in a California 290 sex offender registration problem. I was cited for not properly registering. Mr. Daley was able to present enough information and evidence to the judge in pre-trial that the DA dismissed the case. It was clear Mr. Daley knew the law much better than the... Assistant DA and the police. I am continuing to use him and his firm in furture actions

Integrity and proficiency.... Thank You! Mr. Daley

I hired Mr. Daley of the Innocence Legal Team last year (2012). My case was quite unique as there was virtually no case law relating to my situation. Mr. Daley was in constant communication with me in regards to the approach we had to take in order to resolve my issue. He explained to me in detail ev...ery aspect of what had to be done, how it would be done and other avenues we may have had to take if our initial case argument wasn't given merit through the case law available at the time. Mr. Daley did an outstanding job of finding pertinent case law that pertained to my situation and was proficient in representing me in court. The outcome was favorable for us and I can not thank him enough for his hard work. I found Mr. Daley to be honest, communicative and extremely capable in his profession. I have dealt with several other attorneys who were unwilling or unable to provide the same high level standard I expect and received from Mr. Daley. His integrity is beyond reproach based on my experience with him. Mr. Daley has a genuine desire to help and defend people with his legal expertise. When things got stressful, confusing or didn't go as planned (rescheduled court dates, etc....) he took the time to sit down in person or over the phone with me and my family and calm us all down. Mr. Daley returned all of my phone calls and e-mails promptly. Communication is the most important factor to me and Mr. Daley provided that, even going above and beyond what I expected from dealings with other attorneys. He is an excellent attorney and has a great team behind him as well. I have personally recommended him to several friends and family members should they ever need an attorney. His character is upstanding, his appearance is appropriate and his fees are more than acceptable and fair based on his abilities.

Rating:  6.7 (Good)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2010

updated on 01/20/2016

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

William’s comment:

“Having observed the practice in a number of firms, I employed a legally trained non-lawyer to handle case intake. Even though I consulted an ethics attorney, and ran the plan by the bar's ethic's hotline, this was later determined by the bar's prosecutor's office to be assisting in the unauthorized practice of law, a breach of legal ethics.”
