Old times are gone, now the firm is not as professional as before

The good reviews are from the past. Recently, most of the reviews online were bad on other sites, and reviews said he was not well prepared and lacked empathy. I see a lot of padding in billing. Hours spent on discussing and doing wrong math on CPA/professional reports among themselves. Then, when yo...u point out the mistake in math, they go back and redo the math and bill you more hours. And tell you that you are so smart. If the report is from a professional, why do they need to charge so much for doing all the calculations again? More than 3 hours billed for a court hearing when most of the time was spent in waiting in the lobby. They would talk to each other and won't even discuss your case with you before the hearing. If you push to discuss/ talk, you will be yelled at.

Exceeded all expectations

Daniel Jensen represented me in court a few years ago. Without getting too specific, I expected him to do a professional and thorough job, but he offered so much more. He gave excellent advice about actions I should take before and during court appearances. Daniel also provided insight about the norm...al court procedures and his expectations about my case, which were gathered from his many years of experience. He treated me with utmost respect -- not only did he keep me informed about developments regarding the case, but I felt that I could trust him to get the best possible outcome. I was grateful that Daniel would be my lawyer, but it was only once the case was over that I understood just how lucky I was to have him represent me. Thanks for all your help Dan.

Looking for the Best Attorney - Dan Jensen is the One!

Dan is an amazing attorney and has an outstanding reputation amoung his colleagues. No matter how hard the case, he always seems to get the best for his client. I am an attorney in the industry, and my first call with any personal legal issue is to Dan. I have watched him over the years in divorce ca...ses, criminal cases, and civil cases and he excels at them all. In fact, in most instances, he leaves the other attorneys in the court room and sometimes even the judges shaking their heads stating "how does he do that" as he gets a positive outcome for client after client. I HIGHLY recommend the Law Offices of Daniel Jensen to anyone who wants a superstar supporting them.
